Quarter-Mile Oval Annually Produces Some Of The National Tour’s Most Heart-Stopping Racing
GRAND FORKS, ND – July 12, 2012 – Tim McCreadie pretty much summed up the essence of River Cities Speedway after winning the high-banked, quarter-mile oval’s World of Outlaws Late Model Series event last year.
“This place is a bad-ass, racy little joint,” McCreadie raved while standing – drenched in sweat and breathing heavily – in Victory Lane. “It’s a long ways away from home, but it’s fun to come here. If you sleep for a lap or take it easy for a lap, the next thing you know you’re getting passed.”
Indeed, there’s no track on the WoO LMS schedule that has consistently produced wilder, more exciting racing in recent years than River Cities, a whipsaw of a speedway that will host the renowned national full-fender tour for the seventh consecutive season this Friday night (July 13). The evening’s featured attraction, the Seven Clans Casinos 50, boasts a $10,000 top prize and is part of the World of Outlaws circuit’s ‘Wild West Tour’ that visits tracks in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and Manitoba.
McCreadie, 38, of Watertown, N.Y., became the latest winner of a WoO LMS thriller at River Cities last year with a drive that left his body physically drained, his Sweeteners Plus wheezing and the track’s fans buzzing. Pounding the blazing-fast track’s cushion for the second half of the race, he passed Jimmy Mars of Menomonie, Wis., for the lead on lap 31 and spent the remainder of the distance battling to stay out front in an event that saw four drivers in contention for the win on the final lap.
