Bumper To Bumper IRA Outlaws Prep For Return To "The Burg"
by Joe Verdegan
(Luxemburg, WI) - The fastest machines to ever tour Luxemburg Speedway's
third-mile, clay oval will return on Sunday night, July 3. The Bumper to
Bumper IRA Outlaw sprints will compete in a full points show along with a
$1,000-to-win feature for the IMCA-style modifieds.
The outlaws last appeared at Luxemburg in 2003. "We're pretty
excited to be coming back to Luxemburg," said IRA president Steve
Sinclair. "From what we're hearing the new track configuration is
great with a bit more banking than when we were on there two years ago.
We should have a solid field of machines for that show."
Recently IRA hotshoe Mike Reinke took some hot laps in his Pit Stop
Pizza-sponsored machine. "There was certainly a lot of bite out
there," said Reinke. "I ran here in 2003 and the track was
dry. I really like what they did with the track. With
the holiday weekend we're looking to put on a great show for these fans up
here."
The modifieds will compete with the normal, weekly track rules with no
claim. A draw/redraw format will be used to lineup the feature.
A field of between 30-35 sprint cars from three states is expected.
Racing starts at 6:30. Adult admission is $16.00. Ages 13-15
get in for $8.00. 12 and under are free with a paid adult. An
autograph session will take place in the pit area from 2 p.m. to 3:45
p.m. Admission is free to the pits for that session. A nickel toss
for kids will take place at intermission and a bike will be given away to one
lucky youngster.
Luxemburg Speedway is located 15 minutes east of Green Bay off of highway 54
at the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds. For more information call 920 863
