JAMES RIVER, NS (July 16, 2012) - The sixth edition of the IWK 250 Presented by Steve Lewis Auto Body is this coming weekend and the stage is set to make it a memorable one. The super weekend opens Thursday with the Richard Petty Driving Experience, then continues Friday with the Highland Home Building Centre 100 for the Napa Sportsman Series, and then culminates Saturday with the IWK 250.

NASCAR's Joey Logano has been named as the celebrity driver of this year's Cat Car for Kids in the IWK 250 presented by Steve Lewis Auto Body at Riverside International Speedway on July 21. Logano, nicknamed "Sliced Bread" - as in the best thing since..., is best-known as driver of the No. 20 Home Depot/Dollar General Toyota in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, a seat he's held since 2009 when he won the Rookie of the Year title in NASCAR's premier series. He also competes part-time on NASCAR's Nationwide Series driving the No. 20 Toyota. Both cars are fielded for Logano by Joe Gibbs Racing. He is currently 13th in Sprint Cup Series point standings after seven events; he has one Sprint Cup Series win on his resume along with 10 Nationwide Series victories. Logano is the youngest driver to ever win in both the Sprint Cup and Nationwide series.
