Inclement weather and wet grounds have forced the cancellation of the Night of NASCAR Stars at PIR tonight. Information about rescheduling this event will be released soon.
A Midwest Motorsports Classic, the “USA World 50”, will be held Friday with the UMP/MARS Late Model feature paying $5000 to win. Bill Frye of Greenbriar, Arkansas will be looking to repeat his 2007 USA World 50 victory. Paducah’s WPSD-TV, News Channel 6, will sponsor these two days of family fun entertainment. After sponsoring PIR’s annual fireworks display in July, WPSD is “working to make a difference” in local motorsports with their support of the August double header.
PIR officials are expecting a large field of Super Late Models from all parts of the Midwest. Local PIR divisions also will be included in the programs, including Crate Late Models, Modifieds, and Warriors. Street Stocks have been added to the Friday program.
The Ticket Office and Grandstand Gates open at 5 PM Adult grandstand admission is $20. Children 12 and under are $5. Pit gates open at 3 PM. Pit passes are $30 each night, minor releases are required
NASCAR Stars Dale Earnhardt, Jr, Ken Schrader, and Promoter Bob Sargent purchased Paducah International Raceway in November of 2005. Two-time NASCAR Champion Tony Stewart joined the trio of co-owners as a partner in September of 2006. In 2008 the 3/8th mile high-banked oval hosts several high profile events including three NASCAR Nights of Stars, the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars, the USA World 50, and the Tri-Track Challenge. PIR races every Friday night and is located off Interstate 24 at exit 11 in Paducah, Kentucky. For more information call the PIR hotline at (270) 448-4PIR or the track at (270) 898-SHOW (7469).
