Jacksonville Speedway 5/15 Change

kdobson · 12/29/14, 8:37 PM

Having already sold some advance tickets to some people in Indiana, I thought you should know a semi-important change to this show. From our Facebook page:

"Based on recently published comments that were degrading to certain drivers with a long and rich tradition of supporting Jacksonville Speedway, we just informed the leadership of the All Star Circuit of Champions that they will no longer be co-sanctioning our May 15th Sprints Gone Wild event at Jacksonville Speedway.

This should not affect the quality of the show in any significant respect as we will still be paying $5,000 to win and will still have both the National Sprint League and MOWA sanction along with the participation of some additional big name drivers we hope to announce shortly. Among those who have confirmed their plans to attend that are not aligned with either sanction is Danny Smith, who was the subject of the comments in question.

If you have already purchased a ticket to this event and this change affects your desire to attend, we will gladly refund your ticket purchase if you contact Ken Dobson at 217-371-3653.

Thank you for your understanding."

Simply amazing how much of an idiot Guy Webb is. Class move by Jacksonville. Don't know what Guy is going to do with his only star over 50. He just needs to sell out and go away.

Looks like Dale Blaney is letting Guy Webb have it on Twitter

Good call.... you may actually sell a few more tickets with this announcement.

Jim,

Bert Emick I believe, not Emge.

I think this is the right call by Jacksonville. Guy Webb's comments were uncalled for and off base. The guys he called out have been a big part of sprint car racing for a long time and I hope to see all of them at this race in May.
