Camping Available for Pep Boys Auto 500 Weekend of Night Racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway



HAMPTON, Ga. Based on the current rate of camping reservations, Atlanta Motor Speedway expects a record number of campers for its upcoming Pep Boys Auto 500 race weekend on Labor Day weekend.

Fans still have the opportunity to select from a limited number of reserved campsites for the Sept. 5 and 6 race weekend, including the Trackside Terrace Luxury RV camping area overlooking the Speedway along the backstretch.

Each Trackside Terrace RV spot includes full RV hookups, 10 pit passes and tickets, and one additional tow pass for a second vehicle. Trackside Terrace locations can be purchased for $3,500.

Included in camping opportunities still available are the Legends Tent Campground and the Elliott Campground, which included Elliott Reserved Handicapped Camping. These camp areas were added earlier this summer due to overwhelming demand for event camping.

In addition to reserved camping opportunities, unreserved camp areas will open on Saturday, Aug. 29 at 8:00 a.m. Queue lines for unreserved camping open on Wednesday, Aug. 26 at 12:01 a.m.

Camping World Launches "Cash for Campers" Recycle & Save Rebate ... - Market Wire

Posted: 11 Aug 2009 12:00 PM PDT

SOURCE: Camping World

LINCOLNSHIRE, IL--(Marketwire - August 11, 2009) - Camping World, the nation's largest RV and outdoor retailer, today announced their unique effort to mirror the government program "Cash for Clunkers" currently supported by the Automotive Industry and Department of Transportation.

Camping World's self-funded recycle and save initiative called "Cash for Campers" is aimed at current Recreational Vehicle owners. This program is focused on improving the quality of vehicles currently in circulation as well as stimulating the economy in heavy hit manufacturing states such as Iowa and Indiana. The "Cash for Campers" program incentivizes RV consumers to transition into new and more fuel efficient motorized RVs when they trade in an older, less fuel efficient model.

Camping World has aligned itself with the three top selling motorhome manufacturers in America: Damon, Winnebago and Four Winds. All are currently leading the charge towards improving environmental issues; with efforts in such areas as chassis selection, fuel savings through design and long-term durability. These changes are evident in their current motorhome line-up such as the View, Navion, Avanti and Serrano to name a few.

Marcus Lemonis, Camping World Chairman & CEO, commented, "As the market leader, Camping World currently retails over 18% of all new motorhomes sold in the U.S. We believe that an accelerated transition of the current installed base ultimately accomplishes several important goals; to remove less fuel efficient models from the roads, increase the demand for new and more efficient motorhomes which will ideally result in assisting the RV manufacturers in putting people back to work."

Camping World also plans to permanently retire less fuel efficient models ages 1984 and older through a salvage process. Lemonis further detailed, "If a consumer owns a less fuel efficient and less technologically advanced motorhome and is interested in trading it in through the 'Cash for Campers' program, their unit is eligible for a cash allowance towards select new models at Camping World."

The company expects to launch similar programs in the near future on recycling towable models as well as select RV accessories with more details to be released as plans get underway.

More details about the program can be found at www.CampingWorld.com/cashforcampers.

Interstate Batteries Offers Unique Fundraising Idea - PR Newswire

Posted: 11 Aug 2009 06:59 AM PDT

DALLAS, Aug. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Boy Scout troops, sports teams, cheerleaders and youth groups are earning substantial amounts of money for special trips, programs and education through Interstate Batteries' powerful battery fundraising program. This ideal program caters to organizations that fund their own programs.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20031030/DATH057LOGO)

Interstate's national fundraising program was founded in 2002 to help groups and individuals across the United States earn up to 50 percent profit selling multi-pack alkaline batteries in popular sizes including AA, AAA and 9Vs, battery organizers with built-in testers and flashlights. Groups that use the program say fundraising with Interstate is easy because they offer a practical product that everyone uses.

A Boy Scout Troop of 48 boys in Dallas sold more than $57,000 in their fifth annual spring fundraiser to help raise funds for their Troop's yearly activities. "With the help of Interstate Batteries, our kids have been able to raise enough money to go on camping trips and buy new hiking equipment," said Scout dad Doug MacKinnon.

As the top-selling scout of the troop, Christian Lundberg has sold $20,000 in alkaline batteries over the past two years. "With the Interstate Batteries fundraiser, Christian was able to contribute a portion of his sales to his college fund and sponsor a missionary trip to Africa," said his mother Catherine. "Kids like Christian are successful with this program because it offers a popular product that everyone needs."

The average household has 21 different battery-powered devices from gaming controls to flashlights and TV remotes. Interstate's fundraising products offer numerous power solutions for work and play, storm preparedness, blackouts and nighttime safety.

"We are a company that cares about our customers," said Leslie Marshall, Interstate Batteries Fundraising Director. "Unlike wrapping paper and cookie dough, our batteries are a necessity in powering homes and offices, and we love the success stories we continue to hear."

Interstate Batteries fundraising program also enabled a woman, who was unable to afford the expenses of traveling, to raise enough money to follow her dream of singing the national anthem at sporting events. With the money she raised, she was able to perform at a Baltimore Orioles game.
