By: Natasha Fabian

August 11, 2003 (Columbus, WI) – Seven divisions will take on Columbus 151 Speedway Friday night, August fifteenth for a night of action packed racing.

Andy Tomlinson will strive to maintain his point led over Dean Schultz in the Late Model division, and the extremely competitive Street Stocks will race door-to-door around the quarter-mile asphalt track in their segment of the program. Jason Finnegan will need to do all he can to stay on top of the Hobby Stock Rookie standings, as six other rookies are close behind him overall.

The popular four-cylinder Bandit class will be back, and no one knows which direction they will go around the track until they roll off the pit ramp. Rick Verdon has tough competition in the Backup class; the world's only division that races over their shoulders. In addition, the Formula Indy Racing Association will be back with its wicked-fast Indy style cars.

Making their debut at Columbus 151 Speedway will be the Modified division, composed of IMCA/Midwest Modified style cars from Madison, Slinger, Dodge County Fairgrounds and the Raceway at Powercom Park. After the program will be the Voit Concrete Bubble Races. There will also be a Gauntlet race and Bubble Blowing Competition.

For this spectacular event, there is no increase in admission. Adults are a fan-friendly $8.00, seniors and students just $6.00, ages 6-10 $2.00, and ages five and under are free. Friday time trials are at 6:30 p.m. with racing to begin at 8:00 p.m. Columbus 151 Speedway is located just off Highway 151 between Sun Prairie and Columbus on exit 111 (Hwy V) to Kraus Road.
