Yes, you can stay at the track. Not sure if there's really a certain area, but yes you can stay there. Bill is working in a few things for a little "party" after the races.

Re: Sprint cars return...

It's nice to see improvements here. Have seen some great racing there as the track layout is different from all tracks I can think of. Keep it up, hope to see more sprints/midgets there in the future. :6:

So will there be any surprises on who shows up??

Thinking about hitting this race, one of the track I have not seen a race at. By looking at the pictures, it looks similar to North Vernon.

Its going to be a hell of a show.

Stopped by there tonight to talk to bill Wagner and he's very excited. Was working the track tonight and will continue to do so all week.

I hadnt been back in a long time and went last week to see what I was walking into. Doesn't even seem like the same place. Bill Wagner has done a hell of a job along with everybody else at the track.

Myself and AJ will be there as well recording our sprint car show after the evening and before the party. Will be hopefully having the feature winner and leaders in points on as our guests.

Going to be a great night. Cannot wait.

Re: Sprint cars return...

Are hot laps going to start at 7:30 pm? Is that kinda late for this?

Re: Sprint cars return...

A little more fun info for new fans attending their first BOSS show - Driver nicknames and maybe how they got them.

#4 - "The Nati Nightmare" Michael Fischesser - from Cincinnati, Ohio
#5 - "Honey Bear" Bob McMillin - owns a honey apiary and bottles honey
#6RR - "Joltin" Joe Liguori - somebody fill me in on this one? I know Joe DiMaggio went by Joltin Joe
#32M - "The Skydiver" - Derek Hastings - from his Ocala, FL flip when he went so high, he fell straight from the sky
#57B - "The Evans City Earthmover" - Brandon Spithaler - from Evans City, PA and runs hard on the cushion moving the most dirt!
#77 - "The Hustlin Hooiser" - Dustin Smith - who was the lone representative from Hoosier state in 2012 tour and won the title

We are still working on nicknames for the others, but they have to earn them first.
