The official ribbon-cutting and “Grand Opening” of the new Kurt Busch Superdome at the Victory Junction Gang Camp is set for Tuesday, May 20 at 2:00pm/et. “It is a day that we’ve been looking forward to for almost two years now,” said Busch. “When we made the announcement of the original endowment for this project back in May of 2006, we envisioned the construction of a multi-purpose building that we would all be proud of. That is certainly the case in that we now have an indoor sports facility with a climate-controlled environment that the kids will utilize and enjoy for many years to come. The Kurt Busch Superdome is a 15,000-square-foot climate-controlled gymnasium, complete with scoreboard, bleachers and a specialty floor that can accommodate wheel chairs. It offers a completely allergy-free environment. Busch announced the formation of his foundation on May, 19, 2006, at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. Kyle and Pattie Petty joined Busch at the announcement to discuss details of the Superdome, the Kurt Busch Foundation’s initial project. The Las Vegas native pledged that day the first $1 million toward the construction of the camp’s new gymnasium. Several entertainment and sports figures are expected to attend Tuesday’s “Grand Opening” including members of the Carolina Panthers and Ryan Newman. Members of the Petty Family, representatives of the Richard Petty Driving Experience as well as the team mascots from the Charlotte Bobcats, Carolina Panthers, Charlotte Knights and Kannapolis Intimidators are also expected to be in attendance.(TRPR)(5-19-2008)
