An exciting night of high speed entertainment proved to be a real crowd pleaser when Don's Goodyear Auto Service Center, of West Plains, sponsored the events and provided a great selection of racing related doorprizes.
With Goodyear being such a strong sponsor of NASCAR, as well as the local level of racing, it seemed most appropriate to announce an additional special event being added to the schedule at WPMS. Early Saturday afternoon it was confirmed that June 16, will be the date for the first annual Kenny Wallace Night at West Plains Motor Speedway. Wallace, who resides in St. Louis, MO area, will be on hand for autographs as well as competiting in a special openwheel modified race. More details will be made soon concerning this special event.
