DOVER, Del. – Dover
International Speedway
officials today announced a
new title for the Saturday,
Sept. 20, 2008 NASCAR
Nationwide Series race — the
“Camping World RV Sales 200
supporting the Childress
Institute for Pediatric
Trauma.”
Camping World, the
world’s largest retailer of
recreational vehicles, is
also the title sponsor of
Dover’s Sunday, Sept. 21,
2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup
Series race, the “Camping
World RV 400 presented by
AAA.”
Dover’s partnership with
Camping World will include a
6,400 sq. foot store in the
newly developed FanZone
display area at the Speedway
on race weekend. The new
store will feature a variety
of products and services
also offered at over 100
Camping World retail
locations across the
country.
“Adding the title
sponsorship of the
Nationwide race on Saturday
completes what should be a
very exciting weekend at the
Monster Mile for the
millions of outdoor
enthusiasts who follow
NASCAR,” said Kurt Hunt,
director of motorsports for
Camping World. “Saturday’s
Camping World RV Sales 200,
supporting the Childress
Institute for Pediatric
Trauma, fits nicely in
between the NASCAR Camping
World Series race on Friday,
and the Camping World RV 400
presented by AAA, on
Sunday.”
At a press conference on
July 30, 2008, the Richard
Childress family announced
plans for the Childress
Institute for Pediatric
Trauma. The new Institute,
located in Winston-Salem,
N.C., is a partnership with
the Wake Forest University
Baptist Medical Center. The
Childress Institute for
Pediatric Trauma will become
the nation’s most
comprehensive institute for
pediatric trauma. The
initial goals of the
Institute are to increase
national research and
development of pediatric
trauma treatments and the
completion of a Level 1
Trauma Center at the
facility.
“We’re honored to have a
great partner like Camping
World support the Childress
Institute in such a public
fashion,” said Childress,
president and CEO of Richard
Childress Racing and the
driving force behind the
Institute. “Camping World’s
support will help raise
awareness of the Institute’s
goals and drive traffic to
www.childresspediatrictrauma.org
for education and
fundraising.”
NASCAR returns to Dover
International Speedway this
September for three days of
championship-fueled action
including the Sept. 21, 2008
“Camping World RV 400
presented by AAA” NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series race, the

World RV Sales 200
supporting the Childress
Institute for Pediatric
Trauma” NASCAR Nationwide
