BARBERVILLE, FL- This Saturday’s racing schedule at Volusia Speedway Park, headlined by the Jack Miller Memorial “Holy Cow 25” featuring the Sprint Cars sponsored by Bruce Rossmeyer’s Daytona Harley-Davidson, just got a little richer as a new “Dash for Cash” been added to an already exciting card. Volusia Speedway lost one of its own racers over the holiday weekend as two time champion Dennis North passed away. In addition to racers passing their helmets in order to benefit his surviving family, the “Dash for Cash” will honor North’s memory by giving something to the racers in the two divisions in which North competed.
Dennis North was well known as the driver of the number 88 “Low Buck Racing” machines in both the Thunder Stock and Street Stock Divisions, and with that in mind the Volusia Speedway Thunder Stocks, and the Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks, will participate in an 8 lap Dash for Cash that will pay $88 to the winner. The competitors will race together with top finishers awarded in their respective division, plus other prizes which will be announced on Saturday Night. Family and friends of Dennis North are also arranging for an auction/raffle to take place as well, again benefiting North’s wife and young child.
Fans are asked to remember Dennis North in a show of support to the family by wearing their Low Buck Racing shirts, or by wearing red to the races on Saturday night. Gates open at 5:30 with racing set to get underway at 7PM, featuring Florida’s top sprint cars in the Jack Miller Memorial “Holy Cow 25” plus the Florida Mini Sprint Association. And in addition to the two divisions running in the Dash for Cash events, fans will see action from the Daytona Machine Shop Sportsman Division, the Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks, the Volusia Speedway Thunder Stocks, and the Sparkle and Shine Car Wash Challengers. The Daytona Antique Auto Racing Association will also be present and running their wide variety of vintage race cars.
