GAS CITY, Ind., Aug. 4 — This coming Friday night, Aug. 6, is the “August Jam” show at Gas City I-69 Speedway. It will feature non-wing sprint cars, modifieds, street stocks, hornets and USAC SpeeD2 Midwest Thunder midgets. It’s an important night for the track championships, as double points will be awarded in the sprint, modified, street stock, and hornet divisions.

As a special added attraction, a dance contest will be held during intermission. Three contestants will have the opportunity to show off their dance moves and win cash and other prizes. More than $100 is up for grabs, as the winner will take home $50, the runner-up $35, and third place $25. To enter, send an email with your contact information to info@gascityI69Speedway.com.

The pit gate will open at 3 p.m. and the grandstands at 5 p.m. Hot laps are at 6:30 p.m. and the racing starts at 7:30 p.m.

An adult general admission is only $15 and kids 12 and under are free. A pit pass costs $30.

There’s no racing at Gas City on Friday, Aug. 13 so the track staff can prepare for the annual “Night of Destruction Presented by Shrouts Auto and Recovery” on Saturday, Aug. 14, when monster trucks invade town. Headlining the show is Hall of Famer Allen Pezo in "Predator," along with TV superstar "Strait Jacket" and fan-favorite "Pounder." A school bus race, a mini-van demo derby, a rollover contest, a trailer race and more are planned.

It’s “Double Down” night on Friday, Aug. 20, with twin 21-lap features paying $2,000 to the winners for the Gas City non-wing sprint cars. Full programs for modifieds, street stocks and hornets are also on the card. The following day, Aug. 21, is reserved for the Kenny Wallace Dirt Racing Experience; more info on that is available at DirtRaceWithKenny.com.
