Cedar Lake Speedway is proud to partner with Baileigh Industrial and announce a new event: the USA Nationals Best Appearing Race Car presented by Baileigh Industrial, which will be held in conjunction with the 24th Annual USA Nationals presented by U. S. Steel on Aug. 4-6.

The contest will offer cash prizes for the winning teams as well as the winning graphics designer. The winning graphic designer will also receive exposure in Late Model Illustrated Magazine and with DirtonDirt.com.

The Best Appearing car will be announced on Sat., Aug. 6, prior to the evening program that closes out the prestigious USA Nationals, a 100-lap World of Outlaws Late Model Series that boasts a $50,000 first-place prize.

"The USA Nationals is such a huge event, Baileigh wanted to deepen our involvement beyond having our demonstration trailer at the event," said James Newberg of Baileigh Industrial. "The Best Appearing event just seemed to be a great way to get more involved in the event, build our brand awareness and create a unique event for drivers and fans."

Baileigh Industrial has grown into one of the largest and most respected sources of metal fabrication and cutting machines worldwide. Baileigh will have a demonstration trailer onsite the entire race weekend of the USA Nationals for product demonstrations and questions.

"We can't wait for the USA Nationals and to see the many incredible graphic designs that will via for the inaugural title of the USA Nationals Best Appearing Race Car," Newberg added.

"Cedar Lake always strives to find new ways to make the USA Nationals more than just a race," said Cedar Lake Speedway co-owner Bob Kaufman. "We want the USA Nationals to be an experience — an event — for both the fans and the drivers. By partnering with a terrific company like Baileigh Industrial and offering this contest, it is yet another reason for fans and drivers to come and experience USA Nationals weekend."
