#99 CARL EDWARDS SUBWAY SHOW CAR
ON DISPLAY AT 2009 BIG E!

The Big E will host the #99 Carl Edwards Subway Show Car in a special display Sept. 23-26 in the Food Court.

Fairgoers and NASCAR enthusiasts will have the chance to get up close to the storied racecar and examine what makes this masterpiece of the raceway tick. This car and those like it racing in the Sprint Cup Series typically reach speeds of 180 mph, but can exceed 200 mph at certain racetracks. These cars are only "stock" in name, with everything about them being custom made and meticulously designed and manufactured.

Have your picture taken with a vehicle that can cruise up to 200 miles per hour pulling gut wrenching G-forces inches away from other cars in 120 degree heat. Marvel at the aerodynamic curves of the car. Notice the intricate decals that often define a successful NASCAR team. Be astonished by the massive engine which approaches scorching hot temperatures of up to 2000 degrees during miles of intense racing. See the science and engineering mastery in the perfect design of the car.

Carl Edwards is one of the most popular and successful NASCAR drivers on the entire circuit. His signature style has made its stamp on NASCAR despite him only being on the circuit for five years. Fans are absolutely electrified after each of his victories by his patented back-flip off his car. Fans have been treated to this acrobatic spectacle many times over the past five years, with Edwards emerging as one of the preeminent drivers in all of NASCAR. He even finished second in overall points in 2008 for the Sprint Cup.

The Big E takes place Sept. 18 - Oct. 4, 2008 in West Springfield, Mass. For tickets and more information visit www.TheBigE.com or call The Big E Info Line at 413-205-5115.
