Birmingham, Ala. (May 17, 2011) Barber Motorsports Park and ZOOM Motorsports announced today that this year’s Barber Superbike Classic will be a “Salute to the Men & Women of the Alabama National Guard.” The event will be held June 17-19th and will be the eighth consecutive AMA Pro Road Racing event held at Barber Motorsports Park. This year’s event will honor the brave men and women of the Alabama National Guard for their active service. “The Alabama National Guard continually contributes to our state and this is our chance to give back to them by honoring them through an exciting weekend of racing at Barber Motorsports Park,” remarked Rick Humphrey, Vice President of ZOOM Motorsports, the exclusive event promoter of the Barber Motorsports Park. “With the devastating tornadoes that hit the state of Alabama in April, the Alabama National Guard has been a vital part of the search and rescue efforts, along with helping Alabama rebuild after this tragic disaster.” AMA Pro is the premier motorcycle road racing series in the U.S. Barber Motorsports Park is consistently one of the most-attended events on the AMA Pro annual calendar. The Barber Superbike Classic, a Salute to the Men & Women of the Alabama National Guard, will feature many exciting events for Guardsmen, including a job fair held at the park. The job fair will host several Alabama-based companies interviewing for their prospective job openings. There will also be an interview workshop and staff on-hand to assist Guardsmen with resumes and interview tips. “Alabama National Guard Soldiers are organized, skilled and responsible, making them ideal employees,” said Maj. Gen. Perry Smith, Adjutant General of the Alabama National Guard. “The leadership skills and technical training the military provides Soldiers make hiring Guardsmen a logical choice for employers. Giving employers a chance to meet some of these great Citizen-Soldiers at this job fair is good opportunity for both. I think the employers will be impressed with the quality of individuals found in the Alabama National Guard.” In addition to the job fair, the three-day weekend will include seven races, autographs sessions, a fan walk on pit lane, and an expanded fan zone.
