Item 8.01 Other Events

 

HD Partners Acquisition Corporation (“the Company”) today held its Special Meeting of Stockholders to vote on the proposed acquisition by the Company of the professional racing assets of the National Hot Rod Association. At the Special Meeting, the acquisition proposal was not approved by the Company’s stockholders. Pursuant to its charter and the terms of its initial public offering, the Company is not permitted to pursue any other transactions; the Company will shortly begin the process of liquidating and dissolving itself in accordance with its charter and applicable law. As a result, it expects that the amounts held in its trust account, together with interest (net of applicable taxes), will be returned to the Company’s public stockholders. No payments will be made in respect of the Company’s outstanding warrants or to any of its initial stockholders with respect to the shares owned by them prior to the initial public offering. The Company intends to prepare and mail to its stockholders a proxy statement seeking approval to effect the liquidation and dissolution.  The Company will proceed to liquidate and stockholders will not need to tender their shares of stock to the transfer agent until the plan of liquidation is approved by the Company and its stockholders.

 

A copy of the Company’s press release dated January 31, 2008 is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
