And if that isn’t enough, it’s also “47025 Zip Code Night!” Any 47025 zip code resident who presents a valid driver license at the front gate will receive FREE general admission — for your kids too!

The Kelsey Chevrolet Sprints, Budweiser UMP Modifieds, Impact Sports Pure Stocks, and the Bessler’s U Pull & Save Hornets will be competing Saturday with racing scheduled to begin at 7:00 pm. This event will feature the standard Lawrenceburg payout of $1,500 to win and $225 to start the sprint feature, $100 tow money to all sprints that do not start the feature, and the “Grasshopper Award” – a $63 cash prize to the sprint feature hard charger courtesy of the Lawrenceburg Speedway Safety Crew.
A trio of first time winners graced the Lawrenceburg Speedway last weekend with Cory Skipton (modifieds), Steve King (pure stocks), and Brandon Stephens (hornets) making their initial appearances in Budweiser Victory Lane.
Although he had been there before, Nick Bilbee’s trip to victory lane was one of the quickest in track history. Bilbee ran one of the fastest Kelsey Chevrolet Sprint features ever at Lawrenceburg Speedway completing 25 nonstop laps around the 3/8th mile high banked oval in only 6 minutes 16.155 seconds, at an average speed of 90.202 mph!
Bilbee’s fastest lap was 93.400 mph, but third place finishing Dickie Gaines topped that on lap 20 when he turned a lap of 94.259 mph. Promoter Dave Rudisell had the track fast all night as Joss Moffatt laid down a 95.510 mph lap on the final lap of the first heat.
Gaines is the current Kelsey Chevrolet Sprint point leader with three top-5 finishes in the first three races of the season. Garrett Abrams is in the runner-up spot after a pair of fourth place finishes in the last two races. Abrams has been one of the fastest cars on track towards the end of each race and is knocking on the door for his first feature win at the Burg. Michael Fischesser, Bilbee and Moffatt, in a tie with Landon Simon, round out the top five.
