Office
Depot Family Fun Night focuses on Fun!
Three
Divisions of Racing, Autograph Session and Gigantic Fireworks
Extravaganza On
Tap
ROSSBURG,
OH (Aug. 2) - Through its ‘special event’ status versus a ‘weekly
racing
series’ venue, Eldora Speedway has the unique ability to mix up their
menu of
events throughout the season and cater to many different demographics
with a
variety of race meets and promotions.
Such is the
upcoming Office Depot Family Fun Night on Saturday, August 11, which is
a sharp
contrast from the recently completed month of high-profile national
events and
huge prize money. The
tripleheader
program will highlight the UMP DIRTcar Modifieds and Eldora Stock Cars,
along
with the MMSA Mini Sprints, who will be making their first-ever
appearance on
the historic Eldora .500-mile clay oval.
While the
action on the track remains intense, as the drivers chase for valuable
points
towards the championship title, the premise of the evening is focused
on fun;
from start to finish.
The point
chase for the two ‘local’ divisions is heating up.
Rob Williams and Ryan Sutter are
deadlocked
at 157 points in the Modified pursuit, as each hunt for their
first-ever track
title. Under
the new tie-breaker in
place this year, Williams would garner the championship based upon his
feature
win June 30. In
the Stock Car class,
three-time champion Barney Craig holds on to a slim three point margin
over
another former champion, Shawn Phillippi.
Kicking off
the evening will be a huge autograph session within the fan zone from
4:30 –
5:30 p.m. The
popular session allows
everyone to personally greet the drivers that will be racing that night
and get
a close-up look at the cars that will take to the track at 6:30.
Prior to
race time, other activities for the younger children include inflatable
bouncers and balloon twisting clowns, along with giveaway items from
Office
Depot.
When the
spotlight returns to the race track, the three divisions will battle it
out in
a full program of competition that includes preliminary heat races,
B-Features
and the concluding A-Features.
Closing out
the night will be another one of the gigantic fireworks extravaganzas
that
Eldora has become known for in recent years.
Tickets are just $8 and all children 12
years of age and younger are admitted free.
Complete event information, including a
time schedule of events, is
available at www.EldoraSpeedway.com or by calling the speedway office

338-3815 during normal business hours.
