We will also be having a dash for the top 8 cars from the heat races (finishing/passing points) to determine the 1st 8 starting positions of the A. The winner of the dash will receive a free nose wing donated by Lev Wings from Jackson. The dash will be having a revenge redraw with the drivers giving away their draw but they will not know what position they are giving away when they give it away.

There will also be a raffle of a hood and tail tank sides from Lorens' car signed by all the JSTS drivers racing. All proceeds from this raffle will be divided equally from positions 11-20 as Loren was a big believer in the cars in the back usually need the little extra pay more than the teams that finish up front all the time.
 

If you would like to donate to the lap bonus, purse or bonus on a finishing position, you can contact me at dean.drahota@gmail.com or (507) 840-0776.

Thank you again to all the great sponsors who have already donated to everything and we are looking forward to making this a great event to honor a great man that was taken from all us way to soon.

On the 305 Sprints Line-ups - we will use the ASCS Passing Point system for the 305 Line-ups.  We will be locking the top 3 Finishers from Friday Nights A Feature and the Top 3 Point Earners from Saturdays Heat Races into a 6 Car Redraw for the 1st 3 Rows of Saturday Nights A Feature.  (So the Top three Finishers from Friday night will not have to run Saturday nights Heat Races)  Everyone else will re-qualify on Saturday and no points will carry forward from Friday to Saturday.

This years Jackson Sprint Car Nationals count for 305 Track Points and for JSTS Points, but not for the 360 Track Points.

5/14/2011 - Test and tune has been moved to Wednesday Night. 

And the Make-up Date for the JSTS Race at Park Jefferson has been set for Friday, July 29th. 

And to give everyone an idea of what I am thinking: The second test and tune, tentatively for next Saturday (May 21st) is very tentative, and if we get Wednesday in, we may not have it.  I am going to judge the interest (and the Possibly Timing) of a second test and tune. We may leave it on for next Saturday, we may not have it at all, and there might be an outside chance we do another mid-week one.   

5/13/2011 As posted Above the JSTS race for tonight at Park Jefferson has been postponed.  We are working on a rain date.  The test and tune for tomorrow night is still on.  I am not too worked about it being cold, but we need to evaluate the racing surface, we will let you know.  

5/4/2011 - Update on the July 8th ASCS Race.  We are going to be looking at straight ASCS Rules, which will include running the ASCS tire and an open left, as well as only ASCS heads.

4/26/2011 - The 4th Annual Spring Nationals will be postponed.  We are currently working on what the rain date is going to be.  We should have a date announced in the next day or so. 

4/25/2011 - Update on this weekend.  Although the forecast looks good for Friday any significant rainfall between now and Friday will put this Fridays show in significant danger of being postponed.  With the way the weather has been we have had very little track prep time, and the racing surface will need a full week of work.  We won't run if we don't think the track will be ready.  Watch for a lot more updates this week on the track surface and weather related updates. 

Last year I think we were darn near 100%, so let me know if you have any additions or deletions and we can come up with a good list......and lets hope that the rain stays away tonight and tomorrow.

4-22-2010 The Spring Nationals Purse has been updated, and all I can say is WOW! Over $10,000 has been added in Cash and Contingencies.   It is Now $500 to start the A, $200 to Start the B and $50 to Start a Heat Race.  Thats Right $50 TO START the heat!  I can not thank Wayne Van Wyhe and John and Steve Folkens enough for all there work in making this show a truly special event! 

Now if we could just buy off that weatherman.....

We are saddened to pass along the news that we have lost another member of the Jackson Speedway Hall of Fame, as Clair Gilmore has passed away.  Clair was one of the inaugural members of the Jackson Speedway Hall of Fame.  A member of the infamous "Flimsy Five", he was regarded as perhaps the most instrumental person in getting weekly racing action at the Jackson Speedway.  He was a long time supporter of the Jackson Speedway.   

Clair O. Gilmore, 86, of Jackson, passed away at the Sanford Medical Center in Jackson on Sunday, May 15, 2011.  Mass of Christian Burial will be at the Church of the Good Shepherd on Friday, May 20, 2011, at 10:30 AM with Father Larry Brixius, Father Charles Quinn and Father Jerome Verdick officiating.  Burial will be at the Good Shepherd Cemetery in Jackson with Military Honors.  Visitation will be on Thursday, May 19, 2011, from 4-7 PM with Rosary at 7 PM and also one hour prior to the service – all at the Church.

In lieu of flowers, memorials preferred to the Western Community Action – Angel Tree.

I wanted to share a few thoughts this Monday Morning:

Where to Start! Well I guess we had a Full moon and 5 Plus inches of Rain in the days leading up to make up feature night! 

I think it took an hour to run the 1st 360 Sprint Feature, and then just over an hour to run the next 6 features.  Great job by all of the racers.

We got done at just before 11:00, which is too late, but with all things considered, we will live with it and move on.  Seemed like most of  the nice crowd on hand stayed until the end. 

Track was challenging and was probably about what everyone was expecting. 

The Hobby Stock Race....had to be one of the most challenge races to make calls on I have been associated with in 10 years at this.  Seemed like every start was bad enough we had to think about calling it back, and the Hobby Class (because of limited suspensions) seem to be struggle with a rough racing surface more than some of the other classes. So there were a lot of incidents and there were a lot of close call and decisions to make.  I made a lot of them myself and I would guess that not everyone of them was exactly right.  But I slept good knowing there were tough calls to make and I tried my very best to get them right.  Some of them where just hard to tell exactly what happened or who caused it.  Instant replay would be nice, especially with Slow Motion, in High Definition and with In Car Cameras!!

Hopefully we get some good weather this week to work on the track and I am really looking forward to this years Jackson County Fair!!

With the Fair and Bike Sale Updates, I will be updating the web-site a lot this week, so check back often.

7-20-2010 Buy-Ins to the Make-up Feature

We will allow buy ins for the 3 make up Features this Saturday Night. 

The buy in amount will be $50 for Stock Cars.  $75 for the 305's and $100 for the 360 Sprints.  (Plus You need to buy a pit pass and in the Sprints the $10 Draw fee for the Regular Night).

If the Stock Cars or 305 Sprints get to 15 Cars that start the Make-up Feature I will add $100 more to win BOTH Features.  If they get to 20 I will make it $200 more to win both features. 

Keep in mind if we don't get any additional cars in the Stock Care or 305 Sprint classes you are on the second tier purse because neither division had 10 cars.  So guys help us encourage some more racers to come and join us!

If the 360 Sprints if we make it to 15 Cars that start the Make up Feature, I will add $200 more to win each Feature and if they get to 20 Cars that Start the Make up Feature I will make it $400 More to win EACH Feature. 

I know that several guys are not able to make it back and these cars will NOT count toward the 15 or 20 Car Count Bonus, the Bonus is based on how many cars start the Make up Feature. 

Thanks and can not wait for Saturday!! 

It also came to our attention that Nick Pronk Passed away last week as well.  We apologize for not getting this information out sooner.  Here is a link to his obituary.  Nick was a long time track employee and was inducted into the Jackson Speedway Hall of Fame in 2003.

Fireworks Abound At Jackson Speedway for July 3, 2010 - Jackson Sports and Bohl's Small Engine and Marine Night 

By Dan Voigt Jackson Speedway Media Relations

The July 4th holiday brought about fireworks on the track and in the air on Saturday, July 3 at the Jackson Speedway. A huge display of fireworks following the conclusion of the night’s features ushered in the Independence Day holiday weekend.

The fireworks were also found on the track as well during the evening, with plenty of action in each of the classes on Bohl’s Small Engine and Marine Night and Jackson Sports Night at the Speedway.

In the Jackson Speedway Hornets, Nate Coopman of Mankato continued his dominance of the class, winning the feature event after placing third in the heat race. For the Car Toyz of Marshall Hobby Stocks, Dustin Larson of Rushmore, MN, would claim another win on the season as he bested the highly competitive field in the feature to capture the double checkers.

The Bohls Small Engine and Marine IMCA Sport Mod action saw the 9L of Matthew Looft of Swea City, IA, escape an opening lap incident to work through the pack for a sweet victory and in the Performance Center IMCA Stock Car class, a spirited battle for the first quarter of the feature would turn into a feature win for Jake Masters of Graettinger, IA.

In the KICD 305 Sprint class, Russell Wiese of Spencer, IA, would make a daring pass in the late stages of the race to earn his checkers and trip to the Erickson Truck Parts Victory Lane, while in the Forbes Meats 360 Championship Sprint class, the 1WX of Chad Meyer of Harrisburg, SD, survived some great challenges from hometown hot shoe Casey Heser, and then outlasted three restarts, ala` NASCAR, to get the feature win. Unfortunately for Jesse Drost of Rushmore, MN, the Hot Dog of the Night back row challenge didn’t pay out the $1,000 bonus, as Drost crashed on the opening lap of the 20 lap feature.

Next Saturday Night will be the first Doug Cellan Memorial Night, featuring and additional $2,000 in the purse for the Performance Center IMCA Stock Cars. Doug was a long-time employee at the Speedway during the 1980’s and 1990’s and a great supporter of racing in the area.

Weekly Update for June 26 Races:

Race Car Show at Forbes on Friday Night

We have a Race Car Show at Forbes Meat in Spirit Lake on Friday Night from 5-7.  We would like to encourage anyone that can bring their cars to attend. 

The Hot Dog of the Night??

The Back Row Challenge for the Forbes Meats 360 Sprints (and we are still working on a name for this) will be in place again this week, but will have a minor stipulation.  If we have under 10 cars the bonus Winning amount will be $500 and the challenger will get $15 per position advanced. 

Over 10 Cars and it will be $1.000 and $25 per position advanced.  I think we will be over 10 Cars.

The Doug Cellan Memorial will be on July 10th for IMCA Stock Cars.  The Cellan Family and the McCorkell Family are both putting up $500 of Matching Funds. We are hoping to get enough people to add to the purse to come up with another $1,000, and have $2,000 added to the Stock Car Purse for the Night. 

So far we have these additional Donors:  Luke Sathoff $100, Dave Doppenberg $50, Larry Loeschen $50, Phil Handevit $50, Dan Voigt $50, Jeff Senne $50, Jerry Nutt $50, Dave Nutt $50, Nate Peterson $50, Gayle Odegaard $50, Lon Oelke $50, Dean and Cindy Albrecht, Paul and Wanda Jerosek $50, Dani and Jim Kepler (Dani was Doug's Sister), Glen Mura $50, Merle and Jan Weise $25, Dennis Hein $25, Dennis Houseman (and Cruz in Classics) $25 and Tom Svoboda $25, Ron Childs $25, Irv Johnson $20. = $945 - or $55 to go to reach our Goal! And we would not necessarily have to stop there. If you would like to donate to this great race e-mail me at j.mccorkell@mchsi.com.  

We are also going to try and get as many past track employees that worked with Doug here on this night, so help help us pass the word. Click Here for a little more information on Doug.

6-18-2010 We are at The state Bank of Fairmont Today and Murray County Speedway Tonight:

Back Row Challenge will Return!

We have had another sponsor step up (they wish to remain anonymous) and what they want to do is to do a back row challenge for the 360 Sprints.

This is how it is going to work:
We do our line ups by finishing and passing points, and the Back Row Challenge will 1st be offered to the car with the most points and then the next guy and so on until someone takes it. The farther you get back in the field the more tempting it will be.

If the car that takes it wins the race it Pays an additional $1000. And if they don't win they get $25 per car passed. So lets say we have 15 Cars Start and they get up to 5th they will get $250, because they passed 10 Cars.

What I need is a good name to call this Bonus or Challenge. And it will start this weekend. So someone could win $3,000 if someone is able to win the race from the back. Please help me come up with a good name for this, I think it sounds great!!

Reminder to the Race teams to Read over the Track Procedures and you will find the Track Packing Schedule.  It was suggested by the race committee that we go back to backing by class and they also thought we need some enforcement for those teams that do not do a minimum of 10 laps of packing.  The penalty is no hot laps and start at the back of their heat race.  The Pit Meeting will be at 6:30 and if any track packing is needed it will be immediately following the pit meeting.   

Race Committee Meeting Update:

Dominick Bruns Memorial Race Update: If we get our $500 of Purse Sponsorships (Remember The McCorkell Family will match $500) and make then we would have $1,000 added to the purse:  And we elected to add it to the purse like this:  $200 to the Winner and $100 to 2-9th.  So the Purse looks like this:  $500, 350, 325, 300, 275, 250, 200, 190, 180, 75, 75, 75, 50 to Start.  We know it drops off from at 10th, but the top 9 look Great! So far these are the Purse Sponsors for this race:  Jeffrey Larson $100, Jim Larson $100, Luke Sathoff $100....Looking for $200 more.

360 Sprints Tire Rules:  We are going back to our original rules:  SC-25 on the Right or the ASCS Tire, D-12 or RC-1 on the Left.  But we will also allow anything on the left that durometers at least as hard as the D-12.  this will be for JSTS and for Jackson Speedway rules.

We also talked about doing some sort of special in the B Mod and Hobby Classes.  I said I would do some sort of matching type purse Sponsorships.

Schedule Update:  We have moved the Loren Woodke Memorial Race to Friday August 20th (the Friday of the Jackson Nationals) due to some scheduling conflicts.  The Friday June 18th race has been eliminated.  Saturday June 19th will be the Make up for University of Okoboji Night.  We will keep the Saturday June 19th Race a JSTS Race and and will keep the Increased Purse for the 305 Sprints, and we will also have the bonus money on this Night, as decided by the U of O Committee. 

We will be having a Race Committee meeting on Thursday Night.

U of O Poster

Click to Enlarge - Note the Hot Lap Times on the the Poster are Wrong - Hot Laps are at 7:30 on Friday and 6:30 on Saturday.

Dominick Bruns Memorial: This is coming up on 6/12/2010.  The Jackson Speedway will match any purse donations / Sponsorships up to $500 for this event. 

360 Sprint Left Rear Tire Rule:  After visiting with some of our teams, we will open up our Let Rear Tire Rule for this weekends races on Friday and Saturday.  Any tire and any compound will be allowed for left tires.  No Changes to the Right Rear at this time.  From talking to some teams it has come to our attention that there is a surplus of RD-12, etc, that teams can buy fairly cheap.  Hopefully this helps to keep cost down and to maybe attract a few new teams.  We will be visiting with the 360 Sprint teams this weekend about what they would like to do going forward.

I thought this was a neat picture we had in the Estherville Daily News from Our Show Car Appearance on Monday.

Remember that Donny Schatz Article that I had been trying to post on the web-site the Day Before the Outlaw race? Well I found that they put it right on the KILR web-site.  Here is a link. http://kilrradio.com/index.php  Its under the Sports Section and you just have to click on the Right of the Link.

This Monday should be Busy as I have a couple of Interviews Set up for local Newspaper Publications about the upcoming season and I will also be speaking to the Jackson Kiwans about the upcoming season. Speaking of Which the Season is Really Starting to take shape.  These are a few of the things we have been working on the details for:

On May 22nd we were planning on Honoring last years Champions, but I got to thinking that we should do something for all Former Champions.  Click Here for the Page on the May 22nd Activities.

Emmet County Night has been Announced - May 29th, We are still working on Some of the Details.  Houseman Oil and Riverside Sinclair have both stepped up and we are currently working on a couple more Sponsors. 

The thought is that at Estherville's Chuckwagon Days (Thursday May 27th) will be a great place to promote Emmet County Free Night, this is where they have all the Chamber members Grill Free Hot Dogs.  We will have the show car at Northstar Bank and we will also be inviting any and all race cars from the Area to Attend as well.  This is also Military Appreciation Night.

We have added a Classic Car Drive-In Night for the Doug Cellan Memorial Race on July 10th.  This will be an event of the Black Nights Car Club from Estherville, IA.  Click here for Updated Information to the July 10th Page.

Race Receivers are now available. Click Here for the Details of Pricing, etc.  You can get these at the Test and Tune Next Saturday 5-15/2010.

3/30/2010 - Dirt work Has Begun! 

With the Winter we had, who would have thought we would be on the track this early!  As you can see from the photos, we had just started when I shot these pictures over the noon hour, but with the highs expected in the 70's we are going to have a couple of great days to get in some serious track prep.

3/29/2010: It is with a Sad Heart that we pass along the News that another Jackson Speedway Hall of Fame Member has passed away.  Jerry Frantsen died Sunday March 28th.

3/28/2010:  The Season Kick off Party was a great success!  Thank you to all those that participated, by either making Chili, helping with the Event,  Donating Prizes, or Bidding (or Auctioneering, thanks Bret Geldner)!  We raised some great money for the racing committee.  I think the Weather maybe kept a few cars home, but I would rather have it raining this weekend than on May 1st!  Here are the pictures I have, if you have some pictures, especially of the race cars e-mail them to us at j.mccorkell@mchsi.com. 

3/22/2010 Congratulations to this weekends World of Outlaw Winners Jason Meyers and Joey Saldana!

3/9/2010 - Updates on Miscellaneous Items

This weekend we are at the Windom Farm and Home Show on Saturday (March 13).  We again would like some drivers to come out and sign autographs. Hero Type Cards are great, but if you don't have any, one of the drivers from last weekend just got some pictures of there car printed up at Hy-vee, and this worked pretty well too.

March 20th - We are at the Jackson Farm and Home Show (again we could use drivers at this). 

March 27th - is our Season Kick off Chili Feed.  We need auction Items and Raffle Items!  All proceeds from this event go to the Racing Committee, and toward the 2010 racing Banquet \ Point Fund.

 Maybe you have a connection with a business that might donate something? Maybe you have a few left over T-shirts? or have a connection with a World of Outlaw or NASCAR Team? We can use about anything.  The Last time we had a chili feed most of the money was made on the Auction.

We will post a lot more details on the Chili Feed in the coming days, but the big thing we need to get started on is Auction items.

Contact Buco (507-227-8578) if you would like to attend either of the Farm and Home Shows to sign Autographs or if you have any Raffle or Auction Items.

3/9/2010- Jackson Speedway was a Sponsor of the Emmet County Pheasants Forever, which had its banquet Saturday, March 6th.  All attendees got free tickets to the 2010 races at Jackson Speedway.  Here is promoter Jon McCorkell Pictured with the Gun and Print, etc. the Jackson Speedway Sponsored.

3-4-2010 - Drivers Wanted to Sign Autographs at the Estherville Farm and home Show. 

Show times are Friday 4pm to 8pm and Saturday 10am - 2 pm.  Call Buco at 507-227-8578 to set a time to be at our booth.  Hero cards are great, but if you don't have them we can help come up with a driver profile for you.

3-4-2010 - This weekend we will have the Jackson Speedway Show car in Estherville, IA at the Estherville Chambers Farm and Home Show at the Regional Wellness Center. the Regional Wellness Center is across from the college.  Click here for a link to the Estherville Chambers Website: http://www.estherville.org/.

Bring the Kids out to get there picture taken in the Jackson Speedway Show Car and win some great prizes at Jackson Speedway!

3-4-2010 New Water Truck! 

We are pretty excited with our new purchase.  This PTO driven spray truck will hopefully fill our needs when we want to lightly water something. 

Director of Track Preparation Jerry Nutt, added you never know for sure until you get a chance to try something out, but from the looks of it this looks like a great little truck to either spray the infield or the track, especially when something needs just a light shot of water. 

2/14/2010 Photos from the Better Home and Living Show in Spirit Lake, IA.

Click Here for More Photos from the Spirit Lake Better Home and Living Show. 

2/12/2010 The Race Car Show at the South Park Mall (in Spencer, IA) has been set for April 10th and 11th.  They need 12 Cars to have it and last year they did not have 12.  I know that some tracks (including the JSTS at Park Jefferson) are scheduled to open before this date, but hopefully we can still make this date work.   Who knows, the way this winter is going some of these early shows may not happen. 

the Weekend should work our pretty well for the Jackson Speedway, and I will have the new Show Car there and hopefully we can get another 11 guys to commit. 

What I am hoping to do is have a Jackson Speedway Driver Meet and Greet, and maybe have a local charity grill hot dogs on the New Show Car Grill.  Watch the site for more details. Remember, Sponsors love to see your car at things like this (and of Course the Chili Feed March 27th at the Legion in Jackson).

2/10/2010 - The Jackson Speedway Show Car is coming together!  We hope to take it with us to the Better Home and Living Show in Spirit Lake, IA this weekend. We will be there promoting all of the upcoming events at Jackson Speedway in 2010. 

We won't be grilling, as they limit the amount of Food vendors, but come on out and get your (or your kids) picture taken in the show car.  Plus we have a ton of giveaways.  Who knows we might even see if Buco can still fit in the Chicken Suit.

2010 Kids Club Shirt Design:

Front               Back

12/16/09:  Restaurants Here are the preliminary Designs for the Kids Club Shirts.  More details about the Kids Club and how you can get involved are available under the Kids Tab on the Left. We have also updated our Sponsors Link Page, and have added two new pages, one for area Hotels and Campgrounds and one for area Restaurants.

12/14/09:  Jackson Speedway has teamed up with Fantasy Dirt Racing for 2010 to bring Free Fantasy Racing every Saturday Night to Jackson Speedway. Fans will be able to pick a team of drivers and compete against other fans for prizes.  Registration will be starting early 2010 and for more information visit www.fantasydirtracing.com We have also added a new Tab for the Fantasy League on the Left Menu.

12/10/09: I updated the History Section, and added a Hall of Fame Tab.  I hope to build a lot better History Section, its got a long way to go, but it is a Start.  If you have any old photos, especially of anyone that was either a Track Champion, Nationals Champion or is in the Hall of Fame, Please E-mail them to me at j.mccorkell@mchsi.com.

12/9/09: As you can see, I used the Snow Day to finally redo the buttons on the Left!

The goal is to have an easy to follow web-site, so that you can easily figure out all of the many things going on at the Jackson Speedway.  So by all means give me any input on the site. 

I added a line at the top of the 2010 Schedule for our Pre Season Promotional Schedule. I think we have an awesome 2010 Schedule coming together, and we are going to get out and promote the heck out of it to everyone that we can.

I added a Yesterday's News tab.  I am going to use this to put most of the information that was on the front page, that after its been on there a while we normally have just been deleting.

I combined the Special Events into one tab, but will be pulling out these into their own Tab as each events gets closer.

Other Info:

Looks like no World of Outlaw show for 2009.  Oh well, we have plenty of awesome promotions the way it is! 

We got a lot of great ideas in Reno, especially on things for the Kids Club.

I also have a lot of applicants to sort through, as far as prospective employees.  We will be working on this this week and next.....    

We probably won't have a lot of pictures of track work to post in the next few days (or Months!).  Man what a change in weather, but I am very thankful for the awesome amount of work we got done in November.

Tractor Repair - thanks to Heser auto for the use of the Shop!

11/21/09 -  We have updated the Schedule Quite a Bit, but it is far from set in stone, and I would expect a lot more Developments \ Changes in terms of the Theme Nights, etc.  We may also add a Big Special (Insert your guess as to what that may be!) in there somewhere as well, and should know this in a week or so.  But overall 2010 is shaping up just awesome, even without any big touring series.  We welcome any suggestions as far as scheduling goes j.mccorkell@mchsi.com.
