Due to the power outage at Lincoln Park Speedway and estimated time of restoration the Bill Gardner Sprintacular is being moved to Sunday 7/2 and Monday 7/3.

Sunday will be MSCS/USAC sprints, modifieds, and 305 Racesaver Sprints.

Monday 7/3 will be USAC/MSCS Sprints, Super stocks, and bombers

We will update gate openings for these days later today.

Always a tough call when it rains. I could have done a Sat/Sun. 3:30 Monday Dr appointment rules out Monday. Are the formats in the same order?

At this point, any track that gets to run this weekend will be a “win”. Good luck everyone and have a great 4th of July Weekend. Hope you get to see some action somewhere!!

Storms, storm damage, and power outages are never good for anyone. Hopefully all can regain power soon and start to recover from the storm damages, both personal property and business property including but not limited to race tracks and speedways.

As for Kokomo...yes this may negatively impact the Nonwing Sprint car count at Kokomo, but highly unlikely it impacts the entire race and show. Kokomo Speedway celebrates Independence Day every year on July 3rd. Outside of Nonwing Sprints, they also showcase Modifieds and Thunder Cars. It is also known as The Dave Crow Classic. It is a big deal to people in and around Kokomo and involved with the track. It will likely be one of the highest car counts outside of Nonwing Sprints and outside of The Kokomo Klash for Stock cars the entire season.

Lots of people and families with children go to this race and show. Along with an amazing Fireworks show, and hopefully not having a rainout, Kokomo will be a packed house and put on a phenomenal show as always.

Happy Independence Day and 4th of July to all, regardless which track you go watch racing at. Best of luck and wishes in a speedy recovery to anyone and any tracks involved with damages from the recent storms.

Forecast for today is not looking good. Monday looks promising. To misquote Ernie Banks "lets race two"

When in doubt Gas It
