"2008 Kart Racing Facility for Lucas Oil Speedway"
January 30, 2008
The Lucas Oil Speedway announces plans to build a Kart Racing Facility on site for the 2008 Race Season. The track, which shall be west of Speedway just behind the Midway and current "Slick Track" Go-Kart Facility, will be completed for an April 19th opening.
"It's about staying on top of racing trends," said Kevin Greven, Track General Manager. "Kart racing has exploded across the Nation in the past decade. This new facility will not only capitalize on that market but allow the Speedway to grow and develop the next generation of drivers."
The track will offer a "Money Class" comprised of both Outlaw 500 Sprint Karts and Flat Karts and a Trophy Class for Outlaw 250, F200, Gold, Blue and Black Plate Sprint Karts. The season will open April 19th and alternate race dates with the County Line Speedway located just south of Brighton, MO on Hwy.13.
"We are excited about the relationship with County Line Speedway," added Greven. "Our hope is to develop a special points fund for racers that participate at both tracks." More information regarding the relationship between the Lucas Oil Kart Track and County Line Speedway is forthcoming.
Spectator and non-racer admission (except on special race nights) will get fans into the Kart Track and will also allow access to the events going on the same night at the Diamond of Dirt Tracks. For the special races an upgrade will be available to Kart Track Spectators.
