"HOT FOOT" JASON MEYERS RAINED OUT AT TRI-STATE SPEEDWAY
WoO Benevolent Fund Golf Outing Announced; Reserve Your Spot Today!
CLOVIS, Calif. (April 20, 2008) - Waking up to earthquakes and sunny skies on Friday morning, the state of Indiana, along with the World of Outlaws (WoO), was looking forward to a great weekend of racing. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other ideas yet again. Clovis, California native Jason Meyers arrived in Indiana on Friday night, waking up with the full intentions of racing at Tri-State Speedway, a tight, fast, high-banked ¼ mile track located near Evansville, Ind.
RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY; COME AGAIN ON A NON-RACEDAY
With rain falling all night Friday night and into Saturday morning, track promoter Tommy Helfrich, known as one of the best track preparation men in the country, knew he may have been up against a little too much Mother Nature. Track officials and WoO officials made the mutual decision to postpone the event to July 6th.
"It's disappointing, that's for sure," said Meyers. "After our last outing (at Eldora Speedway) we were looking forward to coming out here tonight and getting ourselves back into the swing of things, not to mention, we really enjoy racing here."
WoO BENEVOLENT FUND CHARITY GOLF OUTING ANNOUNCED
(from Tony Veneziano)
The second annual World of Outlaws Benevolent Fund Golf Outing is set for July 10 at Meadowbrook Country Club in Dayton, Ohio.
The cost of the outing will be $100 for participants, with golfers being paired with an Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series driver. Each driver participating will be part of the group for the entire 18 holes. The format will be a best-ball scramble, with a lottery-style draw being used to determine who each player will play with. The entry deadline for those who will be golfing is June 15.
For golfers, the entry fee will also cover a dinner to be held after the outing, as well as gifts that each participant will receive. All proceeds will go to the World of Outlaws Benevolent Fund to help continue the dedicated work that they do for the sport.
The World of Outlaws Benevolent Fund has been helping injured drivers and their families during the recovery process for over 25 years.
A silent auction will take place during the dinner as well, with various items from Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series drivers available for bidding. For those who cannot make it to the golf portion of the day, tickets for the dinner are $40. The check-in for golfers will begin at Noon Eastern, with a shotgun start slated for 1 p.m. with dinner to follow at 6 p.m.
