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.

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.

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.

Lightning Brings Premature End To AGCO-Race Days Weekend

By Dan Voigt - Jackson Speedway Media Relations

JACKSON – With a line of severe storms moving towards the track and lightning closing in on the speedway, the AGCO-Race Days Weekend program at the Jackson Speedway was called midway through the evening’s feature events.

The KICD 305 Sprints, Performance Center IMCA Stock Cars and Forbes Meat Processing 360 Sprint features were postponed and will be run this coming Saturday night, July 24, Stimulus Night and Forbes Meats night. The first 1,000 fans to the grandstand on Saturday night will receive free Forbes Meats hotdogs with paid admission.

A red flag highlighted the KICD 305 sprint car feature, as Russell Wiese of Spencer, IA, jumped the rear wheel of Dan Jorgenson of Ringsted, IA, on the start and tumbled down the front stretch, getting some rare air before coming to rest under the flag stand. Wiese was able to crawl out of the car under his own power, but the car was finished for the night.

Nate Coopman of Mankato, MN, continued his domination of the Hornet Class at Jackson Speedway with another feature win on Saturday night. Coopman has won every Hornet Feature so far this season at the speedway.

In the IMCA Hobby Stock Class, Dustin Larson of Rushmore, MN, once again powered to the front of the field midway through the Hobby Stock feature to pick up another victory on the season in his 5L machine.

The IMCA Sport Modified Feature had a great battle as Greg Sidles of Emmetsburg, IA, worked his way through traffic to outlast Matthew Looft for the checkers in the final feature of the night before lightning prompted officials to call the night’s program out of safety concerns.

In the JSTS Sprints, Tony Bruce Jr. of Liberal, KS. Dominated the field taking the victory with a straight away lead over the 2^nd place car of Jody Rosenboom, Rock Rapids, IA. The field as follows would find Greg Bakker, Lee Grosz, and Curt Lund running close together. Scott Winters of Butterfield MN. Stalled on the back straight away bringing out the yellow flag for a re start. The field would see two more yellows come out before a lap was completed which allowed Winters to come back out and start in the back of the field. Winters was extremely fast and ended up with a 6 place finish.

Midwest 305 Sprints saw Ryan Voss, Okoboji, IA. In victory lane once again but not without a challenge from Austin Johnson, Shakopee, MN. Tommy Barber, Brandon, SD. Finished a strong third, running in both the 360 and 305 division, followed by Russell Weise, Spencer, IA.

Visitation will be held from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m., Thursday, July 8, 2010 at St. Peter Funeral Home-Klein Chapel and will continue one hour prior to the service at the church. Click Here for Map.

Funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m., Friday, July 9, 2010 at St. Paul's Lutheran Church on German Lake, Cleveland, MN. Click Here for Map.

Burial will be in St. Peter's Lutheran Cemetery (The Bell Church) in Elysian.

In lieu of flowers send memorials to the Geldner Sawmill Preservation Fund at Nicollet County Bank, St. Peter, Mn.

Robert Leonard was born November 3, 1941 to Robert Michael and Dorothy (Wiese) Geldner in St. Peter. He graduated from St. Peter High School in 1959. Bobby was united in marriage to Dianne Kral and blessed with four children. He started his own business in 1965, which he ran until the end of his life. Bobby raced cars for over 30 years, starting at age 17, and was an inaugural member of the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series. Bobby's business and racing travels took him around the country and led to a steady accumulation of friends and adventures. He volunteered his time with the Le Sueur County Mounted Sheriff's Posse, the St. Peter Volunteer Fire Department for 18 years, the National Guards for six years, the Le Sueur County Historical Society site of Geldner's Sawmill and was a member of the St. Peter Red Men Club. He was dedicated to the conservation of German and Jefferson Lakes and the preservation of family heritage. Bobby had an endless sense of humor and generous heart that kept him surrounded by friends and family, enjoying the lakes, fishing, driving horses, and life.

Bobby is survived by his four children: Brett (Deb) Geldner, Robyn (Brendan Moore) Geldner, Brandon Geldner, and Ryann (Annie Annunziato) Geldner; three grandchildren: Liam, Gaian, and Breanna; special friend, Corky Biehn; sister, Roberta Mulvehill; niece, Kris Fultz; and two nephews: Scott Fultz and Mark Mulvehill; and, former wife Paula Michael. He was preceded in death by his parents.

Two other races I vividly remember were at North Star Speedway in Minnesota, when Bob Geldner had the nerve—the nerve!—to beat me off the last corner, not once, but TWICE! Actually, when I was growing up around Jackson Speedway, Bob was as good as there was in our area, driving for Loren Woodke. But the fact that he was very good didn’t put any salve on the idea of losing two different races in the last corner. – Quote from Doug Wolfgang in his book “Lone Wolf”, interestingly before the Quote, Doug mentions these vivid memories of getting beat by Geldner, he mentions that he can not remember winning Knoxville!

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

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.

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 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!!

6-17-2010 - Folkens Brothers trucking has added another $250 to the Forbes Meats 360 Sprint Car Purse -$100 for 1st and $100 for Second and $50 for third, so the Purse for the 360 Sprints in now $2000, 1100, 750, 600, 400, 300, 250, 225, 220, 215, 210, 205, 200 to start.

On Friday we have two appearances - from 11:00 - 1:00 we will be at the State Bank of Fairmont for their annual Pork Burger Feed (See Flyer Below), then Friday Night we will be at the Murray County Speedway for their Big Buddies Night (Click Here for More Information).

We will have the Prize Wheel on hand for all of anyone that sits in the car and gets their picture taken.

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.

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.

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.

It is a JSTS Race Booth Nights - the JSTS Purse for Friday Night is $1200, 800, 600, 500, 400, 300, 250, 225, 220, 215, 210, 205, 200 to Start. For Saturday for the JSTS we have $800 in Bonus Money that will be paid out only if you were in attendance on Friday (Otherwise it will go into fuel cards the Next Week). This Money will be paid out $400 to 1st Place $200 to Second Place and $100 to each 3rd and 4th. So for those that attend on Friday the Saturday Purse is $1600, 1000, 700, 600 for the top Four.

For the 305s the Purse for Both Nights before Bonus Money is 500, 400, 300, 250, 225, 200, 175, 150, 125 to Start. There is $925 of Bonus Money for the 305's that again will be paid if you were in attendance on Friday only (Otherwise it will go to fuel cards for the Drivers the Next Week) and this will be added like this: $400, 300, 100, 100, 25. So the Saturday Purse for the 305 Sprints will be 900, 700, 400, 350, 250, 200, 175, 150 and 125 to Start.

There is also a little bonus money in the Other Classes and this will be an additional $50 to Win in the Stock Cars, Sport Mods and Hobby Stocks and and Additional $25 to win in the Hornets.

Big thanks to Ryan Voss and Brandon Shuette for helping raise the Bonus Money and I will post all of the Donors later today.

JSTS and 305 Sprint Results

5/22/2010

Results for 5/21/2010 Swindell Friedricksen pick up Spring Nationals Wins

Jon's Overall Take on the Night: Good Racing, but got done too late. How big of a Stud is Brooke Tatnell? Dead Last Starting Spot in one of the B's and finished 4th in the A ? And he passed most off those cars. Nice job Brooke. Friedrichsen

What Happened to the Time??: The Break was what hurt us the most. The hard thing is getting all the passing points calculated and then getting the guys back out there after they just raced.

I thought the track might be a little wider if we ran the 305 heats 1st.

I almost think we are better off having another class of cars, and probably could have been quicker. We also could look at an Air Horn or Something as well.

Maybe you run the 305 A right after the JSTS Heats?? But then your looking at the JSTS Dash, JSTS B's and JSTS A.....so basically every car in that class has to run again. I guess one thing that just dawned on me is that a lot of the JSTS cars ran 3 races.

On the Line Ups, we already are getting set up on Speed Net and this hopefully helps here. I dropped the ball on getting us set up on speed-net. I am not positive it this would help, but I think it might. We actually do have some classes set up and will be using it for the 1st time tonight.

Its nice having another race tonight to get right back after it...we have some room for improvement.

Tonight: I am not sure how many past champions are going to make it out. I think we have all from last year, and at least another 6 or so coming. We have several kids groups coming in, including

The Red Rock Central High School Choir will be signing the Nationals Anthem. There are a Choir of 36.

Southwest Star Concept School - this is group of kids that participated in their Fitness Awards Program that we sponsored. Jared Fisher headed up this program. I think they are bringing like 50 Kids.

Round Lake Brewster School - Community Education Program all the kids that participated in this program that we sponsored will also be in attendance. I think they are bringing over 60 Kids. Becky Standberg headed up this program.

This Morning: We are taking the show car to Trimont, MN for there Annual Greenwing Teal Ducks Unlimited Program. I guess they get over 200 kids at this event, and I am really looking forward to attending it.

$125 Season Passes (Grandstand) are now available These passes will be good on these Nights ($175 Value)

5/22, 5/29, 6/4, 6/5, 6/12, 6/18, 6/19, 6/26, 7/3 (Vehicle Pass), 7/10, 7/17, 7/24, 7/31, 8/7, 8/14, 9/4

5/21/2010

Its Finally Race Day!!! Things look Great. I think we only got a trace of rain at the track.

E-mail me at j.mccorkell@mchsi.com if you would like a flyer(s) in your business. Or would put some up for us.

Here are some pictures of Jon Speaking to the Jackson Kiwanis about the upcoming Season:

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:

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.

Sprint Car Day and Rock Rapids Elementary - Van Wyhe's had their Sprint Car out at the Rock Rapids Elementary School promoting Sprint Car Racing and Jackson Speedway. Click Here for Pictures.

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.

Thank you to all those that participated, by either making Chili, helping with the Event, Donating Prizes, or Bidding (or Auctioneering, thanks Bret Geldner)!

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!

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.

2/12/2010 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.

The Show is at the Spirit Lake Expo Center, which is behind (North of) Hy-Vee. Show times are Saturday from 10am-5pm, and Sunday from 11am-4pm.

We plan to take the Show Car area Farm and Home Shows, Swap Meets and Sports Shows this winter, and then once summer hits we are going to put it on display at Various Sponsors as well as try and get in as many parades as possible.

As you can see from the pictures it is going to have a Hot Dog Roller Built right into the Hood, as well as a Cooler built into the Tail Tank.

I can not wait to get it painted and start promoting the upcoming season with it!

1/18/2010 - We have added two new pages, one for Classifieds and one for the Go Cart Club, which may be running more Saturday Afternoons this season.

1/16/2010 Update on the RACEceiver's and Driver Profiles:

On the Race Receivers - we are going to be placing a big order to try and get some better pricing. I will post more information on this early this week (as far as pricing goes).

On The Driver Profiles: We are also starting to gather information for our Driver Profiles. We will be posting this on the web-site as well as inserting them in the programs this Season.

Click Here to check out the New Drivers Section: Greg Sidles already sent his in!

What I want to end up with is a system where you just e-mail me any updates that you want to do to your page, so we keep all of your information as current as possible. You can send me a bunch of pictures as well. Off Season Pictures of building a new car, whatever.

Here is a link to the Driver Information that we need. I can't figure out how to have it automatically open as a Word Document, but if you copy and paste this to a Word Document (or right to your e-mail that works also). E-mail the Driver Profiles to Jane at paws4you@mchsi.com.

Feel free to send them in right away, but I am going to post the on the Web-site in the order you finished in points:

Champions: The Week of January 23rd

2nd Place: The Week of January 30th

A Few of our Sprint Car Drivers made Bill W's List of Best Looking Cars for 2009. Click here for the List.

The Sioux Falls Swap Meet kicks off our 2010 Off-Season Promotional Schedule.

The Jackson Speedway Booth will be at our normal location (In the North Room, just inside the middle entrance).

I will be attending the Promoters Forum where you can ask questions of your local promoters. Others that I have heard are participating are Gary Prins (Worthington), Greg Rubin (Husets), Lyle Howey (Hartford), Chuck Zitterich (ASCS), Jeff Davis and Bill Mellenbrandt (Rock Rapids), and Glen Rapp, Tim Schwanke.

This takes place at 7:30 pm at the Armory (which is on the Fairgrounds).

Its official, we have come to terms with Elvis and he will be at the Jackson Speedway for the 33rd Annual University of Okoboji Weekend, June 4th and 5th. Click here for more information. We still have many details to work out, but he will be performing before the All Sprint Car Show on Friday June 4th and will hang around for the June 5th Race as well.

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.

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

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.

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.

After our Racing Committee Meeting last night it was decided to sanction our Hobby Stocks and B Mods with IMCA.

We also want to remind everyone that race receivers will be mandatory in all divisions.
