Luxemburg Speedway Ready For Opener
(Luxemburg, WI) - Track officials from Luxemburg Speedway are busy preparing
for the season opening stock car race on Friday night, April 30 for KICKS
104.9 FM night.
2005 will mark the fourth season that Lakeshore Promotions has headed up the
weekly, Friday night program at the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds. Racing
on the third-mile, clay oval begins at 7 p.m.
Drivers will have a new surface to race in this year. Recently more than
7000 yards of clay was added to the track. The surface features a much
steeper banking and wider corners. Additional speakers have been added
in the pit area and in the grandstand as well. A new souvenir trailer
will sell racing-related merchandise underneath the grandstand.
IMCA modifieds, stock cars, hobby stocks and sport fours will compete
weekly. The track's new division, the Lady 4's, will race every other
week beginning opening night.
Nearly 100 drivers representing nine different divisions took part in an open
practice session at the track on April 23.
2004 IMCA mod champion Scott Mullen of Seymour has indicated he will race
"three-fourths" of the regular season, which could put that title up
for grabs. Kewaunee's Shawn Kilgore has a new car at his disposal for to
defend his stock car championship. Fellow Kewaunee driver Keith Kickbush
will attempt to win his third hobby stock crown in a row, while hometown
driver Tyler Smith will defend his sport four crown.

divisions competing throughout the season. A pair of Wisconsin Dirt Late
Model Association (WDLMA) will be run, as well as the return of the Bumper to
