Brownstown Speedway Adds Lucas Oil NARA DirtCar Series and O'Reilly NARA Battle of the Bluegrass Series Events to 2005 Schedule
Brownstown Speedway is pleased to announce that the Lucas Oil NARA
DirtCar Series will sanction the 22nd Annual Hoosier Dirt Classic. This
will be the second straight year that the NARA series has presided over
this event. Last year, Mike Jewell of Scottsburg, IN claimed the biggest
win of his career in the Hoosier Dirt Classic, sanctioned by the NARA.
"We are pleased to be returning to Brownstown for the Hoosier Dirt
Classic" Series director Spencer Wilson said. "We also are pleased to be
holding the very first O'Reilly NARA Battle of the Bluegrass Series race
in the state of Indiana on June 25 for the Lee Fleetwood Memorial."
Wilson added. "Working with tradition based speedways like Brownstown, as
we continue to build, is vital to the success of the Lucas Oil NARA
DirtCar Series"
The Hoosier Dirt Classic has a long running tradition of being one of
the "cant miss events" of the early part of the racing season. Each
year, upwards of 50 Late Models hit the grounds to vie for the HDC
championship. In 1984 the tradition started, with Jeff Purvis winning the
inagural Hoosier Dirt Classic. From then on, it became a who's who of Late
Model pilots taking victories. Bloomquist, Gill, Moore, Boggs, Moyer
just to name a few. Don O'Neal leads the way with five Hoosier Dirt
Classic wins, including four straight (1999, 2000, 01, 02). With the strong
contingent of Brownstown Speedway regulars, mixed in with the Lucas Oil
NARA Dirtcar Series regulars, and some of the midwest's best, the 2005
edition of the Hoosier Dirt Classic is shaping up to be one for the
record books. The HDC will pay $7,000 to win and $500 to start.
The O'Reilly NARA Battle of the Bluegrass Series will make their first
visit to the state of Indiana for the 7th Annual Lee Fleetwood
Memorial, on June 25th. Defending series champion, Aaron Hatton will lead the
BoB Squad north of the border to tangle with Indiana's best. Mark Barber
of North Vernon, Indiana took home the Lee Fleetwood Memorial crown in
2004. The inagural event back in 1999 went to Steve Barnett. Barnett
would go on to win a second Lee Fleetwood crown in 2002. Mike Jewell took
two victories in 2000 and 2001, with Dan Sturgeon claiming victory in
2003. Remembering the late Lee Fleetwood is very important to the
history of the Brownstown Speedway. Fleetwood was an important figure every
Saturday night throughout the 70's, 80's, and 90's until his death in
1998. The Lee Fleetwood Memorial race was the brainchild of Bill and
Marty Fleetwood, the promoters of Brownstown Speedway in 1999. This 2005
edition of the Lee Fleetwood Memorial will pay $3,000 to win.
