Richard Petty Driving Experience’s General Manager Barry Graham, has announced his support for the upcoming 2006/2007 national Speedcar Super Series, joining a multitude of backers for Australia’s finest midget competition.

“We’re extremely pleased that Barry and Richard Petty Driving Experience are continuing to support Australian Speedcar racing, this year committing as a Major Sponsor of our six round series” said SSS Director Ken Jenkins. “Barry mentioned last season that the SSS events showcased some of the best Midget racing he had seen and he’s backed up his comments by becoming such an enthusiastic supporter of the SSS”.

The Richard Petty Driving Experience began as the dream of Barry Graham; as a stock car driver search program. Starting as the Melbourne-based business NASTRAK in 1987, Graham moved the business to the US in 1990 joining forces with long-time friend Richard Petty. By 1994, the business had evolved into the now well known Richard Petty Driving Experience and was reshaped to provide the experience of both driving and riding in a stock car at some of the most famous racing facilities in the world. In doing so, Richard Petty Driving Experience became the premiere motorsports entertainment company in the industry after more than a decade of operation.

Richard Petty Driving Experience runs at 27 tracks across the US, completing over 41,000 driving experiences where customers can take the wheel and 45,000 ride-along experiences where customers ride shotgun per year!

The Speedcar Super Series welcomes Richard Petty Driving Experience as a Major Sponsor for season 2006/2007. For more information on the Richard Petty Driving Experience please visit www.1800bepetty.com
