SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- The Hampton Inn on N. Scottsdale Road, in Tempe, Ariz. will host the the Levi, Ray & Shoup Shelby Mustang Funny Car team, while also joining the organization as an official sponsor, during this weekend's Lucas Oil Slick Mist NHRA Nationals at Firebird Int'l Raceway near Phoenix.

In conjunction with the program, the Hampton Inn - Tempe will also offer a special rate for race fans during the weekend, providing a 20-percent discount off regular prices for fans who request the "NHRA rate" when making reservations directly with the hotel. Standard rooms will be discounted to $115 per day for the race weekend, while suites are discounted to $135 per day.

"There's just about nothing better, in this business, than finding a win/win situation, and we're very happy to welcome the Hampton Inn in Tempe to our organization this weekend," said Tim Wilkerson, owner, driver, and tuner of the Levi, Ray & Shoup Shelby Mustang Funny Car. "Having the Hampton Inn as part of our program for the Phoenix race is a direct benefit to our team, and they believe an association with us will benefit them, so we're all excited to partner up this weekend and have a big race. It's a great hotel, and it's located in a prime area, so NHRA fans should highly consider the Tempe Hampton Inn, any time they're in the Phoenix area."

The Hampton Inn is located at 1429 N. Scottsdale Road, just north of Loop 202 and Arizona State University. For reservations, call (480) 675-9799.
