Lexington, KY – The King Family’s Florence Speedway in Union KY will be the place to be April 9th and 10th as both the O’Reilly’s NARA Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar Series and the NARA DirtCar Series kick off their 2004 season at the famed Northern Kentucky speedplant.
Florence Speedway, along with Florence Winnelson and Delta Faucet Co., have come together to dedicate the weekend events to helping the fight against cancer in children. The weekend will be known as the Landen Joseph Spence Memorial Weekend presented by Florence Winnelson and Delta Faucets. For those who are unfamiliar with him, Landen Spence is the son of Allen Spence of Florence Winnelson, a long time supporter of local racing and Florence Speedway. Landen was just 23 months old when he lost his battle with cancer in November. Since then, his family has dedicated themselves to helping prevent others from having to go through what they have. As part of the weekend, numerous fundraising activities will be held, and proceeds will go to the foundation.
Florence Speedway will play host on Friday Night, April 9 to the 2004 season debut of the O'Reilly NARA Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar Series. The $3000 to win main event will be preceded by a full program for the BoB Late Models with time trials, heat races and consy events. BoB rules and format will be in effect for the Friday night event. In the two previous visits to the track in 2003 the series saw two Hoosier State drivers take home the money with Scott James of Lawrenceburg, IN winning the "Ralph Latham Memorial Race" and Scottsburg, IN's Mike Jewell taking the season finale in October by winning the "Fall 50".
On Saturday Night, April 10 the cameras of ESPN2 will be at the Florence Speedway as the North American Racing Association (NARA) makes its debut at Florence Speedway for the annual "Spring 50". There will be a complete race program for the NARA Late Models with time trials, heat races, consy events and the 50 lap feature which will pay $10,000 to win.
