Samsula, Fla. (June 9, 2004) With last weekend's rainout, the Homer Gordon Memorial Sportsman 50 lapper has been scheduled for this Saturday night at New Smyrna Speedway. Homer Gordon was a member of the FASCAR family for many years and died suddenely last year. We honor Homer and miss him everyday.
Also returning from last weekend's rainout will be the Classic Cars. This will be their first appearance this year at New Smyrna Speedway and drivers and fans are looking forward to seeing them run again.
With five races down on their schedule, Ben Booth leads the points for the Classics and has won three out of five races. Two weeks ago Cory Freed, better known in the No. 12 Super Stock at Orlando SpeedWorld, took his first feature win in a Classic Car. Cory is sure to do well at New Smyrna along with State Senator Bill Posey of Rockledge.
