Tuesday May 15th - Big New at Last Nights Jackson County Fair Board Meeting!
The All Star 410 Outlaw Sprint Car Race will still happen on Friday July 27th!!! The Jackson County Fair Board, Jackson Speedway, and All Star Series Owner Guy Web have agreed to co-promote this event.
For me being able to team up with the Fair Board on this race is huge, they always do a great job of promoting their events and I think we are all excited to have a major league event at this years Jackson County Fair.
Tentative plans for this race are to run our Jackson Speedway Touring Series and 305 Sprints at this event. The last several years the All Star Sprints have had a great following of Drivers for there Midwest swing, and we expect to a great count of 410 sprints for this event.

Update Thursday May 10th - We are postponing the Spring Nationals
With last weeks 5 Plus Inches of rain at Jackson Speedway, the 1st chance we had to work the track was Thursday. Although we could race on it, the surface is still very wet and very soft. The track would almost certainly have been very rough.
With a big show and big money on the line, we don't want to chance having a rough track that could tear up a bunch of equipment
This coupled with tomorrow Nights Forecasted lows in the 40's a 40% chance of rain and a strong NW wind, I am making the difficult decision to postpone the event again.
However, I am excited to announce that we are putting together an incredible "Plan C" for the Spring Nationals.
We are going to move the Spring Nationals to Friday, June 1st and combine it with our IRA 410 Outlaw Sprint Car Race.

Update Monday May 7th -
I think everyone is pretty disappointed to not see the Spring Nationals happen this past Friday Night. Hopefully mother nature cooperates and we will see the same kind of turnout for this Friday's make up race.
I feel really bad for the teams and fans that spent a lot of time and money on fuel to try and attend the race, only to have this massive storm rain on our parade.
If also felt bad that I could not keep up with the volume of calls on the phone lines, as I know there were a lot of people traveling and wanting to know how things were looking. I almost think the cell phone service \ Text Service was overloaded / down for a while as well.
Here is what things looked like around the Jackson Speedway around the time we should have been hot lapping:
