DANVILLE, VA Promoters of the Suzuki Big Kahuna Nationals, featuring the AMA Superbike Championship presented by Parts Unlimited, scheduled for the weekend of August 15-17 at VIRginia International Raceway, have signed with Foremost Insurance as the Official Insurance of the Big Kahuna. “Foremost is proud to be the official insurance sponsor for the 2008 Suzuki Big Kahuna AMA Superbike Championship presented by Rockstar Energy Drink, Dunlop and Makita,” said Randy Slotten, Foremost Insurance Director of Marketing. “We are strong supporters of AMA racing and appreciate the opportunity to be a part of events like this one at VIRginia International Raceway, which showcase motorcycle racing and the riders who’ve made it popular. “The Suzuki Big Kahuna event has grown to be one of the biggest races in the AMA Superbike Championship series, and we are excited about sponsoring such a popular event at one of the top tracks in America,” added Slotten. “At Foremost, we understand that many motorcycle enthusiasts enjoy motorcycle racing and that is why we support exceptional events like the Suzuki Big Kahuna and teams like LeoVince Foremost Insurance Ducati Team and the Foremost Insurance Suzuki Team,” stated Randy Slotten, Director of Marketing, Foremost Insurance. “I am really excited about this new partnership with Foremost and look forward to growing with them for many years to come,” said event promoter Cameron Gray. “We keep looking for more and better ways to enhance both a rider’s experience and the show we put on for fans. We’re looking forward to growing our business with them for years to come.” Foremost is also the title sponsor for Larry Pegram’s Ducati race team, adding their backing of the event to the team sponsorship. While the main attraction is on the track, the Big Kahuna offers fans far more than mere on-track thrills. An exhibit of vintage race motorcycles is planned, with these history-making machines taking parade laps of the track. Some of the riders of historic race bikes have planned to attend, making this one of the most interesting gatherings of vintage bikes for the year. The historics aren’t the only off-track attraction though, with live music, displays, vendors and lots more all there for the enjoyment of guests. Plan now to attend the 2008 Big Kahuna Nationals. Previous Big Kahuna Nationals have produced some of the biggest racing thrills seen and this year’s race promises to be even better.

Now under the umbrella of Fox Television Networks, Speed Channel (formerly Speedvision) is thriving.
