Tomorrow night kicks off the dirt racing year at 201 Speedway, as the Old Man's Garage Ray Cook Spring Nationals will invade Sitka, KY. Traveling drivers like Eddie Carrier Jr (Last years winner), Steve Casebolt, Justin Ratliff, Chub Frank, Billy Ogle Jr, Michael Chilton, Casey Roberts, Gregg Satterlee, and many more will be there. Local favorites like Jackie Boggs, Michael Wright, Derek Fisher, Chris Combs, Michael Wright, RJ Conley, Rod Conley, etc will too be there.
The series mostly races in Tennessee, but it will be touring the Bluegrass this weekend, as it not only makes a stop at 201 tomorrow, but Ponderosa on Friday for $4000, and Florence on Saturday for the Spring 50 paying $5000.
Mike Marlar is the current points leader, followed by Billy Ogle Jr, Stacy Boles, Michael Chilton, and Casey Roberts.
Marlar will not be racing at 201 or Florence though, he'll only be at Ponderosa on Friday. I'm not too sure of the reasoning, but I do know that he's said numerous times over the past few months that he planned on spending more time at home this year.
201 Speedway's Facebook page says that the drivers meeting will begin at 6 PM tomorrow with hot laps following. Admission prices will be $20 for general admission - $35 for pits - Kids 5 & under free.
