WoO Late Models Invade Deer Creek Speedway For Two Shows
Officials from Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, MN and DIRT Motorsports
are excited to announce that the World of Outlaw Late Model Series will invade
the high-banked speedplant for two shows in 2006.
On Thursday, June 1st the WoO Late Model series drivers will do battle at Deer
Creek Speedway for the 27th Annual Featherlite Gopher 50 Charity Late Model
Race. The annual show is being promoted by Deer Creek Speedway in
conjunction with the Blooming Prairie Lions. The $10,000 to win show saw
great racing action at the speedway in 2005 as the race was held at Deer Creek
Speedway for the first time in it’s 26 years of competition. “The
Gopher 50 was second to none” states Dean Miracle, race director for the
World of Outlaw Late Models “we are looking forward to getting back to Deer
Creek.” Darrel Lanigan came home with the victory in the late model division
while Canadian Steve Arpin took home the $1,000 first place prize in the USRA
modified feature event. An exciting 3-year sponsorship package has been
reached with Featherlite to retain the Gopher 50 at Deer Creek Speedway thru
the 2008 season. A rain date for this event has been scheduled for
Friday, June 2nd.
Negotiations continued as DIRT Motorsports approached the Queensland Family
with an event that would present the largest late model payout in the
Speedway’s ten years of operation. This two-day event will be held on
July 28th and 29th in which each day will be a complete show. “Two day
shows are great for the race fans in the area, it allows them to see two full
features rather than just one and the drivers get a better chance to get a
bite of the apple” commented Miracle. Additional classes, payout,
ticket information and more will be released as details progress.
The SPEED Channel will cover both of these high-powered events, as TV Crews
will surround the Speedway to capture history in the making.
