BUCKNER, MO (March 28, 2010) - As Mother Nature attempts to wreak havoc on
the early spring racing schedules in the Midwest, the Lucas Oil MLRA will
try again this weekend with the "Spring Meltdown" at I-80 Speedway in
Greenwood, Nebraska on Saturday, April 3rd. The previous two attempts to get
the 2010 season underway at Mid-America Speedway were postponed by rain, but
as they say "hopefully the third time is the charm". "We are all ready to
get this season going," stated MLRA Promoter Harriett Chancellor "I know the
drivers and fans both have cabin fever and we are all ready get back at it."
The racing action starts at 6:30pm on Saturday with the gates set to open at
3:00. Adult Admission is set at $15 with Juniors (6-15) just $8. Kids 5 and
under are admitted FREE. The Lucas Oil MLRA will be racing for $3,000 to win
while the IMCA Modifieds will also be in action with a special $1,000 to win
top prize. IMCA Hobby Stocks round out the support classes.
