Pro Stock Motorcycle Matt Smith KING, N.C,Tue, 2 Aug 2011 Matt Smith at zMAX 151.jpgMatt Smith 070.jpgThe NHRA Full Throttle Series provides fans with more access to drivers and teams than any other form of racing. Drag addicts can regularly be seen hobnobbing with some of the best racers on the planet at any given event.

The level of access just got better. Former Pro Stock Motorcycle champion Matt Smith is offering fans a unique opportunity to be a part of his team for his home race at zMAX Dragway in Concord, N.C., Sept. 15-18. Matt Smith Racing is selling sponsorships to the general public for the O’Reilly NHRA Nationals for $20. For their money, sponsors will receive an invitation to the MSR Pit Party at the track Thursday, Sept. 15, where they can sign their name on the bike, receive an autograph from Matt Smith and Angie Smith, and participate in a group photo with Matt, Angie, the MSR Fan Buell, and other sponsors. Sponsors will only receive one MSR Pit Party invitation and can only sign one name per $20 sponsorship; however, fans may purchase as many sponsorships as they would like. If a sponsor is unable to attend the Pit Party, Matt or Angie will sign the sponsor’s name to the bike personally and an autograph will be mailed to them. “We wanted to show the fans our appreciation for all the support they’ve given us, especially recently when we have been faced with some adversity,” said Matt, a former winner at zMAX Dragway. “Sponsoring Matt Smith Racing for the Charlotte race gives our fans a chance to be a part of the team. We’re looking forward to meeting with them and having a great time before the race.” For more information on this opportunity,questions regarding sponsorships, e-mail Matt Smith Racing at SponsorMattsBike@yahoo.com.
