Jason Meyers to Run Nine Racing Entry at Chili Bowl
World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series driver Jason Meyers announced today that he has signed with renowned car owner Steve Lewis to race the no.9 (9J) Midget entry in the 24th Annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals. The no. 9, owned by Steve Lewis, with Jason Meyers piloting is scheduled to compete Friday night at the Midget Nationals which will take place on January 12-16, 2010 in Tulsa, Okla., at the Tulsa Expo Raceway.
Another One Bites the Dust
Video: State Fair Speedway to close after 55 years
NewsOK.com is reporting that State Fair Speedway in Oklahoma City is closing after 55 years of racing.
It seems the track’s downfall is nearly $400,000 worth of electrical repairs that must be made in order for the facility to re-open.
Oklahoma has a rich sprint car heritage, it’s a real shame to see another historic dirt track venue close its doors.
2010 Tentative ASCS Midwest Schedule
I came across the first copy of the ASCS Midwest’s 2010 schedule today. Not sure how much it will change from now until the season starts, but it gives you a pretty good idea on what to expect.
One interesting note, I-80 Speedway has scheduled a two-day ASCS MW vs Northern Plains show for Friday and Saturday, April 9-10. This is in direct conflict with Eagle’s planned open house and Ice Breaker Challenge.
Bull Ring Confusion
Last year it was called Twas The Midgets Before Christmas. For 2010 the 
Kemper Arena midget show in Kansas City is called The Bull Ring Midget Nationals.
I’ll admit that the “Twas The Midgets…” name was unique, but probably a little awkward for an event title. The Bull Ring is a bit more traditional for a race name and a little less of a mouthful.
Adios Eagle
The 2010 Eagle Raceway schedule was announced yesterday. The schedule features a two-day ASCS Sprints Car Dirt Series (ASCS National) stop on June 11-12. Add to that the re-energized Nebraska Cup on September 12, running under an ASCS Midwest/Northern Plains banner, and you have three solid nights of racing.
Unfortunately, aside from those three nights Eagle’s schedule is completely forgettable.
Attention Internet Explorer Users
I’ve noticed that the RH tool bar isn’t showing up on your screen. We’ll get that corrected ASAP.
Knoxville Raceway 2010 Schedule
Sprint cars, and only sprint cars on a weekly basis. I am a big fan of this concept.
2010 Eagle Raceway Schedule
Eagle Raceway starts its 2010 campaign with an open house night on April 9, followed by the Ice Breaker Challenge on April 10.
Eagle has added yet another class of cars in 2010, with the B mods joining the established program of sprints, modifieds, hobby stocks and sport compacts.
Two classes of mods? FIVE total classes? Well, looks like I’ll spend a grand total of four nights at Eagle next summer.
The Eagle Nationals, historically a World of Outlaws show, has been switched to a National ASCS show for 2010. The Nebraska Cup will be a sanctioned ASCS Midwest/Northern Plains race.
File This Under “Bad News”
The future of State Fair Speedway in Oklahoma City is in jeopardy. As of right now, the 2010 race season has been canceled unless some type of “electrical problem” can be resolved.
Even if they are able to run in 2010, it will be the track’s final season.
