Lernerville Speedway's $30,000 Firecracker 100 Prize Is Pot Of Gold At End Of World of Outlaws Late Model Series 'Great Northern Tour'
Five-Race Swing Through Northeast Culminates With Blockbuster Western Pennsylvania Event On June 29-30
SARVER, PA - June 9, 2007 - There's a giant pot of gold waiting for drivers at the end of the World of Outlaws Late Model Series 'Great Northern Tour.'
After the World of Outlaws stars traipse across the Northeast to run four races in a seven-day span beginning on June 20, they'll culminate the ambitious swing in western Pennsylvania on June 29-30 by running the inaugural $30,000-to-win Firecracker 100 at Lernerville Speedway.
Over $140,000 in purse awards will be on the line during the Firecracker 100 weekend, which promises to be one of the most memorable events in the history of the WoO LMS. A champion-filled field of 100 or more dirt Late Model drivers is expected to test their skills on the high-banked, four-tenths-mile Lernerville oval, a track renowned for its multi-groove, side-by-side racing.
"The Firecracker 100 will be the cherry on top of a spectacular stretch of racing for the World of Outlaws Late Model Series," said Tim Christman, the director of the WoO LMS. "Fans in central Pennsylvania, Canada and upstate New York will have a chance to check out our thrilling brand of dirt Late Model racing, and then everyone will gather at Lernerville to bring the 'Great Northern Tour' to a close with a major 'bang.'
"We want this to be the start of an annual trip through the Northeast for the World of Outlaws Late Model Series that racers and fans mark on their calendars months in advance."
The WoO LMS's march to Lernerville begins on Wed., June 20, at Port Royal (Pa.) Speedway, then continues on Sat., June 23, at Autodrome Drummond in Drummondville, Que.; Sun., June 24, at Cayuga County Fair Speedway in Weedsport, N.Y.; and Wed., June 27, at Stateline Speedway in Busti, N.Y.
Port Royal Speedway, a venerable, half-mile fairgrounds oval 50 miles northwest of Harrisburg, Pa., will host the WoO LMS for the first time in its history. A track that runs dirt Late Models as part of its weekly racing card that is headlined by 410 Sprint Cars, Port Royal will give the full-fender set a chance to shine with a huge 40-lap mid-week special paying $7,000 to win.
The 'Great Northern Tour' will make a run for the northern border on Sat., June 23, traveling to Quebec's Autodrome Drummond to contest the first-ever WoO LMS event in Canada. Fans of the longtime DIRTcar Racing-sanctioned track are buzzing with anticipation for the historic 50-lap, $10,000-to-win event.
An overnight haul will bring the WoO LMS to Cayuga County Fair Speedway on Sun., June 24, for another 50-lap A-Main paying $10,000 to win. The program will reprise last year's wildly successful WoO LMS show at the three-eighths-mile oval, a DIRTcar big-block Modified haven that was filled to capacity for Late Model action.
Another mid-week event is set for Wed., June 27, at Stateline Speedway on the New York/Pennsylvania border. The 40-lap, $7,000-to-win A-Main will mark the third straight season that the WoO LMS visits the track.
And then it all ends at Lernerville Speedway with the 'Biggest Stock Car Race in Western Pennsylvania History.' Time trials are set for Fri., June 29, with heat races, B-Mains, the $3,000-to-win 'Uncle Sam 30' (for the top 24 drivers who fail to make the A-Main) and the Firecracker 100 comprising the Sat., June 30, card.
Advance two-day tickets and reserved camping spots for the Firecracker are selling fast. General admission for the two days of action is $39 for adults and FREE for children under 10; reserved seats are just $42 for both days; and two-day pit passes are $40 for DIRTcar Members and $50 for non-members.
As an added bonus, purchasing two-day tickets in advance provides fans free entry to the pit area on Friday night and exclusive access to a driver autograph session on Saturday afternoon.
Other exciting features of the weekend include a tailgate contest and post-race concert on Friday night sponsored by 'Pittsburgh's Best Country' radio station Y-108 featuring local country/rock band Nomad and national recording artist Vanessa Campagna; two nights of fireworks; and much, much more.
