Auburndale Speedway was once a bustling 1/4 speedway with huge car counts and packed grandstands. That is what new ownership and new race management want to see again. The speedway, located in central Florida near Lakeland, was recently purchased by the Guy family and has brought Ronnie Sims on board to get the race program back up to speed.
On hand Tuesday night at the Snook River Grill will be Rex Guy, representing the ownership, along with Ronnie Sims and Harold Crooms who is promoting a big modified event at the speedway in October. The event is to honor Harold’s father who raced at “A-Dale” for many years.
Beginning this week Real Racin’ USA will feature a full half hour of news and interviews from the exciting world of the All Harley Drag Racing series. These wild racers fly down the 1/4 mile at over 200 mph on two wheels (or less). Steve LeTempt, announcer for many events on the series tour, will co-host the segment. This week highlights the recent show at Commerce Ga., the Stone Mountain Harley-Davidson Southern Nationals.
Rick Day, former Florida SARA series promoter and former GM at San Antonio Speedway, says he might have something to say about the politics in racing. San Antonio Speedway closed earlier this year, reducing further the short track racing scene in Texas.
A preview of the upcoming Triple Crown races at USA International Speedway beginning on June 2. We will have an update on the new ownership at USA International Speedway and what it means for Florida racing. Gene Crane is scheduled and perhaps some interesting surprises are in store for listeners. Why is it called Triple Crown anyway?
Also on June second the ASA Late Model series returns to Georgia, and promoters from the South Georgia Motorsports Park are lined up to give us all the details.
Real Racin’ USAÂ will have a special starting time of 6:30 PM this week and as usual the show is over at 9 PM.
Real Racin’ USA is live in the studio at the Snook River Grill every Tuesday and fans have come to expect some surprises each week.

Short Track America’s “Real Racin’ USA” is getting straightened out. That’s right, after years of covering circle track racing and giving occasional time to a drag racer, Jack Smith, Rick Anges and Bill Green have seen the light.
