It’s here! Budweiser presents opening night at Jacksonville Speedway featuring a huge show to start the 2012 season featuring:

Lucas Oil POWRi Midgets co-sanctioned by Badger
Speedway Motors 600cc Outlaw Micros
410 Winged Sprint Cars
UMP Street Stocks

A huge number of midgets and micros are expected with this being the first Midwest race of the season by POWRi and Badger. A full field of sprints and street stocks will round out an action packed race card. Drivers from as far away as Oklahoma have confirmed their intention to be on hand Friday.

The POWRi midgets never fail to disappoint at the Jacksonville bullring, with the last three races being won by Bryan Clauson, Brad Loyet and Mike Hess, respectively. The areas best 410 winged sprint drivers will be on hand getting a night at Jacksonville behind them in preparation of next week’s MOWA opener. The street stock class with its strong contingent of local racers has provided some of the track’s best racing week in and week out in the past.

Pits open early at 3:30 due to an expected large car count. Grandstands open at 5:00. Driver’s meeting at 6:00, Hot Laps at 6:30 with racing at 7:00.

Grandstand admission is $20 with children 12 and under free. Pit passes are $30.

Sprint cars will follow MOWA rules with a Hoosier SC15 or SC25 on the right rear. Passing points will be utilized for the sprints. There will not be a sprint car dash, but there will be a draw for a feature inversion.

Street stocks will race according to UMP rules. For more information, visit us at www.jacksonvillespeedway.com or contact us at: track@jacksonvillespeedway.com

*** The previously scheduled Dirt Road to Indy festivities, including Thursday’s golf outing and dinner have been postponed. Primary honoree Bryan Clauson is obligated to an event in Indiana on Friday due to a rain out last week. All persons with existing reservations have been contacted. We will attempt to make up the Indy related festivities at a later date following this year’s Indy 500.
