LaCrosse Sets Oktoberfest And Opening Dates
(West Salem, WI.) The 2006 NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series season will roar
to life on Saturday night April 15th at the LaCrosse Fairgrounds
Speedway. Speedway Officials are preparing for another year of topnotch
racing action and have added some exciting new events to the schedule.
"Like many race fans, we are anxiously awaiting the first night of
competition” stated speedway Operations Director Dave Noelke. "We
expect to see some very tight competition in all five of our divisions,
including our new division, “Tuners”. In addition, we have
also improved our schedule by adding a fan favorite event (the CRASH-O-RAMA,
in May) and three Street Drag events”. According to Noelke,
the race fans are in for a heck of a battle for all five track
championships. “With the level of competition and favorable car
counts, the caliber of racing action will be intense from the first green flag
on April 15 until the last regular event on September 2nd”.
The Saturday night race card will again see the Kwik Trip NASCAR Late Models,
Ray Hutson Chevrolet Grand National Sportsman and United Auto Supply
Thunderstox. In addition to the speedway’s three main divisions, fans
will be treated each race night with one of the popular Thunderstox novelty
events or the Features Sports Bar & Grill Hornet division. On
selected nights, the speedway’s newest division, the “Tuners” will also
be in action. The Tuners are front wheel drive six-cylinder cars
that are similar to the Thunderstox. In addition to the Tuners, the
speedway will schedule three “Street Drag” events. “At the
request of several local car clubs and fans, we also plan on hosting “Street
Drags” commented Noelke. The Street Drags are typical drag
races, held on the front stretch and pit road of the speedway, however all
cars must be street legal and driven to the speedway. “Street Drags
are very popular at other speedways and this style of racing is now working
its way into the Midwest” added Noelke.
The 2006 schedule will include many of the favored traditional special events,
including the Fair Time 50 on July 15, the Trailer Race of Destruction on July
29, the Labor Day 100 on Sept. 2nd, Eve of Destruction Sept. 9 and the
historic Oktoberfest Race Weekend - Oct 5-6-7-8.
Racing will begin at 7:15 for the Saturday night programs and qualifying is
slated at 5:45 PM. For more information about the 2006 racing season
