Hometown Racing Association Takes Control Of Holiday-Weekend Racing & Concert After Cancelation Of \u2018Bullring Bonanza\u2019 Raffle<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"20130421-093450.jpg\"MIDDLEBOURNE, WV \u2013\u00a0May 10, 2013\u00a0\u2013 Thanks to John Watson and the Hometown Racing Association, the huge World of Outlaws Late Model Series \u2018Jackpot 100\u2019 doubleheader on\u00a0May 25-26at Tyler County Speedway is steaming full speed ahead.<\/p>\n

Any uncertainty about the status of the national tour\u2019s Memorial Day weekend visit to the quarter-mile oval in the hills of West Virginia following last week\u2019s cancelation of the \u2018Bullring Bonanza\u2019 mega-raffle by the Tyler County Fireman\u2019s Association due to lack of ticket sales was erased by a quick response from Watson and Co.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Jackpot 100 is our big Memorial Day weekend event,\u201d said Watson, who heads the Hometown Racing Association group that was formed to operate Tyler County Speedway this season. \u201cWe want to have this weekend feature World of Outlaws racing for a long time to come, so canceling this whole race because the Fireman\u2019s Association\u2019s plans for the \u2018Bonanza\u2019 raffle did not work out would not have been good for the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to make sure this World of Outlaws Late Model Series event at Tyler County Speedway continues to build in the coming years, so, after sitting down with everyone on the Hometown Racing Association, we decided to step up and take over the promotion and running of the racing and concert portions of the weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even with the cancelation of the \u2018Bonanza\u2019 mega-raffle, there is still a spectacular lineup of entertainment that the Hometown Racing Association will administer over the Memorial Day weekend. In addition to the $100,000-plus WoO LMS doubleheader \u2013 a 30-lap, $6,000-to-win A-Main on\u00a0Sat., May 25, and a 70-lap finale paying $15,000 to win on\u00a0Sun., May 26\u00a0\u2013 the group will also oversee a preliminary night of racing on\u00a0Thurs., May 23, that includes support-division qualifying and the much-anticipated country concert on\u00a0Fri., May 24, featuring Colt Ford, Justin Moore and Zack Paxson.<\/p>\n

Admission to all four nights of the Tyler County holiday spectacular is included in a single super ticket being sold for $80. The tickets, which also include pit admission, can be purchased in advance by calling the ticket hotline at 304-771-5661 or 304-771-4883. Single-day tickets for admission to the races and concert are also being sold.<\/p>\n

Fans who purchased $100 \u2018Bullring Bonanza\u2019 raffle tickets can use them as all-access pass tickets to the three nights of racing and the country concert (they will also receive a $20 refund), or they will be refunded their entire $100 purchase price if they can\u2019t attend the weekend\u2019s events.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere else can you go for $80 and get the caliber of entertainment that we\u2019ll have at Tyler County Speedway on Memorial Day weekend?\u201d concluded Watson.<\/p>\n

Watson and the Hometown Racing Association are working hard within a short time frame to present the weekend, which also includes the $7,555-to-win \u2018Let It Ride 55\u2019 for the Renegades of Dirt Modifieds Tour and a $2,000-to-win Fastrak Crate Late Model event. Both the Dirt Modified and Crate Late Model races will be contested in conjunction with the WoO LMS doubleheader on\u00a0May 25-26.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to have two nights of World of Outlaws racing as well as the Renegade Dirt Modified show and the Fastrak race,\u201d said Watson. \u201cIt means a lot to us, the fans and everyone in Tyler County to have a huge national-level racing event like this<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that a lot of people have vacation plans to come to Tyler County Speedway over the Memorial Day weekend,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe didn\u2019t want to ruin people\u2019s plans by canceling the weekend and have them get a bad outlook on Tyler County Speedway because of it. We realized that, for the good of the fans, the racers, the track and all the businesses in the county that benefit from the race, we had to push on with the event and that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n
