NEW SENOIA RACEWAY RELEASES 2011 SCHEDULE

By Katherine Adams

(Senoia, GA) New Senoia Raceway released it’s 2011 schedule of stock car racing featuring twenty-six events. Senoia Saturday Nights will kick-off the second season of racing under the direction of Tim and Tony Moses on Saturday, April 2nd. The track will operate each and every Saturday night with the exception of Labor Day weekend through the end of September with action in the Late Models, Crate Late Models, B-Cadets, Hobby Stock and Mini Stock divisions.

In addition to the night short track racing action on the high-banked 3/8ths mile clay speedway, New Senoia Raceway will feature family oriented, fun promotional events including kid’s bicycle racing, rides in the race cars, watermelon eating contests and for the first time ever a ‘waterless’ boat race. Each event will feature fan friendly events to enhance the Saturday night experience at the facility just west of Senoia on Georgia 16.

“The racing action is the center piece of our weekly show,” said promoter Tim Moses, “But, we want to entertain our guests throughout the evening. We want them to have fun, enjoy themselves and want to come back often to see the whole show again.”

The 2011 schedule will feature special events for all of the weekly divisions including the Spring Fling for the Late Models on April 9th, the Summer Sizzler for the Hobby Stock on June 25th and Mini Stock Mania on August 20th. The weekly series will also feature a pair of double points nights and a double feature night in September before culminating with the season championships on September 24th.

The highly anticipated Crate Late Model special has been slated for May 21st as the NeSmith Chevrolet Crate Late Model Series comes into the speedway for the first time. Last season’s scheduled event was scrapped after rains washed away most of the tour’s schedule at nearby tracks.

“This will bring in some of the very best crate late model drivers from around the southeastern region to take on our crate late model contingent,” said Moses. “This should be one of the most competitive events on the schedule this year.”

The USCS Sprint Cars will also return for three events in 2011. The winged warriors will return for the two night Senoia Summer Nationals in late August and they will also be on hand mother’s day weekend for a huge single night show. Competitors from twelve states competed at the USCS Sprint Car events last year.

“The fans really wanted to see the sprint cars again,” Moses added. “They put on such a great show at New Senoia. It really left no doubt in our minds about their return.”

New Senoia Raceway will be open for three practices prior to the season opener. Race fans are invited to watch the practice sessions on March 12, 19 and 26 for free as the grandstands will be open to the public. Times and additional information will be available on the speedway’s website.

Senoia Saturday Night scheduled gate times include an opening at 5:00pm for the pit area and trackside parking. The grandstands will open at 6:00pm with hot laps set to begin at 7:00pm and racing at 8:00pm.
