SPEEDWAYEXPO'S 'PET OF THE EXPO' RETURNS
Prizes include fame and a year's supply of Canidae All Natural Pet Food

   SpeedwayEXPO 2009, presented by Sunoco, will for the third consecutive year select an official "Pet of the EXPO." The honor is open to all animals (except snakes-we don't like snakes). In addition to being featured as Speedway Illustrated Magazine's Shop Pet of the Month, the winner will also receive a full year's supply of food from Canidae All Natural Pet Food, the sponsor of the competition.
   Judging is based on the pet's charm and appeal as expressed in a photo, and the pet's biography. Print or digital entries should be submitted to Barbara Desmond, Speedway Illustrated, 107 Elm Street, Salisbury, MA 01952, or bdesmond@speedwayillustrated.com. (Please, only one image per email; or put them on a disk and mail it to her. Don't forget to put your own name and address on any submitted materials.)
   In addition, pet photos and descriptions may be submitted in person at SpeedwayEXPO on Friday, February 27, the first day of the show and the final day to enter. All pet photos will be displayed in the magazine's booth at EXPO.
   Last year's Pet of the EXPO was a three-month-old Yorkie named Romeo. The winner is pictured with Kristy Chaves, who competes in the Allison Legacy North Series.
   SpeedwayEXPO tickets purchased in advance offer a $5 discount off the price at the gate. These money-saving tickets are available at 978-465-9099 x 103 (ask for Barbara) or online at SpeedwayEXPO.com.
   Produced by Speedway Illustrated Magazine and sponsored by Sunoco, SpeedwayEXPO will be at the Big E, in West Springfield, MA, Feb. 27 - March 1, 2009. It is the largest event for drivers, teams, tracks, and racing vendors in the Northeast. SpeedwayEXPO will launch the 2009 racing season with more than 200 new race cars and old favorites, and hundreds of exhibits for drivers, crews, and fans from a dozen states and Canada. Thousands of enthusiasts pack more than 130,000 square feet of exhibit space to take part in seminars and demonstrations; see retailers of racing gear and memorabilia; and meet today's and yesterday's racing celebrities.
