Visitors of Tulsa Auto Show will be the first to see the Haney team's 2012 Camaro race cars!

Racing fans eager for a first glimpse at the new 2012 Chevy Camaro racing body need to look no further than the Tulsa International Auto Show, running March 15-18 at QuikTrip Center.

A pair of brand-new Performance Auto Camaros will be on display at the show thanks to driver/owner Keith Haney, car owner John Woods and driver Monroe Guest. The first will be featured in the Chevrolet display and the second will be the centerpiece of the Tulsa Raceway Park booth.

"We're so excited to be racing these cars this year and we can’t wait for the fans to see them," Haney said. "We want to generate a lot of excitement for our ADRL racing season, which starts at the end of the month."

A local resident who owns Classic Chevrolet, Haney said giving the Tulsa show attendees the honor of seeing his new race cars first was an easy choice to make.

"I'm an Oklahoma guy and an Oklahoma businessman," Haney said. "I wanted to give fans of the show a taste of the excitement that both the Chevy brand and Tulsa Raceway Park are offering in 2012."

Chevrolet and TRP are both close to Haney's heart. Haney has been a longtime Chevy dealer in the state of Oklahoma.

"Chevy is going to have its regular lineup of outstanding products at the show," Haney said. "Chevrolet has some of the safest cars on the road such as the Sonic and Camaro. The booth will have information about all of Chevy's great cars."

Over the winter Haney partnered with local businessman Todd Martin to keep Tulsa Raceway Park from being shuttered forever.

"We're excited about the events we've got planned for the track this year," Haney said. "We've got a huge opening weekend planned for the end of the month. I know a lot of racers are going to be at the show, so I'm hoping that seeing our cars will get their blood pumping and they'll get signed up to race all summer long."

The Tulsa International Auto Show gets under way at 2 p.m. Thursday at QuikTrip Center. Doors open at 2 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. Sunday. The show closes at 10 p.m. each night, except Sunday when it closes at 6 p.m. Admission is $8 a day with children 12 and under admitted free with a parent.

The latest from Haney Racing!


Greetings, speed freaks! Haney Racing is keeping up the pace this race season with some news for you. Get your calendars ready to mark down that the Tulsa International Auto Show is coming to town March 15-18th at the Quik Trip Center; located on the Tulsa County Fairgrounds. Feel free to bring out the wife (or for you lady speed freaks, bring out the husband) and the kids to take a look at where the auto industry is headed. Turn it into a scavenger hunt for the kids (or just your buddies) to see who can land the most car company swag, posters, and brochures! While you’re checking all the newest rides of each of the car companies this year, you better make sure to set aside some time to make your way over to the Chevrolet display area. Whether it’s heavy duty trucks, something to tote the family around in, or environmentally-friendly cruising in Chevy’s all-new electric Spark, the 2012 Chevrolet display is sure to wow the crowds this year. In addition to showing off Chevy’s best, be sure to check out the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Pro Modified Drag Racing Car that will be on display; but please, do your best to keep the drooling to a minimum or else they have to pay for additional janitorial services. This screaming-fast Camaro, along with its sister Camaro Pro Nitros Drag Racing Car will compete along with the full American Drag Racing League (ADRL), racing 10-race season all around this great country of ours’ this year. If you’re in the mood for a road trip, the season opener this year will be down south at the Royal Purple Raceway, just outside of Houston, TX. These two muscle machines were built and are being driven by the previous National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Oklahoma Champions. That’s right; there are Okies behind the wheel and the wrenches of these lightning-fast Chevy beauties! So, be sure and mark your calendars for March 15th through the 18th to make a day (or a couple days) of ogling over the latest cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and all the other displays at the Tulsa International Auto Show. While you’re there, bring the family by the Chevrolet display to see the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Pro Modified Drag Racing car; a beast that is sure to tear up the drag strips up all over the country this racing season.
