(LEBANON, Mo.) – With NASCAR on board as the official sanctioning body of Lebanon I-44 Speedway, fans can look for special initiatives and offers throughout the season.

Businesses, food vendors and a family game zone highlight the Lebanon Area Chamber of Commerce, “Our Town, Your Town” night with fans receiving the chance to attend the action for just $10 per car load in all Spectator viewing areas!
“Ten dollars for a car load of people is an incredible deal, the is a great fundraiser for the Lebanon Area Chamber of Commerce which benefits the entire city of Lebanon and Laclede County,” Greven said. “We are so to facilitate the event and add our full slate of racing action to an already great evening of entertainment, along with the chance to honor local businesses and restaurants in addition to fireworks and a game zone. It’s a cliché but this really is an event that has something for everyone!”
“Between the five divisions of great racing and the Monster Energy Showtime MX Stunt Team, fans are going to go home wowed,” Lebanon I-44 Speedway General Manager Kevin Greven said. “This is one of those shows where we circle it on the calendar ahead of time, because we know it’s going to be a good one. The forecast looks great for NASCAR racing and some head-shaking awesome maneuvers from those showtime performers.”
