Something old, something new...Fremont Speedway to embark on 57th 
racing season
By Brian Liskai
FREMONT, Ohio (Friday, Feb. 1, 2008) - What do you get when you 
combine a historic race track with new promoters? At Fremont Speedway, you 
get a 2008 schedule that incorporates new, exciting events and brings back 
some of the tradition the loyal race fans have come to enjoy.

      "When Andy (James) and myself decided we wanted to promote races at 
Fremont Speedway, we knew we had a lot of work to do, but it would be easy 
because of the tradition and relationships Jim Ford and his family built and 
nurtured," said Rich Farmer, co-promoter at "The Track That Action Built."

      "We knew there were events the race fans and drivers really liked and 
those they wanted to be back on the schedule," continued Farmer. "There's 
something for every fan on our schedule from special 410 sprint races to the 
fair race showcasing the trucks to the late models coming back and the 305 
sprint invitational."

      The 57th season of racing features three visits by the traveling 
O'Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions sprint car group, and the return of
