FREMONT, Ohio - In an effort
to entice more drivers to take the "Fremont
Speedway Shuffle," the rules
governing who is eligible for the challenge
have been altered.
In the Fort Ball Pizza Palace
410 Sprints, the "Shuffle" challenge will
still be offered to the
front row starters. If either the pole-sitter or the
outside front row starter
decide to move back to the 10th (pole-starter) or
11th starting spot (outside
front row starter) and can storm through the
pack and get the win, they
would earn an extra $1,000 for a $3,500 payday!
In the Fremont Federal Credit
Union 305 Sprints and Fremont Fence Dirt
Trucks, anyone of the top
six in that week's average points could get the
opportunity to take the
"Shuffle." Each regular season race night, Fremont
Speedway Trophy Queen Callie
Dewald will draw one playing card from among an
ace to a six. The driver
starting in that position in the feature will be
given the opportunity to
take the challenge and move to the row behind that
night's inversion. For the
305 sprints, that inversion will either be a 6, 8
or 10 and for the trucks
that inversion will either be an 8, 10 or 12.
If the driver eligible accepts
the "Shuffle" challenge in the 305 sprints
and/or trucks, they could
win an extra $500!
"We have been getting feedback
from a lot of the drivers on the Fremont
Speedway Shuffle. Many felt
it punished the driver who is leading the
average points each week
and quite a few said they would love to take the
challenge, but felt they
might not ever get the opportunity. We hope the new
system gives more drivers
the chance to take the challenge and put on a show
for our fans," said Fremont
Speedway Co-Promoter Andy James.
"We want to give that money
away...because if we do, that means a driver put
on one heck of a drive and
that creates fun and excitement," added Rich
Farmer, co-promoter.
