Following the increasing momentum of continuing the motorsports legacy in Palm Beach County, Madelyn Marconi will host a “State of Motorsports in Palm Beach County” community event on Monday, Aug. 12.
The event will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Riviera Beach Marina Event Center (190 E. 13th Street, Riviera Beach) and will update the motorsports community on the status of the project proposed by Palm Beach County at 20-Mile Bend, following the closure of the Palm Beach International Raceway.
The event will include a panel discussion featuring “Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings” racecar driver Paige Coughlin; NHRA Southeast Division Director Cody Savage; former Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office lieutenant and “Beat the Heat” Director Rey Alonso; and iconic NHRA announcer and radio host Joe Castello.
This grassroots event is responding to the county’s call for help developing a new motorsports facility in Palm Beach County. The presentation will highlight the benefits this motorsports facility will have on the county, including positive economic impact, an increase in tourism and diverse job creation.
Marconi and the panel speakers will be available for interviews at the Riviera Beach Marina Event Center from 5 to 6 p.m. prior to the event. Contact Marconi at (561) 398-4320 for more information.
