San Manuel aims to set world record

San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino is aiming to reclaim its title as the world's largest bingo house this Sunday at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana.

San Manuel will host a Bingo 500 Race to the Record event that will take place during the Pepsi 500 race. Tens of thousands of NASCAR fans are expected to be in attendance during the Labor Day weekend race.

During the race, San Manuel will turn the Speedway into an open air bingo hall. Participants will receive a bingo card, and the game will be called between races. All winning cards will be entered into a random drawing, where $20,000 in cash prizes will be awarded, according to a San Manuel news release.

San Manuel first gained the coveted "World's Largest Bingo House" title in July 2006, when more than 53,000 people participated in its bingo bash at Dodger Stadium.

"We're all fired up about our upcoming record breaking, and we're ready to put the pedal to the medal," said Steve Lengel, executive director of operation for San Maniel Indian Bingo & Casino.
