I didn't expect to wake up today and find out some potential HUGE news for a few tracks in the area.
We all know that 201 Speedway is hosting a Lucas Oil series event next year on July 5th, however if you've kept up with 201's Facebook and Twitter, you also likely knew that more big news was coming and today on their Twitter they hinted at potential huge news being announced in the coming days for Friday, May 16th.
I have been informed that it is a $10,000 to win late model race and I know what series it is. You can likely guess pretty easily, but I told that I wouldn't spoil the surprise and leave that to 201.
It is another huge race for 201 Speedway, who is becoming the premier super late model racing track in Kentucky.
The other bit of information I learned today was that the old Salyersville Speedway in Magoffin County would be reopening for next year. I was told that they're already working to get the track opened next spring. Not sure on what divisions they'll be racing, but I'm guessing they'll be running on Friday nights.
If that rumor is true, then you'll now have 191, 201, Lucky 7, Mountain Motor, Salyersville, and Willard all racing weekly next year within a few hours of each other.
This many tracks could potentially hurt other tracks. Hopefully it doesn't, but dirt track racing is an expensive hobby and prices for all things dirt racing keep rising in these tough economic times.
If you're interested in some dirt racing this weekend in the area, then Willard Speedway plans on racing this Friday night. Check out their Facebook page for more information.
That's it for now.
