RACEMN TO ESTABLISH THE MINNESOTA MODIFIED HALL OF FAME AT OGILVIE RACEWAY

Sauk Centre, MN (December 15, 2009) – The Race Minnesota Modified Series (RACEMN), an open wheel modified racing series set to debut in 2010, will not only promote the open wheeled modified warriors of Central Minnesota, but will also take a step back to promote the rich history of modified racing in the state of Minnesota with the creation of the Minnesota Modified Hall of Fame to be housed at Ogilivie Raceway in Ogilvie, MN.

The Minnesota Modified Hall of Fame (MMHOF) will debut during the summer of 2010 with the opening of a museum at Ogilivie Raceway. The first class of nominations will be conducted on the RACEMN website in early spring of 2010. A subsequent fan vote will determine and declare the first two inductees into the Minnesota Modified Hall of Fame.

The inductees will enter the MMHOF during the Tuesday August 3, 2010, race date at Ogilvie Raceway on the RACEMN schedule, as this event has now been tabbed the “Minnesota Modified Hall of Fame Day.” Ceremonies and other festivities will follow before, during, and after the event.

“The historical aspect of racing is always something that has been very interesting to me. Some of the finest modified pilots the sport has ever seen have come from the state of Minnesota. The design of the MMHOF is to celebrate those drivers and make it into an annual event with plenty of fan interaction, something that is a key part of our series foundation,” stated RACEMN Series Director Ray Beste.

More details and information on the MMHOF promotion will be announced in the coming months.
