Al
Jones, Mayor of the Town of Mooresville, North Carolina plans to
proclaim the week of May 2- May 9, 2005 as the “National Pit
Crew Championship Powered by Tyson Week.”
Legendary crew chief Larry McReynolds along with other crew
chiefs will join Tyson Foods, Inc. to unveil details of the
National Pit Crew Championship Powered by Tyson, one of the most
unique and exciting motorsports competitions to come to Race City
this year. Mooresville
town officials and event organizers will outline plans for making
the competition run smoothly, with a great experience and easy
access for all fans attending.
WHAT:
The proclamation will be read at Pit Instruction and
Training (PIT) in Mooresville, North Carolina, where the
competition will take place on May 9, 2005. The top 30 Cup and top
10 Busch pit crews have been invited to compete against each other
in a bracketed event for the fastest pit stop. The best teams will
have the chance to win a $500,000 prize in the final bonus round,
“The Powered by Tyson Pit Stop.” The event will be televised
on SPEED Channel, and all proceeds from the event will go to
Second Harvest and Victory Junction Gang. WHY:
Throughout the stock car racing season, the drivers are the
heroes and the stars. But,
on May 9th in Mooresville, North Carolina, the drivers
will take a back seat to jack men, tire men and gas men during the
National Pit Crew Championship Powered by Tyson.
The competition created by Tyson Foods and the Crew Chief
Club will recognize the men and women who support their drivers week
in and week out. Tyson Foods is very excited to be part of this
event, as the company will power those who power motorsports. To attend the event, fans must have a ticket, which is
