$25,000 to Win at I 80 Speedway
GREENWOOD, NE (July 21, 2011) - In the 23 year history of the Lucas Oil
MLRA, the series has never sanctioned a bigger race than the upcoming
weekend. The Inaugural Silver Dollar Nationals takes place at I 80
Speedway this weekend. The 4/10 mile oval has been a mainstay for some
of the top regional late model shows, but this weekend's event is the
biggest in Nebraska history.
The top regional drivers are set to duke it out for the $25,000 top
prize with, $94,000 paid out in the late model purse. National standouts
will be trying their hand as well. Billy Moyer, Brian Birkhofer, Jimmy
Mars, Clint Smith, Dale McDowell, Don O'Neal, Austin Hubbard, Dan
Schlieper, Wendell Wallace and Tim McCreadie are just a few expected to
race.
A unique qualifying format will be used on Friday night. Competitors
will draw for a starting position in two heat races. The second race
will be an invert of the first. Here's the catch, you won't necessarily
race against all of the same drivers in each heat. "It's a format we
adopted from go kart racing where they run two heats," stated I-80
Promoter Ed Kosiski. "You race two nights at Knoxville to qualify for
the final night, we thought it would be interesting to try this two heat
race format."
The heat races will also pay the top three finishers, courtesy of
Malvern Bank. The Lucas Oil MLRA and I-80 Speedway would like to thank
them along with Al Belt Custom Homes for their partnership.
The USMTS series will also be in action, as they host their final two
events in the Great Plains Region. Complete shows will be contested each
night, paying $2,000 each to the winner.
