The American Drag Racing League (ADRL) announced that its website, ADRL.us :: American Drag Racing League, has been named the title sponsor for the eighth annual ADRL.us Shakedown at E’Town, which takes place Oct. 1-3 at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ.
In addition to the ADRL.us title sponsorship, the ADRL’s in-house magazine, Adrenaline, will also sponsor the event’s Adrenaline Pro Extreme Eighth-Mile Challenge.
“When the situation presented itself last week that Al-Anabi would not be able to continue as the title sponsor of this great event as a result of their contact with the ADRL, it became a high priority for both myself and (Al-Anabi owner) KH Al-Thani to help (Shakedown founder and promoter) Dave (Hance) secure a title sponsor,” ADRL President and CEO Kenny Nowling said.
“It was never our intention to hurt the Shakedown event when the clause was put into the Al-Anabi contract, so I wanted to make sure that I did whatever I could do to help resolve the situation. Dave is not only a great friend, but also a competitor in the ADRL, so I wanted to help him in any way possible. As a promoter of national events, I know the value that comes with an event title sponsorship. Dave, his crew and everyone at Englishtown have done a great job building the awareness for this event.
“With the explosive growth of ADRL.us, I saw this as a great opportunity to get an immense amount of exposure for our website and generate even more interest in it. I’m extremely excited about this partnership and I am looking forward to attending my first Shakedown at E’Town.”
The Shakedown is widely regarded as one of the quickest and fastest outlaw drag races in the world, and the event has become an annual destination for many of the top drivers in the world.
Included in that group is ADRL Pro Extreme driver KH Al-Thani, who will be competing in the Adrenaline Pro Extreme Eighth-Mile Challenge.
Al-Thani has also increased his involvement with Speedtech, which will stay on as the sponsor for the Pro Nitrous class at the event.
“Dave is a class act and we were determined to make this right by him, regardless of the circumstances,” KH Al-Thani said. “I’m happy for everyone involved, especially the fans who attend this great event every year. I’m also looking forward to competing in the Adrenaline Pro Extreme Eighth-Mile Challenge.”
The eighth annual event features action-packed racing in eight different classes – the Pro Extreme Eighth-Mile Challenge, Pro Nitrous, Pro Mod Blown, Mountain Motor Pro Stock, Outlaw 10.5, Heavy Street, Drag Radial and 8.50 Index.
The collection of classes and drivers has continually made it a memorable event, and Hance is excited about the new title sponsor for this year’s exciting weekend.
“When the contract issue presented itself, I was obviously devastated,” Hance said. “However, the very next day, after speaking with both Kenny and KH, I knew that everything was going to be fine. This is truly a win for the sport of drag racing and its fans in the Northeast. I am humbled to have such great partners like the ADRL and Speedtech for this event.”
