Team Kalitta fans that will be attending the races in Norwalk are asked to create a poster, at least 16" X 20", that contains the phrase "ROCKY Rocks!". The first 25 race fans on both Friday and Saturday, June 26 and 27, that bring their poster by the Kalitta Motorsports pit area at Summit Motorsports Park will receive an exclusive ROCKY/Team Kalitta cap.

The more creative the design, the better, as the creator of the poster decorated the best will receive the "ROCKY Rocks!" Grand Prize; to join Team Kalitta as an honorary crew member of the day for Sunday's eliminations. (Hint: Use of the ROCKY logo and the Kalitta Motorsports logo is highly recommended).
