The goal is to set the World Land Speed Record for NASCAR class cars with local El Pasoan Christy Georges as the driver. She has been racing cars for 22 years and competed in 70 races last year. Local businessman Gregg Jackson is providing a Super Speedway NASCAR purchased from A.J. Foyt for this attempt.

Media publicity begins August 6, 2007. Mayor John Cook will also attend the Car Signing Party at Barnett Harley Davidson on Thursday, September 6 and pose for poster photos with business sponsors and the car. The race will take place at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah beginning September 10 and ending September 15. 

There are only 40 spots for sponsor names on the car.
