"Something for Everyone" at McCook Speedway July 29
By Darin Racek
MC COOK, NE (July 21) - The theme for the 2010 Red Willow County Fair is
"Something for Everyone", and hopefully on July 29, McCook Speedway will
provide just that. It does promise to be an exciting night for race fans, as
racers from at least a three state area will come to race for pride, points,
and prize money on the action-sized 3/8-mile racetrack. The races are set to
begin at 7:30 PM, Central Time, with the gates opening at 5:30 p.m. Four
classes will be on hand, all sanctioned by the International Motor Contest
Association. Heat races and potential B Features will be run to qualify the
cars for the A Features. Lineups for heat races and for the front rows of
the A Features will be determined by the draw rather than by points.
Headlining the show will be the IMCA Modified class. The car count for this
class will be aided by the annual Modified special in Colby, Kansas on the
following two nights. The winner of the IMCA Modified A Feature will take
home $700, and anyone starting the race will be assured of $100. The IMCA
Stock Car A Feature starters are assured $75 to start, but the winner takes
home $500. The winner's share of the IMCA Hobby Stock and IMCA Northern
SportMod purse is $200, and starters getting $50. The drivers will also run
for IMCA national, regional, state, and track points on that night.
There will not be an entry fee for the cars, nor will there be a
registration fee required by cars that have not raced at McCook Speedway yet
this year. Pit passes are $25 per person. The admission in the grandstand
will be $10 for adults, $5 for kids 6 - 12, and children five and under are
free. Advanced grandstand tickets may be purchased from the Red Willow
County Fair Board Office. The grandstand gates will open at 5:30 p.m.
Central Time. McCook Speedway and the Red Willow County Fairgrounds are
towards the northwest side of McCook at the corner of Q and West 5th
Streets; north of U. S. Highways 6 and 34 on West 5th St., and east of U. S.
Highway 83 on Q St. For more information, contact Dennis McFarland at
308-737-0098.
For drivers and fans that would like a chance to check out the action at
McCook Speedway before then, there is a regular night of racing scheduled
for Friday night, July 23. These same four divisions will race on that
night. The races begin at 8 p.m. Central Time on July 23.
