Racers who wish to register for Pinks All Out at Route 66 Raceway June 25-26 can breathe a little easier.

Instead of having just minutes to register on a first-come/first-served basis, racers will have five days to submit their information. After that five-day window, a random drawing will determine which of those registrants will be one of the 425 racers to make the 500-racer field for this episode of the television show Pinks All Out, to premiere on Speed later this year.

Racers who wish to participate in the drawing must register between 8:30 a.m. CDST Monday, March 15, 2010, and 5 p.m. CDST Friday, March 19, 2010. Entries for this drawing will not be accepted before or after that time. Racers may register one of three ways: online at www.Route66Raceway.com (where a link will be posted for registration from 8:30 a.m. CDST on March 15, 2010, until 5 p.m. CDST on March 19, 2010), by drop-off between 8:30 a.m. CDST and 5 p.m. CDST at the Route 66 Raceway office (Gate 12, 500 Speedway Blvd., Joliet, IL 60433), or in person at the Route 66 Raceway office.

Registration information must be submitted on the official Route 66 Raceway Pinks All Out registration form that may be filled out and sent online through the link provided on www.Route66Raceway.com on March 15, 2010, or printed, completed, and delivered to the Route 66 Raceway office by 5 p.m. CDST on March 19. (This address may also be used when getting directions from Web sites: 3200 S. Chicago St., Joliet, IL 60433.) Racers may receive and complete an official registration form at the Route 66 Raceway office during the previously listed time frame. If a racer chooses to register at the office, he or she must come to the office in person to register. No early or mail entries will be accepted. Complete rules, regulations, and additional information for the Route 66 Raceway Pinks All Out registration drawing will be posted at www.Route66Raceway.com. One entry per racer will be included in the drawing, which is open to legal residents of the United States age 18 or older with a valid driver’s license.

Racers will find out March 30 if they were chosen in the drawing through the e-mail address provided when registering. A list of the racers who were chosen will also be posted on www.Route66Raceway.com on March 30. Racers who are selected must complete the registration process (including paying registration fees) by 5 p.m. CDST on Friday, April 9, 2010, or an alternate will be selected by random drawing from all remaining eligible entries.

Racers who are not chosen through the drawing may attempt to make the field during a qualifying race May 16. That will determine the remaining 75 racers who will make the 500-car field for the June 26 event. This will include the Quick 8.

A hotline has been set up specifically for this event. Call 877-691-7223 (RACE) for more information about Pinks All Out at Route 66 Raceway.
