presented by
Arizona Sport Shirts is set to battle the track they call the "Action
Track"
- Richmond Raceway in Richmond, Ky this Saturday night May 11th.
$3000 will go to the driver that can battle the best in the Bluegrass
and
tame the "Action Track". The race pays $250 to start. This race will
be ran
under Battle of the Bluegrass rules and procedures. Series tire rule
will be
in effect and we will not be racing back to the caution.
This past weekend McCoy Motor Speedway saw Harrodsburg driver Timmy
Yeager
leave with $3000 in his pocket and the honor of winning the first ever
Battle
of the Bluegrass event. Fans of the Barren Co speedplant call the May
3rd
event one of the best races ever at their facility. Then Sunday
afternoon,
Jesse James Lay of Walton, Ky took the checkered flag for his first
Battle of
the Bluegrass victory.
Richmond Raceway is known around the state for its close racing and
competitive field of weekly racers, so adding the BoB Boys to the pack
should
make for one action packed night.
After two races in the quest to be King of the Bluegrass, Yeager is the
points leader, with Lay second. Third is rookie Victor Lee, Fourth Brad
Barrow & Fifth John Gill.
Gates will open at 2pm Saturday with drivers' meeting at 5pm; drivers
will
take to the track around 5:30 for time trials.
