“With the Perry Family former owners of Springfield Raceway, it really is only fitting that we have this memorial event there.” quoted Jon Sawyer. Sawyer who owns and races Midget Open-wheel cars started this event because of the Perry family.  “Mark and Brenda have always been so active not only in the racing community, but also in the Springfield Area.
