Clarksville Speedway gains new name, new sponsorship

Deal with StormPay.com will allow track to expand,

raise cash prizes

Sponsor helps track owners continue renovation By

A natural association of two enterprises involved in

dirt track racing turned into a business alliance

Friday when StormPay.com became the primary sponsor of

Clarksville Speedway.

StormPay.com - a payment processing company for online

auctions - and the speedway agreed to a two-year deal,

with an option for an additional two-year sponsorship.

Financial terms were not disclosed, but Steve Girsky,

CEO of StormPay.com, said sponsorship dollars will

allow the renamed Clarksville StormPay.com Speedway to

continue its expansion and renovation, while

increasing the cash awarded to race winners.

Girsky and speedway owners William and Tammy Scogins

began discussions about the business venture two weeks

ago. StormPay.com is the primary sponsor of the Crate

Racin’ USA Series, which has grown from a regional

dirt racing event into a national racing series in

only one year.

StormPay.com’s involvement in the speedway, a

clay-oval dirt track on Needmore Road, is a separate

business deal from its sponsorship of the racing

series.

"Anything and everything we do out here will be

focused around StormPay.com," William Scogins said.

"It’s a great handshake that we’ve been able to find

somebody in our own town, in our community that’s

going to take interest in racing the way they’ve had."

StormPay.com’s involvement with the speedway also

includes the Friday night drag racing series and the

go-cart track.

The speedway is undergoing its most extensive

renovation since the Scoginses bought the facility

five years ago. Corporate suites and a new media tower

are under construction.

Sponsorship adds fuel to speedway’s dreams.
