Southern Oregon Speedway to Host ASCS Northwest Opener
The Northwest Region begins the season with a two-day show at Southern Oregon Speedway near Medford, Ore.
The May 8-9 races are the first-ever two-day sprint car event at the track, which will host the first Speedweek race – July 13 – as well.
“To have the opening event of ASCS, we feel is an honor,” said Richard Barney, a managing partner of the track. “It’s extremely exciting for us.”
The 3/8th mile, semi-banked clay oval opened in 1996 and featured one ASCS events last season – won by Jonathan Allard.
Barney calls the track “in-your-face racing” highlighted by a grassy hill for spectators. The knoll, located off turn one, holds approximately 2,000 general admission observers.
“A lot of people like the grassy knoll,” Barney said. “It’s a great place to watch racing. It’s all about fun and entertainment for us.”
