Hard Work Paying Off For Frostbuster at Marshalltown!
By: Dennis Grabenbauer

MARSHALLTOWN, IA. (March 28, 2007) - As the time draws near, the anticipation continues to grow, as the Marshalltown Speedway will come to life this Sunday with the Frostbuster Season Opener. The late start in getting the new concession stand started, has given everyone involved the challenge of working together in making the dream of promoter Toby Kruse a reality. “It kind of leaves me speechless, when I stand back and just watch at the determination of our crew of professionals who are working together for the betterment of our sport in Marshalltown” say’s Kruse.

What many considered as a project that wouldn’t be completed in time for the season “Frostbuster” Opener this Sunday, now has the making of it all coming together at just the right time. “We make hugh strides daily,” continued Kruse, “it seems like everyone knows what the other guy is doing to prepare for the next step. This is the greatest form of communication that I have ever seen, and have been involved with.”

When race fans enter the grounds this Sunday, it will be no April fools joke. They will notice fresh rock that has been put in place, around a state of the art concession stand. Much of the fence work will not be completed, but what the fans will enjoy is the concrete walkway that will take them to the grandstand area. “I said last year that it would take some time to update this race track, we are getting closer to what I have in my mind how I want it to look, I hope the fans will be as pleased as I will be. With the concrete approaches, now we can get our fans that are in wheel chairs into the races without working their chairs through the soft and rocky ground. We just want everyone to enjoy the speedway that boasts a very proud tradition.”

2007 will begin this Sunday with the Frostbuster before moving into the regular season the following Friday April 6th.

The pit area will open at 2:00 with the grandstand opening its doors at 3:00. Hot laps will begin at 4:00 and the races will start at 5:00. “I really hope our fans come early and look around at the work all of these people have done. I can’t thank everyone enough for taking there work to heart. They’re helping me live my dream, and I am so thankful.”
