Local racers and local preachers will have the pedal to the metal this Friday at PIR on a race night sponsored by C-Plant Federal Credit Union.
On the track, it will be heats and features for the UMP Late Models, Crate (Pro) Late Models, Modifieds, Street Stocks, 4-cylinder Warriors, and the Super Cell Mini Sprints.
One of the most anticipated events of the season is the annual Faster Pastor race. Area clergymen will compete with each other in Warrior racecars and will be cheered on by their congregations. This season’s edition of Faster Pastor will mark the third season in a row for this popular race. A complete list of pastors competing in the “Preacher Feature” will be released mid-week.
Also on Friday, PIR and Chevrolet again will be registering fans to win a new Silverado Pick Up Truck. Four lucky fans will be randomly selected for the Grand Prize Give Away, which will be conducted at the track during the September 5 event. Qualifiers at the July 11 event were:
• Butch Armour, Paducah
• Christy Martin, Ledbetter
• Megan Spiceland, Benton
• Tracy Tackwell, Princeton
All qualifiers will be notified by mail.
NASCAR Stars Dale Earnhardt, Jr, Ken Schrader, and Promoter Bob Sargent purchased Paducah International Raceway in November of 2005. Two-time NASCAR Champion Tony Stewart joined the trio of co-owners as a partner in September of 2006. In 2008 the 3/8th mile high-banked oval hosts several high profile events including three NASCAR Nights of Stars, the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars, the USA World 50, and the Tri-Track Challenge. PIR races every Friday night and is located off Interstate 24 at exit 11 in Paducah, Kentucky. For more information call the PIR hotline at (270) 448-4PIR or the track at (270) 898-SHOW (7469).
