Thank you so much to Keith and Judy Ford. Proud my name gets to be on the list of Feature Winners at Paragon Speedway. Paragon is in my opinion, the most fun track to attend and to whip a 410 Non Wing Sprint Car in the state of Indiana. Even more fun than my second favorite Haubstat. This couldn't have been done without the Fords. In hindsight, I wish I could have done more than just buy my pitpass and race. I wish I had dontated my time and resources to help the track grow and operate, but thats just a distant thought now. I-65 didn't stop Paragon, hopefully the Ford's retiring doesn't stop the racing at Paragon either. Thanks for the memories.

Paragon holds a special place in my heart. I went there a ton growing up in the 80s and as a teen in the 90s. Keith and Judy gave me my very first shot as an announcer, just out of the blue. I cant thank them enough for it. They carved a legacy into the history of indiana non winged sprint car racing, they deserve to go out however they see fit.

I hope it stays a track with a similar format. I have been going there since the mid 80's and have seen some fantastic races. I have also been fortunate to win 9 sprintcar races at the track in my career. It is one of my favorite tracks. I look forward to running there again for my only chance this season.

Good luck to you. I sure hope someone comes in and buys it. I need to hear that obnoxious noise on Saturday nights. :-)

Keith and Judy thank you for the memories and fun on Saturday Nights. I can remember watching you and my dad compete there when I was around 5 years old to the first time I ran a wing sprintcar on Easter Sunday in the early 90's to winning the Sheldon Kinser Classic in 98. Good Luck in your next adventure. :22:

Lots of racing options available this Saturday but I'm opting for the venerable Paragon Speedway....perhaps for the final time. Thanks to the Fords for all they have done for racing in Central Indiana. Best of wishes and hoping a buyer will show up to continue the legend.

Thank you for keeping the speedway alive all this time, from back when we ran there to today you have kept a beautiful dream alive.

Enjoy a long and happy retirement

32 sprint cars here. They will run two features tonight. There are also 8 vintage sprints running a heat race and feature. 16 Super Stocks, 18 bombers and 18 front wheel drive cars. 92 total cars. Cumminham won a heat running the top and passed two cars in the last turn. Dylan Chambers looked good in same heat. Braxton Cummings won a heat. Jake Scott is here trying to win a track championship. Giddens won 4th sprint heat that they threw checkers on for taking too long.

Josh Cunningham won first feature.

Daylan Chambers over Giddens and Prather in second feature. Jake Scott was 4th and won track championship by 6 points over Prather.

Paragon Sprint Legends race in vintage sprint cars was best race of the night. Wheel to wheel action and they actually bumped each other twice. Those old guys are nuts. An old pavement sprint car driver won the 20 lap race. That tells you how rubbered over it was.

THat wasn’t a pavement car. It is a late 80’s Chalenger.

Re: Paragon Speedway Aug 11
 

In the winners circle he said he was a pavement driver and the frame looked close to the ground, so I thought it was a pavement car.

Re: Paragon Speedway Aug 11
 

Thanks Keith and Judy for running Paragon all these years. I didn't get there very often, but I always felt welcomed when I was there.

From July 2011.
