Public invited to AAA Roush Racing event
AAA will have the new Roush Racing, AAA sponsored #6 NEXTEL Cup race car on display, and fans will have the opportunity to race in the #6 AAA simulator racecar in a virtual experience of roaring around Daytona International Speedway at more than 200 mph.
Everyone winning their race in the simulator will receive a certificate noting the speed they attained. Top scorers in AAA's simulator will be entered in a contest, with prizes including 1/24 die-cast models of the new vehicle.
Additionally, those stopping by the AAA Motorsports display can enter to win two tickets to the Michigan International Speedway June 17 NEXTEL Cup Race.
The public is welcome to stop by and pick up a "hero" card of David Ragan, the new full-time driver of Roush Racing's flagship #6 AAA Ford Fusion in 2007. Ragan, 21, began racing at age 11 in the Bandolero Series. He will compete for the title of Rookie of the Year in the NEXTEL Cup Series this year. AAA has partnered with Roush Racing since 2006 to serve as the primary sponsor of the #6 Ford Fusion. WRIF radio will broadcast from Ford Field.
