KANKAKEE, Ill. -- It was announced today, November 5th, that Court Street Ford, the area's leading Ford dealership located in Bourbonnais, IL, has partnered with Kankakee County Speedway to be the official sponsor of the UMP Late Model division for 2010, with an option to continue beyond next season. This comes as huge news to all of us involved at KCS and will definitely set the standard of commitment within the communities business leaders. The division will now be referred to as the Court Street Ford UMP Late Models.

Furthermore, Court Street Ford has graciously furnished us with a brand new 2010 Ford Mustang that will be raffled off over the course of the season providing one lucky fan the thrill of a lifetime. The Ford Mustang, has been a symbol of American made muscle for 45 years, and is truly an iconic marvel of automotive engineering.

Tickets will be available from February 21st at the Racer's Swap Meet at the Kankakee County Fairgrounds through September 25th when the winning ticket will be drawn. Tickets will be available for $5 a chance with only a limited number of tickets being sold. Any proceeds from the raffle will be used to development a driver's benevolent fund and a driver's point fund. A benevolent fund will be established in the event any of our driver's were to get injured or come upon any unusual hardships, and be in need of some financial assistance.

Needless to say we are very excited with our relationship with the folks from Court Street Ford, who have been there for us from day one.
