\"\"<\/a>Auburndale Speedway, FL (Saturday, September 24, 2011) \u2013 Please plan to join us as Auburndale Speedway, family and friends of Bryan K. Wescott, Sr. celebrate his life by hosting the Bryan Wescott Sr. Memorial 100 for Super Late Models this coming September 24th., 2011.<\/p>\n

As many may remember Bryan built and successfully campaigned first a Sportsman car then his Late Model #3 (usually the roman numeral #III) on the short tracks of mid-west Florida for many years until his tragic accident at Sunshine Speedway on August 16, 1986, which ended his racing career.<\/p>\n

Bryan passed away from a heat-stroke he suffered 15-years later on August 30th, 2001, at the young age of 41 while working at his job. Married to wife Jackie in 1982, Bryan left behind four wonderful children, Bryan Jr., Bryana, Blake and Brittney Wescott. Those that knew Bryan personally will agree that not only was he a good shoe in a Late Model but you could not find a more dedicated Husband, Father, Son, Brother, or friend.<\/p>\n

This event marks the tenth anniversary of Bryan\u2019s untimely passing. Bryan\u2019s talented daughter Bryana, a graduate of Clearwater Christian College with a major in Music Education will be singing the National Anthem in honor of her father\u2019s memorial race so needless to say it will be an emotional moment for her.<\/p>\n

Auburndale Speedway, family and friends of Bryan have strived to put together what should be one of the biggest Super Late Model events of the year in the State of Florida with a payout expected to attract an impressive list of the big guns in the class.<\/p>\n

24 Late Model hot shoes will be racing for the $5,000 to win, $3,000 for second place and $1,500 for third place with a graduating purse totaling $17,750.<\/p>\n

The race will be limited to 24 cars to start. The 20 fastest qualifiers will line-up as they qualified with the exception of the top eight (8) qualifiers who will pull pills just before the start of the race to keep things interesting. There will be a Late Model \u2018B\u2019 Main whereby the top two finishers will start 21st. & 22nd. in the main event accordingly. Then the Speedway and the Wescott family will chose the last two provisional starting positions of 23rd & 24th respectively.<\/p>\n

This is actually a 2-day event whereby the Speedway is providing a practice or set-up night for the Super Late Models on Friday night, September 23rd, from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM for those that want to prepare for the following night\u2019s main event. The entry fee for Friday night\u2019s practice is $15 per person however the Speedway is providing food (hot dogs & hamburgers) as well as cold beer included in the fee! Everyone is welcome to attend Friday\u2019s set-up night but only the Super Late Models will be able to practice.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s schedule is as follows: Super Late Model practice \u2013 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, then from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM. All other classes practice \u2013 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Super Late Model qualifying starts at 5:30 to 6:00 PM and the show starts at 7:00 PM.<\/p>\n

Other classes on the card for Saturday night\u2019s show along with the Late Models are the Legend Cars, Mod-Mini\u2019s, Pro-Challenge, Mini Cups, Street Stocks, Scramblers and Bandoleros.<\/p>\n

Even though this is a \u201cSpecial Event\u201d the Speedway is keeping its general admission prices down to its regular event fees which is General Admission – $12, Seniors – $10, Kids 5-12 – $5, age 4 and under \u2013 FREE and a Family 4-Pack (Two Adults\/Two Kids) – $25.<\/p>\n

Please bring the entire family and plan to attend what promises to be one of the most exciting nights of short-track stock car racing of the year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
