- Las
Vegas Events Announces Cancellation of SCORE Las Vegas Cup IV
LAS VEGAS (June 23, 2008) – Las Vegas Events announced today that
July’s scheduled SCORE Las Vegas Cup IV has been cancelled. The event
was scheduled to be held July 18-19 at the Dirt Track at Las Vegas
Motor Speedway.
“The SCORE Las Vegas Cup has been an important summer event for Las
Vegas Events,” said Pat Christenson, president of Las Vegas Events.
“Unfortunately, we could not deliver a race experience this year that
SCORE fans have become accustomed to and expect. In the future, we
will continue to support SCORE desert racing.
“It is very disappointing for SCORE to see this exciting event be
cancelled, but circumstances beyond our control significantly dictated
the outcome,” said Sal Fish, SCORE President/CEO. "We want to thank
Las Vegas Events for their commitment and support, as well as those
racers who had signed up and were ready to participate. Unfortunately,
there were not enough entries."
Las Vegas Events will give full refunds to fans who have purchased
tickets for the event. Fans can call 866-388-FANS for more
information.
The SCORE Laughlin Desert Challenge, held each January, and
September’s SCORE Terrible's Primm 300 are also both sponsored by Las
Vegas Events and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
Founded in 1981, Las Vegas Events, Inc. is a private, not-for-profit
organization that serves as the exclusive special events agency for
the city.
SCORE International, based in Los Angeles and founded in 1973, is the
world’s leading desert racing organization. SCORE produces the annual
SCORE Desert Series, which includes three races in Baja Mexico and
three in Southern Nevada.
Next up for the 2008 SCORE Desert Series will be the 13th Annual SCORE
Terrible’s Primm 300 desert race, to be held September 5-6 in Primm,
Nevada.
