Uhh, file this under Never Mind, or, just because a racetrack PR person says it’s so, obviously doesn’t mean it is. Maybe the moral of the story is, the Willow Springs International Raceway PR guy should do some fact-checking with the WSMC Operations Manager before issuing press releases.

The incorrect press release ran here 1/19/02 and also ran on several other sites.

From an e-mail sent by WSMC Operations Manager Kenny Kopecky:

“Just saw the latest online post (of an official WSMC press release) about our 10th anniversary?!

“It was last month…Dec. 1991 was first WSMC event weekend and Dec. 2001 our 10-year WSMC Anniversary event. (We gave out commemorative plaques, too!)
