Elko Speedway Announces “User Friendly” 2005 Schedule
(Elko, MN) Elko Speedway officials have released a tentative 2005 season
schedule designed to allow competitors, crews and fans alike some “family
downtime”. The schedule includes two weekends where the four major
speedway divisions will not compete.
The schedule also accommodates special activities and nights to celebrate the
40th year the track has been in operation. Highlighting the celebration
will be a special visit to the track by NASCAR Legends Bobby Allison and Ned
Jarrett on May 21. The track will also take time to salute all of the
former greats who have competed at the track over the first 40 years.
Plans are being formulated to host another NEXTEL Cup Drivers Night. The
speedway hosted stars Bill Elliott, Sterling Marlin, Greg Biffle, Kenny
Wallace and Travis Kvapil in 2004.
The ACDelco Super Summer Series will return in 2005. The three night
series featuring twin 40 lap features for the Super Late Models was very
successful in its inaugural year and officials are looking to grow the series
into a premier event in Midwest racing circles.
A four race Challenge Series has been added to the schedule featuring the Elko
Sportsmen and the Mid American Stock Car Series. Separate points will be
awarded within the four races with the over-all champion receiving a trip for
two to the 2006 Daytona 500.
Speedway officials have also included the four popular Eve of Destruction
nights. However, unlike the past, two of the four “Eve’s” are set
for Saturday nights.
The season kicks off on Saturday, April 23rd with the all new Enduromania
240. The enduro will feature two divisions including full size enduro
cars and a separate Hornet enduro. The schedule calls for the season to
conclude with the 2nd Annual Thunder Car Nationals on Saturday, October 1st.
