USMA Named Presenting Sponsor of Outside Groove Racing Show

The U.S. Motorsports Association (USMA) has been named the presenting sponsor of the inaugural edition of the Outside Groove Racing Show, event organizers announced.

The show, open to the public, will be held Feb. 25-26 in Knoxville, Tennessee, inside the Jacob Building at Chilhowee Park, and will be attended by a number of racing industry vendors, organizers said.

“Unlike the stick-and-ball sports, the benefits of racing are not always understood by our elected officials and the general public,” said J.A. Ackley, Outside Groove Racing Show promoter. “People unacquainted with the sport often have negative misconceptions about motorsports.  The USMA is making an impact by educating the public and building permanent relationships with lawmakers.  At the Outside Groove Racing Show, we share the USMA’s mission to support all forms of racing.”

“Outside Groove has pioneered a new show that will serve the Southeast racing community with an event that is shaping up to be fun and productive.  We are excited to have the opportunity to attend and share our message with racers and fans,” said Shawn Stewart, Executive Director of the USMA.  “We know from our research that grassroots racing is a massive economic driver and job creator across America.  The majority of that impact comes from grassroots racing and a large portion exists in the Southeast, so a trade show in the region makes good sense.”
