RENO, Nev. (AP) -- Nevada's state tourism commission has agreed to a $600,000 sponsorship of the National Championship Air Races to make sure the 49th annual competition goes forward in Reno in September.
Commissioners voted unanimously Thursday in support of the money that air race organizers said they needed to make a final insurance payment. The insurance premium jumped from $300,000 to $2 million after last year's tragic crash killed 11 people and injured more than 70.
Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki, who chairs the tourism commission, said they'll negotiate details of the sponsorship in the coming weeks.
Krolicki said the air races are important not only to northern Nevada but the entire state. He said they create a significant economic impact and generate worldwide exposure of the region.
