Joining 2006 five-time event winner Capps in the display will be sprint car
driver Stevie Smith and his Hall of Fame father Steve Smith.
The three-day show, which includes M&R Midgets (Three-Quarter Midgets and
600cc Micro Sprints) events on Jan. 12 and 13 at the nearby Boardwalk Hall,
kicks off at 1 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 12, and continues throughout the weekend
with activities coming to an end at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 14.
"It's always fun to meet and greet the fans at events such as these," said
Capps, "because it gives the fans an opportunity to meet not only their
local heroes, but drivers from all forms of motorsports. I'm proud to
represent NHRA POWERade Drag Racing in Atlantic City."
Capps, third in the 2006 NHRA Funny Car point standings, led the class for
much of the season. He finished behind 14-time champion John Force and
Force's teammate Robert Hight. Since entering the NHRA pro ranks in 1995, he
has won 22 national events in both Top Fuel and Funny Car.
The auto racing events at night and the Motorsports 2007 show during the
day, with sponsorship support from Pepsi-Cola, make for a huge blockbuster
off-season weekend in the seaside resort town of Atlantic City.
Other famous names, such as NASCAR Nextel Cup racers Denny Hamlin, Dave
Blaney, and 2003 Cup champion Matt Kenseth, will also be making appearances
at the show.
Motorsports 2007 offers more than 250 motorsports vehicles on display,
600 exhibit spaces offering just about everything imaginable in motorsports,
a variety of free seminars, appearances by many top names in the sport, and
fee autograph sessions.
