This week’s two biggest stories:
Terry Keeney will re-open the old 441 Speedway in Dublin in 2008 as the Dublin USA Music & Motorsports Park. The 3/8s asphalt track has been closed since 2001.
Keeney’s background is in concert tour promotion, television production, and fund raising for charities, and he plans to have a variety of races and entertainment events at the 700-acre facility. Rodeo tuff-cowboy shows, monster trucks, lumberjacks, and televised races are planned, with a schedule release planned in Dec.
The track will host traveling racing series during the spring and fall. No weekly racing is planned.
In Dec., Kerry Earnhardt and his sons are visiting Dublin for a deer hunt, including a meet-and-greet at the Macon Bass Pro Shop and a hog roast fund raiser.
The track is located south of Dublin on Hwy. 441, six miles off I-16.
Jonathan Masters claims in the December issue of Dirt Late Model that there are more than 60 dirt short track races yearly paying $10,000 or more to win.
Another short track stats guru, Steve Hixson, writes that he knows of 110 dirt short track races in 2007 paying $10,000 or more, and 125 paying between $5,000 and $9,999 - and 67 of those were in the South.
We’re looking for some stats on asphalt big money races.
