FREMONT - Fremont Speedway is planning a big "bang" for the Fourth of July
weekend. Coors Light Night, Saturday, July 5, will honor those who have made
the sacrifice to ensure freedom for all of us. "A Salute to our Military Men
and Women: America's Heroes" promises an entire  day and evening of food,
fun, fireworks and racing.

Ohio Governor Ted Strickland will also be on hand to pay tribute to the
area's brave men and women just prior to the night's racing action. Gov.
Strickland will also wave the green flag to begin the night's action.
Besides the evening's racing action, there will be food, fun, games and
entertainment in the historic Sandusky County Fairgrounds throughout the
day. There will be fireworks - both on and off the track. And, all military
personnel who provide valid military identification will be admitted free to
the night's racing action.

The drivers in the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints will be competing for
$3,500 to win the 40 lap feature, while the feature for the Fremont Federal
Credit Union Sprints will pay $1,000 to win and the Fremont Fence Dirt
Trucks will be battling for $500 to win. Ludwig Propane will also sponsor
the "On the Gas for Cash Dash" for the 410 sprints.

And the race drivers won't be the only ones going home with cash...some
lucky fan will go away with $500! All the racers will sign footballs prior
to the racing action. The footballs will then be tossed into the stands.
Whoever holds the football with the name of the 410 sprint feature winning
driver will get $500. Fremont Speedway Promoters Rich Farmer and Andy James
may also have a few more surprises up their sleeves for the fans on July 5.

The day's events kick off at noon in the fairgrounds as all branches of the
military - Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard Air National Guard,
etc. - will have displays, handouts and games. These will include military
vehicles, a race car simulator and a rock climbing wall. There will also be
bands playing throughout the day, including Rick Sebetto and Black River.

Also, several non-profit groups will be selling t-shirts and other patriotic
items to raise funds for veterans and military service organizations.

The first 2,000 fans through the gates on July 5 will receive a free
American flag. And, prior to the 410 sprint feature, fans will be treated to
a fireworks display.

Gates will open at 4 p.m. with racing getting underway at 7 p.m.
