DAVENPORT, IA. (March 3, 2009) -- The Davenport Speedway, located at the
Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds, will host two traveling series events and
debut a new weekly class in a busy month of April.
Speed will be on the minds of racers and fans alike on Saturday, April 4th,
when the cars and stars of the World Dirt Racing League take on the big
Davenport half-mile oval.

Friday, April 10th, is a scheduled open practice session on the quarter-mile
track. The practice session will start at 6:30pm. The April 10th date is
also the rain date for WDRL event and will pre-empt the practice if needed.

Speedway on Friday, April 17th. The event is sponsored by O’Reilly Auto
Parts.
The battle for the 2009 track championships begins Friday, April 24th, at
