Midwest Speed, Inc. is pleased to announce that 4m.net will join Indiana Decal Co. and Arizona Sport Shirts along with GOTTA RACE and Speed Chicks.net as the presenting sponsors of the 7th Annual MIDWEST SPEED EXPO Racers Trade Show and Swap Meet to be held on January 9 and 10, 2010 in Springfield, Illinois at the ORR Building on the Illinois State Fairgrounds.

4m.net, the pioneer in the fan forum message board arena will be on hand at the show and will be joined by some of the calendar girls from Speed Chicks.net as well as representatives from the Indiana Decal Co. and Arizona Sport Shirt and GOTTA RACE to meet and greet race fans and show attendees.

Show hours for the MIDWEST SPEED EXPO are 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. on both Saturday and Sunday. The shortened hours on Saturday will allow more time for exhibitors to prepare for attendance at the United Midwestern Promoters UMP DIRTcar Racing banquet held in Springfield in conjunction with the expo. The banquet will return to the luxurious CROWNE PLAZA Hotel located conveniently off of Interstate 55 on Dirksen Parkway.

What better way to spend a wintery Saturday or Sunday just before the start of the new season? The MIDWEST SPEED EXPO is your opportunity to look over and purchase both new and used parts for your racing program as well as to talk with representatives from area tracks to catch up on any rule changes. Also on hand will be representatives from chassis manufacturers as well as shock, wheel, fuel, tires and safety equipment to answer any questions you may have.

On Sunday the 3rd Annual Midwest Speed “DRIVER of the YEAR” will be named and awarded in memory of my mother Cindy Young. The award will include $500.00 cash and products for the winning driver! The winner will join last years co-winners Jeff Leka of Buffalo, Illinois and Justin Allgaier of Riverton, Illinois and Dennis Erb of Carpentersville, IL., winner of the inaugural award.
