Lebanon-I-44-Speedway(LEBANON, Missouri) With the 2012 racing season less than five months away, officials at Lebanon I-44 Speedway announced today that the 2012 Season Schedule and Rules for the construction of racecars in the track’s five ASA stock car classes have been finalized. The event schedule has been posted online at the facility’s official website, www.i44speedway.net, while the racecar construction Rules will be available on the track’s website on or before Monday, December 5.

“We have been working on the 2012 schedule of events and rules for quite some time now, and I’m very pleased with the outcome,” said I-44 Speedway promoter Craig Armstrong. “This is the time of year when our racers and fans make their plans for the coming year, and we wanted to give them a working schedule of events before the Holiday Season got into full swing. Ditto the racecar construction rules, as many of the drivers and teams want to get a head start on the new season of racing while they have time to work on their racecars in the winter months.”

While a 22-event schedule for the 2012 season has been assembled, Armstrong says there is still room to add one or more ‘special events’ to the line-up before the season opens in late April.

“Our big addition to the 2012 schedule is the return of the ASA Midwest Tour super late model series on Friday and Saturday, September 28 and 29”, Armstrong noted. “But we are also talking with the United States Super Truck series about one or more dates, and there are a couple of other major sanctioning bodies that we are in discussions with about special events at I-44 Speedway next year.”

The speedway’s 2012 racing season is slated to open on Saturday, April 28 with a five division ASA-sanctioned stock car racing program, plus a special post-race ‘Party in the Pits’, presented by Budweiser. Other than Saturday, July 14, when the track will be closed to support the Laclede County Fair, and Saturday, September 22 with preparations for the annual ‘Fall Shootout’ on September 28-29, the facility’s popular ‘Kickin’ Asphalt’ shows will be presented every Saturday night through the end of September. Two pre-season “Open Practice” sessions for racers are also scheduled for Saturday afternoons on April 14 and 21.

The racecar construction Rules for each I-44 Speedway stock car class were thoroughly audited by the track’s Chief Technical Inspector, Larry Magnussen, prior to publishing the 2012 editions. While some revisions were made in the interest of saving money for the competitors and achieving a more equitable balance of competition, most of the changes were designed to generate more interest in each of the classes from former and potential I-44 Speedway racers.

“Our Sportsman class rules in particular are an example of how we are working very hard to attract more racers and racecars,” Armstrong said. “We’ve opened them up to include steel-bodied stock chassis and stock ‘stub’ cars, as well as old ‘perimeter chassis’ fiberglass-bodied late models and former I-70 Speedway trucks. This class will be super-competitive and fun for the racers, and very entertaining for our race fans as well!”

Located just four miles east of the Lebanon city limit on Historic Route 66, the 3/8-mile, high-banked oval at Lebanon I-44 Speedway is the only operating asphalt oval track in the state of Missouri. Additional information about the facility may be found of the track’s official website, www.i44speedway.net, or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/Lebanon-I-44-Speedway.
