I Mel Botkin, leased and took over as director of operations for Gas City I-69 Speedway in January, and I would like to introduce myself and my background. I taught elementary school in Muncie, Indiana, for 36 years coaching most sports. I officiated high school basketball for 38 years, was President of the Selma Little League in Selma, Indiana, for 13 years, and have owned and operated Botkin Trophies for the past 52 years. In addition, I raced go carts for 6 years owned and operated the Winchester Moto-X track for 4 years and owned the 3M Pak-A-Sak sprint car driven by John Wolf that raced at Gas City for 8 years (winning 3 track championships). In 2002 the track was chosen as the number one 1/4 mile dirt bull ring track in the nation. Jiggs Thomoson was chosen the promoter that year. I was elected to the Delware County council in 2003 for a 4 year term. Presently, my wife, Linda, and I do missionary work in Jamaica.
