Racing at Attica Raceway Park will melt away winter blues.
ATTICA, Ohio - Attica Raceway Park has the cure for the winter blues -
mudslinging, exciting, spills and thrills of dirt track racing!
The drivers, teams and staff at "Ohio's Finest Racing" venue are ready to
"kick the tires and light the fires" on Attica's 20th anniversary season
that opens Friday, March 21, as HD Supply Night features 410 sprints, 305
sprints and Attica Late Models. And if Mother Nature won't cooperate, there
is a rain date of Saturday, March 22.
"We're excited about our 20th anniversary season. I want to thank the fans
and race teams for all of their support the first two years I've had the
privilege of promoting this race track," said John Bores, Attica Raceway
Park promoter.
"The 2008 schedule looks to be one of the most exciting and well-rounded in
the track's prestigious history," added Rex LeJeune, ARP Director of
Operations.
The great weekly racing featuring the 410 sprints paying $2,500 to win,
along with the 305 sprints, Attica Late Models and dirt trucks makes
Attica's purse of over $23,000 one of the best in the United States.
"Then add in the Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprints, the World of
Outlaws Late Models, plus three appearances of the O'Reilly All Star Circuit
of Champion sprints and two events with the Sunoco American Late
Models...we're paying out over $500,000 A-main prize money in 2008. Attica
is the place to be on Friday nights!" added LeJeune.
"The weekly general admission and pit pass prices will remain the same as
2007. This will allow our fans and race teams the opportunity to see and
participate in some of the best, exciting entertainment in the area at a
reasonable price," said Bores.
Several improvements have been made at ARP since the checkered flag flew on
the last event in September. Restrooms and other buildings have been spruced
up, stone has been put down to make the pit area more comfortable, and
wind-breakers have been installed on the back of the skyboxes.
"We graded the track and added over 100 loads of dirt. The track is wider
which should allow for more side-by-side racing," added Bores.
It's time to chase away those winter blahs....race season is at hand. Come
and enjoy a great family night at Attica Raceway Park. Treat yourself to
good food and sit back and enjoy the great, exciting racing in a
family-oriented atmosphere.
"We work hard to ensure our fans have fun while they are here. We will have
autograph Frisbees and t-shirts being thrown in the stands along with lucky
fans getting rides in the official pace track and push vehicle and a whole
lot more," said LeJeune. "We're also planning several opportunities for all
the fans to visit the pit area and get autographs and pictures with their
favorite drivers."
