Greenwood, NE (April 15, 2008) – Fans and drivers alike are hoping that Mother Nature cooperates this week in order to get the opening night of the NASCAR Whelen All American series in the book at I-80 Speedway on Friday, April 25. Scheduled for the night are the Dodge NASCAR Late Models, Great Clips Modifieds and Certified Transmission Pro Ams. On Sunday, April 27 the SLMR returns to I-80 Speedway for their third appearance of the season, along with IMCA Crate Models, Great Clips Modifieds, Hobby Stocks and Sport Compacts. That Sunday night also will showcase a NAPA Hobby Stock $300 to win feature race.
“We have not been able to get the first night of the NWAAS this year due to the weather, and have had to cancel twice,” said Ed Kosiski, track promoter. “Hopefully Mother Nature will “black flag” the rain this week.”
On Friday, race fans will get a chance show their NASCAR knowledge by playing NASCAR trivia for prizes. Two lucky fans will go head to head in a battle of the brains. Ralston Dairy Queen Kids Club members will get to make autograph books before the races so they can get driver autographs.
During intermission on Sunday, fans will compete against each other in a “Fastest Firesuit Race.” Four fans will get to dress themselves in a firesuit, compete in a foot race and get out of the suit. The fastest fan will win a prize. Plus two lucky Kids Club members will get a chance to award the trophies to the feature winners for the night.
The Friday show is slated to get under way at 7:00 pm with hot laps at 6:30 pm. The pit gate opens at 4pm and the grandstands open at 5:30 pm. Ticket prices for Friday are $8 for adults, $5 for juniors 13-18, $1 for kids 5-12, and under 5 are free.
Racing on Sunday is slated to start at 5:55 p.m., with hot laps at 5:30 p.m. Pit Gates open at 2:30 p.m. and front gate open at 4:30 p.m. Ticket prices are $8 for adults, $5 for juniors 13-18 with ID, $1 for kids 5-12 and kids under 5 are free.
