WaKEENEY, Kan. (March 11)
– Ten race dates for four IMCA divisions are on the 2010 schedule at
WaKeeney Speedway. The 11-member WaKeeney
Racing Association will oversee the 3/8-mile dirt speedplant. Don Bolt and
Mike McCurdy have been hired as co-promoters. “Mike has been on the
staff here and already knows most of the drivers and crew members,” said
Bolt, previously the promoter at Elmwood Park Speedway, Oberlin Speedway
and The Speedbowl. “We’re looking forward to getting the season started and
it’s encouraging that a lot of people in and around the community share that
enthusiasm,” Opening night is scheduled
for April 18, with Sunday point races for IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Sunoco Stock
Cars, IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks and Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods to
follow on April 25, May 16, June 13 and 27, and Sept. 19. Sanctioned classes also
see action in a pair of point races during the Memorial Day Weekend May 30
and 31, on Friday, July 16 and on Monday, Aug. 2 during the county fair. Northern SportMods will
run a full season this year; they’d alternated nights in 2009. Modified points earned at
WaKeeney count toward ButlerBuilt Central Region standings. Stock Car and
Hobby Stock points figure toward Probe Industries Northern Region standings
for those classes. “The improvements we’ve
already completed or plan to have done by opening night will be much
appreciated by drivers and fans alike,” Bolt said. “Everything from the
reworked racing surface to catch fence repairs and new plumbing has or will
be done by opening night.” Bolt and his wife Paula
will also promote the July 25 and 26 county fair races at Osborne Speedway.
National, regional and state points will be given in the Modified, Stock and
Hobby divisions, while Northern SportMod drivers race for national and state
points.
