Another six-division program of Friday night racing is on tap this week at PIR. It will be Budweiser Night with prizes and surprises for fans in the grandstands from Golden Eagle Distributing of Paducah.
Heats and features are scheduled for five UMP divisions along with the Vintage Racers. Current point leaders Dylan Thompson (Late Model), Todd Miller (Modified), Tait Davenport (Crate Late Model), Poncho Elder (Street Stock), and Jeffrey Bailey (Warrior) will attempt to maintain their advantages. Interestingly, all season leaders are from Paducah, except Bailey who hails from Calvert City.
