FREMONT, Ohio (Sunday, May 20, 2007) - What tire to pick? How do I adjust
the engine and car?
Those are the main questions teams in the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints
will be asking at Fremont Speedway Saturday, May 26.
"In the 1960s and 1970s, special races at Fremont Speedway used to feature
50, 75 and even 100 lap main events. To celebrate our 56th year of racing,
we want to rekindle that spirit with the 50-lap challenge," said Fremont
Speedway Promoter Jim Ford.
KOT Trucking and Crown Battery will present the 50-Lap Challenge I, paying
the winner $5,000! Not only will the feature event by 50-laps, but it offers
an increased payoff of:: $5,000, 2500, 1700, 1400, 1300, 1200, 1150 ,1100
,1050 ,1000 ,900 ,800 ,700 ,600 ,500 ,450 ,400 ,400 ,400 ,400.
Many older race fans can remember the special races like the Australian
Pursuit. Well, on May 26, that race will return to "The Track That Action
Built for the Don Eckhardt Memorial Australian Pursuit. The race will
feature the traditional single file start with the "if you're passed you're
out" format.
The Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints and Fremont Fence Dirt Trucks
are also on the racing card. Thanks to associate sponsorship from Excuse's
Lounge of Sandusky, all of the trucks will run a feature Saturday, May 26,
as they will be split into two complete fields - those in 1st, 3rd, 5th,
etc. in the points will run in one feature, even in points in another.
And for the kids. the Tackle Box II will give away 10 bikes for those
youngsters 10 and under!
Admission for Saturday, May 26 is $17 for adults; $15 for senior citizens
and teens ages 11-16 will get in for $9 (10 and under free as always).
