[Ted Barnes]

Sam LoVetro Automotive rewards the best of new sportsman talent!

As the popular Joe's Transmission TNT Super Series (TNTSS) approaches opening day, the 10.90 based sportsman series continues to promote new sportsman talent.

The 2012 Tim Thorne Rookie of the Year Award by Sam LoVetro Automotive will award a cash prize of $250 to the winner at the yearend banquet.

That winner will be the driver who is new to the TNTSS in 2012 and has the most points at yearend.

Started in 2011, this award was created in the memory of the late Tim Thorne. Tim was a well-known contributor to the local drag racing community in the southern Ontario area for many years who passed away last year.

Ted Barnes, TNTSS Director is pleased to see racers new to the 10.90 index class rewarded for their success. "It was Harry Phelps from Newark, NY won the very first Tim Thorne Rookie of the Year Award in 2011 and took home a brand new MSD ignition box at the banquet."

The only criteria for the award is that a racer must not have competed in more than three TNTSS events in any previous season. Otherwise anyone is eligible.

Don't miss your first opportunity in 2012 to see the best sportsman racing on the planet - this Friday May 4th at Dunn Tire Raceway Park. For everything you need to know about the Joe's Transmission TNT Super Series, visit www.tntsuperseries.com or follow us on Twitter and talk to us on Facebook.
