CLARKSVILLE, TN - Whynot Speedway in Meridian, MS returns to
action in 2006, and will feature affordable Crate Late Models under the
StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series banner. Dirt Late Model driver Rodney
Wing has purchase the track and his plans are to reopen the facility that
has been closed for the past seven years.
"We've been busy working at the track, cutting down trees
that have grown up through the years, painting buildings, and trying to get
the track ready to reopen in mid April," Wing said. "We've done a lot of
renovation that includes new roofs on the buildings, new bleacher boards,
and a new P.A. system."
Wing admits he is seeing the racing business from a whole new perspective
that he never saw as a driver.
"As a super late model driver, I still see that class has a place as a
special event, but the costs have gotten out of hand for a weekly division,"
Wing said. "The Crate Late Models are the coming thing for weekly tracks
because of their affordability, and we're excited to be involved with the
StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series."
The StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series features economical engines produced
by GM Performance and sealed at factory. The steel-head "602" engine sells
for $2,950, and the aluminum-head "604" engine sells for $4,950, with free
delivery for either engine. These engines are race-ready right out of the
crate from the factory.
Whynot Speedway will also host a StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series
National Touring event, a two-day $5,000-to-win race on September 1-2.
"Rodney Wing is a breath of fresh air for weekly dirt track racing, as he is
a young energetic promoter that is willing to look at new ideas, and seek
advice on how to do things right," StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series
President of Operations and Communications Roby Helm said. "Listening to
Rodney's enthusiasm makes us excited about working with him, and helping him
make Whynot Speedway successful once again."
The StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series will give Whynot Speedway Crate Late
Model racers an opportunity to compete against other drivers at StormPay.com
