The management of Foxhill Motocross is looking for the best video to capture the thrills and excitement at Foxhill on July 27th.

Hermie Sadler officially joins TNA Wrestling, alongside Kurt Angle, Sting, Kevin Nash and Samoa Joe

Former NASCAR driver Hermie Sadler signed a “Professional Services” contract today with Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling, it was announced by the Tennessee-based company. Terms of the deal were not released.

Sadler retired from the NASCAR Nextel Cup series after the 2006 season and is now an analyst for NASCAR on SPEED and Direct TV Hot Pass, and TNA has agreed to sponsor Sadler on Direct TV’s Hot Pass. Since TNA’s inception in 2002, Sadler has wrestled in past matches, served as a guest referee and also has sat in as a TNA announcer with broadcasters Mike Tenay and Don West.

“I am a longtime pro wrestling fan and a true supporter of TNA Wrestling; I really believe in the product. It has been a lot of fun, truly an enjoyable experience working with the superstars of TNA Wrestling,” said Sadler, 38, the 1993 Busch Series Rookie of the Year. “In this new job with TNA, there are endless possibilities — both behind the scenes and in front of the camera.

In addition to NASCAR announcing, Sadler also is a weekly guest every Tuesday on the nationally-syndicated John Boy & Billy Big Show, a morning radio show which originates from Charlotte, N.C. He regularly discusses TNA storylines and superstars on the popular radio show.

In addition, Sadler appears on card No. 52 in the 100-card “TNA Impact!” trading card set, released in June by Houston-based Tristar Productions, Inc. “When it was first mentioned about having a Hermie Sadler card in our inaugural TNA Wrestling card set, it was a no-brainer; we definitely wanted to include him,” said Tristar Vice President Mandy Fuerst.

“A little-known fact about the Hermie Sadler card is, it was the absolute last card added to the set, and we’ve had as many inquiries about that card as almost any in the entire set. We’ve had a number of people asking for an authentically-signed Sadler insert card, and though there were not any included in this first set, we’re hoping to have Sadler autograph cards for the next set, which comes out this fall.”

The NASCAR scene shifts to Chicago this week as the Chicagoland 400 is slated for July 12 — and that is three months to the day from TNA Wrestling’s first-ever Chicago-area show, “Bound For Glory IV,” the company’s biggest annual pay-per-view.

TNA Wrestling presents “Bound For Glory IV” live from the Sears Centre Arena in suburban Hoffman Estates, Ill., on Sunday, Oct. 12, starting at 8 p.m. ET, and it will air worldwide exclusively on pay-per-view.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to have Hermie join the TNA Family in a more formal role,” said TNA Wrestling President Dixie Carter. “We’re excited to be coming to Chicago with ‘Bound For Glory IV,’ and though it’s still too early to talk about specifics for our October show, we plan to have Hermie involved in an integral role on the show.”

In 2002, Sadler had a feud with TNA Wrestling star Ron Killings, leading to a number of appearances and matches as part of a cross promotion between TNA and NASCAR. TNA Wrestling later sponsored Sadler’s racing efforts.

“Hermie’s enthusiasm for TNA Wrestling shines through every time he comes to the arena,” said TNA Wrestling commentator Don West. “His ability to relate what he sees in the (wrestling) ring to his NASCAR experiences is a great insight whenever he gets on the TNA broadcast.”

Cross the line to TNA Wrestling, the most innovative experience in professional wrestling today. Join Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle, “The Icon” Sting, Samoa Joe, A.J. Styles and the no-limits X-Division in the six-sided ring of “TNA iMPACT!” every Thursday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Spike TV.

TNA Entertainment, LLC is a privately held company headquartered in Nashville, Tenn.

Spike TV is available in over 96 million homes and is a division of Viacom International Inc.

After a three-year hiatus, Foxhill owner Genevieve Mather is presenting a fantastic day of motocross with the gates opening at 7:00 a.m. on Sunday, July 27th, 2008.

Foxhill is located approximately two miles southeast of Wanborough at Junction 15 off the M4. Tickets are 20 pounds for adults and 5 pounds for those 8 - 15 years old. There will be a family ticket at 40 pounds for two adults and 2 children, under the age of 15. Visit www.foxhillmotocross.com to buy tickets.

With top British riders scheduled to compete, including teams such as Molson Kawasaki Racing, Relentless Suzuki MX, and Team KTM UK, Foxhill is ready to resume its role as one of the top tracks in the world.

The Beginning of Foxhill Racing…

“Towards the end of the sixties my late husband, Jim Fairhurst, constructed a scramble course (the early name for motocross) at Shawdene, the estate near Newbury where we live,” Mrs. Mathers said. “This track became very famous, hosting numerous meets, including the world sidecar championships and the European motorbike championships. Many people still have fond memories of what was called ‘The Fox and Hounds Circuit.’”

“In the early eighties, after my mother-in-law died, we inherited the Foxhill Estate. There is a natural combe at Foxhill and Jim realized that it would make a wonderful natural track. The creation of Foxhill would lead right into his favourite hobby - bulldozing. Armed with his machine, and with professional guidance, he built the course himself. It was immediately a huge success and we had several world-class events. Unfortunately it grew rather too large too fast. In 1999, five years after Jim had died, Foxhill hosted the Motocross Des Nations (the motocross of nations) which is the ultimate International competition. It rained like hell and we had 50,000 people on the grounds. The result was absolute chaos but it gave us a good idea of what to do… and what not to do in the future.”

“We couldn’t be more pleased to get the track up and running again. We’ve poured over 30,000 pounds into improvements that will make the track the crown jewel of International Motocross once again.” We want to make this first event a big family day out. There will be a designated family picnic area with a great view, a fun fair, and a beer garden, just to name a few of the exciting family and friend attractions that will be on site.
