BEATRICE, Neb. (March 17) – Spring Nationals will still start the 2010 race season at Beatrice Speedway. The first green flag will just fly a week later than originally scheduled. The 17th annual special has been postponed from this weekend to next Friday and Saturday, March 26-27. No changes have been made in the two race programs, both headlined by $1,500 to win IMCA Modified features. “We could get the track race-ready, but forecasts are calling for even colder and wetter weather this weekend,” promoter Toby Kruse said. “We don’t want to ask drivers or fans to travel any distance when the odds are that one or both programs will be canceled.” Both Modified features are qualifying events for the 2010 Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot and pay a minimum of $200 to start. National, ButlerBuilt Central Region and Allstar Performance State points will be given for both shows. Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods race for $400 to win and IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks run for $300 to win each night. National and state points will be awarded in each class; Hobby Stocks also earn Probe Industries Northern Region points. Mach-1 Sport Compacts race for $200 to win, along with national and state points, on Friday. An open practice session for all divisions will now be held from 6-9 p.m. on Thursday, March 25. Pit gates open at 4:30 p.m. Friday, with hot laps at 6 p.m. and racing at 7 p.m. On Saturday, gates open at 2:30 p.m., hot laps are at 5 p.m. and racing is at 6 p.m. Grandstand admission each race night is $14 for adults and $5 for kids 10 and under. Pit passes are $10 for Thursday’s practice and $25 for Friday and Saturday shows. To accommodate the rescheduled special, I-80 Speedway at Greenwood has moved its March 27 IMCA Modified race to Friday, April 2. Sanctioned Mods also run at I-80 on April 3.
