PONTIAC, MI – M1 Concourse and iHeartMedia have agreed on a strategic partnership naming 106.7 WLLZ, Detroit’s Wheels, the Gold Sponsor for M1 Concourse’s 2023 Woodward Dream Show and American Speed Festival.
"We’re excited to partner with a media organization that has national reach and local impact," said Jim Tanner, COO of M1 Concourse. "WLLZ is a prominent classic rock station in the Detroit market and a perfect fit for audiences of Woodward Dream Show and American Speed Festival."
We believe the iHeartMedia platform and suite of diversified radio stations will help us broadcast to interested and engaged audiences, likely reaching new attendees. This awareness could crossover into private event center bookings for our modern 28,000-square-foot event complex. M1 has plenty of automotive and family-friendly shows to offer on our 87-acre campus, which includes our 1.5-mile M1 Circuit.
We are excited about this new relationship and believe that our affiliation with iHeartMedia will be mutually beneficial. Please listen to iHeartMedia weekly for more information regarding the entire event schedule at M1 Concourse and be sure to visit our website to learn more about our amazing motorsports community.
The unique motorsport and entertainment facility is host to numerous major automotive events each year, including the Woodward Dream Show, MotorTrend’s Roadkill Nights, Cars Under the Stars, monthly Cars & Coffee events, M1 Cycling Classic, American Speed Festival, and the Checkered Flag Ball, a fundraiser for the Checkered Flag Challenge that deploys the M1 Mobility vans to satisfy transportation needs for Pontiac residents.
This is a place where enthusiasts keep, show, and exercise their vehicles in the company of other enthusiasts and enjoy unforgettable experiences in a social setting, not typically available to people who keep their cars at home or in a traditional storage facility.
