ASCS Showdown at I-80 Rescheduled
GREENWOOD, Neb. (April 9, 2008) – The 2008 Spring Showdown featuring the
American Sprint Car Series Midwest vs. Northern Plains Region two-night card
scheduled for Friday and Saturday, April 11 and 12, at Nebraska Raceway Park's
I-80 Speedway has been rescheduled for Friday, April 18. The Saturday portion
of the card will not be rescheduled.
“With the amount of precipitation we have had, combined with the forecasted
rain and snow, we felt it would be best to reschedule our show so the drivers
and fans would know before the weekend arrived,” said track promoter Ed
Kosiski.
“Many of the ASCS Northern Plains region drivers come from North Dakota and
Minnesota, and they are forecasted to receive up to 8 inches of snow, making
travel for them difficult,” added Kosiski. “In addition, the lows
forecasted for those race dates would not be good for the engines or comfortable for
our fans.”
The rescheduled Friday show is slated to get under way at 7:00 p.m. with hot
laps at 6:30 p.m. The pit gate opens at 4 p.m. and the grandstands open at
5:30 p.m. Tickets prices are $13 for adults, $8 for juniors 13-18, $2 for
kids 5-12, and under 5 are free. Pit passes are $20 for ASCS Members, and $25
for non-members.
Nebraska Raceway Park's I-80 Speedway is located in Greenwood, NE, between
Lincoln and Omaha off I-80 Exit 420, then 0.4 mile north on SR 63 then west.
