Silver Dollar Nationals II Update
First, the Owners of I-80 Speedway would like to thank all the drivers, crews and fans for making the Silver Dollar Nationals a great event. It simply would not have been possible without your support.
Secondly, we would like to apologize to all those who have been waiting for word on the possibility of a Silver Dollar Nationals II. We initially said we would make an announcement last Tuesday but we simply did not have enough information to do so. There are many questions still to be answered if possible; race date, sanctioning bodies, sponsorship, etc.
We are certainly interested in holding another Silver Dollar Nationals and would prefer the same weekend, the same format, the same rules, and the same two classes of cars if possible. We just need to gather more information before making any kind of announcement.
Last Friday, Joe Kosiski went to Wheatland, Missouri to meet with officials of both, the Lucas Oil Series and the Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA), as well as Forrest Lucas about the Late Model portion of the Silver Dollar Nationals. As many of you know, Todd Staley and the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) were busy in Minnesota with the World Modified Championships all last week, so we have not been able to have any discussion with Todd.
We are continuing to work through these many issues and ask for your patience and understanding as we do so. When we have gathered the necessary information to make a further announcement on Silver Dollar Nationals II, we will certainly do so.
