ORLANDO SPEEDWORLD BECOMES "FAMILY FRIENDLY" FRIDAY NIGHT
Orlando SpeedWorld will be hosting Family Night this Friday evening and the
racing action will feature a 35-lap $750 to win special for the Sportsman
class.
This week, four adults can enter the grandstands for $44 plus each will get a
free hot dog and a free canned soda or bottled water. As usual, all kids aged
11 and under will get in free.
The Sportsman division has produced some of the best competition of the year
with Orlando's Earl "Junior" Beckner and Daniel Conlin, Jr. of St. Cloud
splitting the wins. These two drivers had a serious run-in during the last
event here and that spilled over to a recent race at New Smyrna Speedway.
This should make the racing this week even more interesting as Beckner, a wily
veteran, and Conlin, a youngster just in his second year in full-sized Stock
Cars, are both very aggressive on the track although there will be a host of
top drivers trying to get their first win of the year and keep the pair from
repeating their early-season success.
Ted Helmes of Deltona has been one of the top runners so far this year as has
Steve Barnes of Orlando who has just repaired his machine after a bad wreck at
New Smyrna a few weeks ago. Ron Gustafson of Winter Springs has run well so
far this season and should be a factor along with the likes of Orlando
pyrotechnician Andy Nichols and Timmy Todd, Jr. of Kissimmee who seems to have
worked out the "bugs" in his sharp-looking new ride. Other drivers expected
to go for the cash this week include Justin Starr, Garrett Hill, Donny
Williams, Derrick Wood, Scott Garrity, Ted Head, Richard Fiore, Jr. along with
several others.
Joining the Sportsman on this week's card will be the Super Stocks, Legend
Cars, Strictly Stocks, Four Cylinder Stocks and Bandoleros.
Pit gates open Friday afternoon at 4 pm, grandstands open at 6 pm with racing
starting promptly at 8 pm.
