(LASALLE, ILLINOIS) The LaSalle Speedway will “Get in Gear” on April 23
with an open practice session for all divisions. The practice will take
place on the 1/3-mile, high-banked oval from 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. this
Saturday evening. The grandstands will be open at 5:00 p.m. and admission
is free. The pit gate will open an hour earlier at 4:00 p.m. and pit
admission is $20.00.
The LaSalle Speedway is the Illinois Valley's largest outdoor entertainment
complex. In addition to hosting weekly and national racing events, the
complex also holds concerts and swap meets. The track, which has been run
by the Izzo family since 1992, will once again be promoted this year by
Kerrianne Izzo. She has assembled an exciting 2005 schedule, which will
kick off on April 30. Late Models, Midwestern Late Models, Street Stock,
and Sportsman classes are on the card for the season opening event. The
Late Model weekly class will be unsanctioned this year, but will be
competing on Goodyear tires with a local point fund.
The Lucas Oil NARA Late Model Dirt Series will invade the racy oval on May
21 and July 30. Both the ‘Spring Shootout’ and the ‘Illinois Valley
Challenge 50’ will pay $10,000 to the winner. The UMP Summernationals
Series will once again hold an event at the historic LaSalle Speedway. A
$6,000 to win feature event will await the competitors on night eighteen of
their grueling 28 race stretch. The season will conclude at LaSalle with a
$5,000 to win event sanctioned by the WDRL PolyDome Late Model Series.
In addition to the popular Late Model events, the LaSalle Speedway will also
hold numerous special events for the Midwestern Late Models, the Sportsman,
and the Street Stock classes throughout the season. Another exciting event
this year will be the Trick Pony concert on May 29. Tickets are currently
