As always the Haubstadt track was prepared as well as any track anywhere. Great weather, aw… Continue

Just have to ask, why only 22 cars at the PEPSI Midget Nationals at Knoxville Raceway may 29 & 30? Great racing by the 22 midgets and the 30 Masters 360 sprinters Friday followed by another GREAT show Saturday with 20 midgets and 40 410 sprinters.

What a great day it was at The Speedway May 9th for Pole Day. After an uneventfull 3hr 10min drive we arrived in time to see the last hour of practice.

The weather was good, maybe a little too much wind, but the action on the track was HOT! It was another GREAT day spent at The Speedway to file away in the memory bank for future refere… Continue

NASCAR has changed the qualifying order to allow the non top 35 drivers to qualify in one group. This modification is meant to give those drivers that are not automatically locked in the race, the chance to make their run in basically the same weather and track conditions.
