ABOUT Lyn St. James:

Lyn St. James, born in Willoughby, OH, made her debut in amateur racing in 1973 in the Sports Car Club of America and developed a love for racing after going to the Indianapolis 500 in 1966. When Lyn eventually raced in her first Indy 500 at the age of 45, she was just the second woman in history to race in the event. Some doubted that a woman could keep up with male drivers, and Lyn struggled to get the sponsorship she needed until J.C. Penney supported her at Indy. She took eleventh place, and became the first woman to be selected Indy 500 Rookie of the Year. Fueled by inspiration and limitless motivation, Lyn St. James managed to rise through the ranks and eventually become known as the American Woman Racing Icon of the Century. She is undoubtedly a testament to the power of determination and positive thinking. Lyn now resides in Phoenix, AZ where she operates her own 501c3 foundation, the Women in the Winner’s Circle Foundation and has developed the Driver Development Programs in quest of training the upcoming young, talented female drivers of the new millennium.

John Travolta ’70s Show Car ‘Travolta Fever’ on the eBay Auction Block

John Travolta ’70s Show Car ‘Travolta Fever’ on the eBay Auction Block











Travolta Fever


Hollywood, Calif. (Vocus) November 9, 2007

Years before mega star John Travolta started piloting his own jumbo jet, he cruised around in ‘Travolta Fever,’ a custom celebrity show car created just for him as his career took off. Now this piece of Americana is up for auction on eBay.

The most famous Pontiac Firebird ever to hit the streets was designed by famed car customizer George Barris who is also responsible for the Batmobile, the Munster Koach, the General Lee and the Monkee Mobile.

“Travolta Fever is an important piece of entertainment history,” says James Monroe, the car’s current owner from Ventura, Calif. “It is a time capsule that highlights the Hollywood fads of the late ’70s and early ’80s.”

Saturday Night Fever, the movie that catapulted Travolta to stardom and into Grease and Urban Cowboy, celebrates its 30th anniversary this year.

“Hollywood promoters wanted to create a special car that would fit Travolta’s superstar image and tied into Saturday Night Fever,” says Monroe. “Travolta Fever was built to promote John Travolta and his rising career.”

In 1980, when Travolta inspired a nationwide country music craze with Urban Cowboy, George Barris transformed the interior of Travolta Fever with an Urban Cowboy theme complete with appointed cowhide seats and an authentic saddle for the center console. Travolta Fever is also equipped with NASCAR-inspired, sculptured fender flares and a large rear whale tail.

Revell, the famous plastic model maker, produced and sold scale model kits of the Barris customized Firebird. In fact, John Travolta’s “Firebird Fever” was one of the first celebrity car model kits ever offered by the company.

After a short time of being shown on the West Coast, Travolta Fever made its way to the Midwest, where it was leased from Barris by American car and custom hot rod designer Darryl Starbird and featured in several of his shows.

Travolta Fever, John Travolta’s custom celebrity show car, along with the TravoltaFever.com Web site are being auctioned together on eBay (Item number 160175750913).

The 10-day listing ends at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 18.

Interview Requests: James Monroe is available for television, radio or newspaper interviews.

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) June 30, 2009

On July 4, 1984, Petty edged Cale Yarborough at Daytona International Speedway for win No. 200. It’s widely regarded as one of the most important days in NASCAR history: President Ronald Reagan gave the “start engine” command from Air Force One and was on hand to greet Petty after his victory. Just over a week ago, driver Kasey Kahne returned team owner Petty to victory lane in Sonoma, Calif.

Host of The Race Reporters is Michael Knight, a 40-year motorsports industry insider, and award-winning publicist and journalist. The one-hour show’s format is a “good, hard, honest, Constitutionally-protected conversation on the issues of the day.”

Joining Knight as media roundtable panelists will be Mike Harris and Lewis Franck. Harris will be retiring that same day after 30 years as motorsports writer for the Associated Press. In the show’s last segment, Knight and Harris will talk about Mike’s own important career. Franck is the longtime racing writer and current contributor for ESPN the Magazine and Reuters.

Boston’s Weekend Thunder NASCAR Radio Show to Broadcast Live from NHIS Sunday, Septmber 17










Boston, MA (PRWEB) September 15, 2006

This Sunday, September 17, Boston ’s Weekend Thunder NASCAR radio show returns to New Hampshire International Speedway.

The program, Boston’s only NASCAR show on the region’s only NASCAR station—1510 AM The Zone, will begin its pre-race programming live from the infield at 11 a.m. and will lead into the Motor Racing Network’s national coverage of the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series’ SYLVANIA 300.

New England native and stock car racing pioneer Ken Squier, owner of the No. 49 BAM racing entry Beth Ann Morgenthau, and representatives from SYLVANIA will join the pre-race show at the track.

Following the race, Weekend Thunder will return to the air with a recap of the day’s events, special guests, and a live feed to the post-race press conference in the infield media center.

“We’re really looking forward to getting back to Loudon and once again giving our listeners a taste of what the scene is like at a Nextel Cup race,” said Weekend Thunder host Bob MacKinnon. “We’ve got some great guests lined up, and their connections to New England will only make their interviews more engaging. This will also be the first time we’ve had a feed to the post-race conference so that will be a special treat.”

Ken Squier is one of the most influential personalities in NASCAR history, having coined the term “Great American Race” as a catchphrase for the Daytona 500, developed the in-car camera, and called races for CBS Sports for more than 20 years. Among his dozens of other exploits and innovations, he also owns the famous Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Barre, Vt. along with the independent WDEV Radio in Waterbury, Vt.

BAM Racing meanwhile was formed in 2001 as an ARCA/REMAX Series team before turning its attention to NASCAR racing the following season. Since then BAM has fielded cars in the Cup Series for drivers including Ken Schrader, Derrike Cope, Shawna Robinson, Ron Hornaday, Stacy Compton and others. Currently Shelburne, Vt. native Kevin Lepage pilots the team’s Dodge Chargers.

Finally, long time NHIS sponsor OSRAM SYLVANIA was recently re-upped to serve as the title sponsor for the September race at the track for another five years. Representatives from the company will stop by to discuss their connection to New England and NASCAR with the Weekend Thunder team.

In addition, the ever popular on-line fantasy race picking contest turns to Chase Mode this week as the standings reset before the start of the Chase to the Nextel Cup. Contestants must make all new picks before the drop of the green flag at New Hampshire and may do so at the all new website, http://www.ThunderCup.com.

Weekend Thunder is Boston ’s only local NASCAR show on the region’s only NASCAR station— WWZN 1510 AM The Zone. Each Sunday at 11 a.m. hosts Bob MacKinnon, Greg “Dr. Spooky” Lucas, and April Barker talk racing, take listener calls, and conduct an on-air race picking contest. They occasionally welcome guests from the racing world, and broadcast from live remotes several times a season. Troy Germain, meanwhile, hosts the Weekend Thunder post race show following The Zone’s coverage of each NASCAR Nextel Cup event.
