Fans and drivers should also make note the 2007 racing schedule is pretty much complete with the exception of some minor changes. It is on the schedule link at www.columbusspeedway.net . The schedule offers virtually everything a race fan could want by keeping a fresh combination of top drivers from all over the south and the country coming to Columbus, Mississippi to compete with the best drivers in the area throughout the season.
A sampling of the upcoming schedule will include the month of March. The Bullring will be roaring early and often when the days are still short and traction is still high. It’s hammer down time on the wild 3/10’s mile high banked clay oval in the month of March featuring the Rebel Challenge weekend on March 9th and 10th and the return of the DIRT Motorsports World of Outlaws Late Models in the “Bullring Brawl.” It is a strong way to get the season underway with action being held at both Columbus Speedway and Magnolia Motor Speedway.
