Bloomington Speedway -- April 13, 2007 Racing Program

BLOOMINGTON, IN (April 1, 2006) - Have you had enough winter yet? Us too! It's time for nice weather and dirt track racing. And, the competitors are even more ready to go racing than we are.

Our opening night program will be the first of our Bonus Nights. The Safety-Kleen Sprint Cars will be racing for $1700 to win; and the O'Neal Wood Products Modifieds and the Tire & Wheel Center Super Stocks features will each pay $700 to win with proper decals.

Bloomington Speedway is opening with the three classes that will form the basis for our competition all season. There will be shows over the course of the season where one of the classes won't be running; but they will certainly provide the base on which our racing programs will be built. The facility, as well as the program, will be ready for competition on April 13. The track will be smooth. The rest rooms and concession stands will be clean; and the staff will do everything possible to see that the program keeps moving.

Last season, Kevin Briscoe came back to win an unprecedented fifth Bloomington Speedway Safety-Kleen sprint car championship. He'll be back at Bloomington Speedway this season with an opportunity to win a record sixth sprint car championship and a record fourth straight.. We've all seen how Briscoe can dominate the competition when he's on his game. And he almost always is on top of his game. However, at the HARF awards banquet Kevin indicated that he would probably be cutting back on his racing schedule to help his son get his racing program started. Whether or not Kevin runs for the championship, you may rest assured that there are a number of drivers who will be gunning for him or whoever happens to take the early lead this season.

Kent Robinson will be back attempting to win his second straight O'Neal Wood Products modified championship. Of course, the modified pits are generally full and there will certainly be a lot of racers intent on stopping Kent's efforts to repeat his championship. However, they had better bring their lunch as they will have an all day job on their hands.

Jeremy Hines drove to a strong Tire & Wheel Center Super Stock championship last season. He is expected to run for a second championship; however, he too is likely to experience strong competition from the likes of Ben DuBois, Greg Kendall, Chris Deweese, etc.

Don't miss the first lap on the race to the 2007 series championships. Plan to be with us on April 13 to see the best racing you'll see anywhere.
