FREMONT,
Ohio (June 4) - Fremont Speedway promoter Jim Ford has
announced several changes to the 2002 schedule.
The All Star Circuit of Champions will try for the third
time in 2002 to compete at "The Track That Action
Built" on Saturday, June 8. This make-up show is
sponsored by Wilhelm Auto Parts and will pay $5,000 to
win for the All Star Sprints. It promises to be highly
competitive show...in fact, there have been nine different
winners in the last nine All Star shows at Fremont.
The 305 sprints and dirt trucks will also be in competition
on June 8.
Also, the Budweiser 40, which was rained out on May 25,
will be run on Tuesday, July 2, when Fremont hosts the
third leg of the All Star Ohio Sprint Speedweek. The feature
will pay $6,000 to win and $500 to start. The dirt trucks
will also be on the racing card.
The fifth leg of the All Star Ohio Sprint Speedweek will
run at Fremont on Thursday, July 4, and thanks to Miller
Beer sponsorship, will also pay $6,000 to win and $500
to start. The 305 sprints will compete that night also.
New sponsor Burkin Custom Trailers/United Expressline
Trailers will back the racing on Saturday, July 13. The
410 sprint feature will pay $2,500 to win, with the 305
sprints paying $500 to win and the dirt trucks $300 to
win.
Roots Poultry, which has originally planned to sponsor
the May 11 show, which was rained out, will sponsor the
Aug. 3 racing with all three divisions in action.
Other big shows coming up at Fremont include:
*Thursday, June 20, the second leg of the Buckeye Nationals,
featuring the USAC non-wing sprints and midgets. The racing
is sponsored by Fort Ball Pizza.
