Governor Sonny ‘Burn Rubber’ Perdue to Compete in Friday Night Drags June 27

Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue and his staff will be joining the fun of Friday Night Drags presented by AC Delco on Friday, June 27. Perdue has invited his staff to celebrate the end of session, end of bill signings and the beginning of summer by enjoying a night of heads up drag racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway. He will be competing in a 2008 Chevrolet Impala SS Atlanta Motor Speedway pace car in the Domestic division. The Governor will also have at least one match race against AMS president and general manager Ed Clark.

The evening will also feature the General Lee Challenge as the speedway welcomes the 30th Anniversary of the 1970’s hit television show Dukes of Hazzard the following morning. Several 1969 Dodge Chargers are expected for this unique drag racing competition.

There will also be a full night of points racing for the Friday Night Drags competitors. A full awards night for the Show-N-Shine participants and a more fun for the fans in the stands.
