Drivers, Fans to Enjoy New Surface at Lebanon I-44 Speedway
(Lebanon) The 2007 racing season at the Lebanon I-44 Speedway will
kick off this Saturday night, and both drivers and fans alike should
enjoy even faster racing with track improvements that took place over
the winter.
Track owner Randy Mooneyham laid down red clay in the off season, and
the new surface already proved effective at last Saturday's open
practice. Cars from all classes were able to run side-by-side and run
the low line around the enitre 3/8-Mile high banked dirt track. The
weather was beautiful last Saturday night, and the forecast calls for
similar weather this Saturday.
Drivers will compete in seven classes this Saturday night: Late Model,
Modified, Factory Stock, Bomber, B-Modified, Rookie and Pro-4.
Mooneyham expects to see at least 20 cars entered for competition for
each class. Fans will be able to cheer for their favorite local
drivers like Brad Looney, Darryl Mooneyham, and Brandon McCormick
drive their Late Models neck-and-neck, while Jimmy Willis, Jeff
Cutshaw, and Justin Newman will fiercely compete in the Modified
division.
The 2007 season will mark the 25th year for the Lebanon I-44 Speedway,
that will feature upcoming special events like the WOW Sprints on
April 21st, and Ken Schrader Night with the World of Outlaw Late
Models and MARS Late Models on July 3rd.
Weekly racing is every Saturday night at the Lebanon I-44 Speedway.
Grandstand admission for Adults is $10 and children 11 and under are
free, while admission to the Wildside is $12 for Adults, and children
11 and under are free. Gates open at 5PM, with Hot Laps at 6:45PM,
and racing starting at 7:30PM.
