2012 "Plymouth Palooza" USAC'S 1s DIRT / PAVEMENT DOUBLE-HERADER
Race is set for next July 6th & July 7th 2012
For those that don't know Plymouth Speedway in Indiana is an asphalt track just about 23 miles south of South Bend, Indiana and is owned by ARCA driver Ed Kennedy. Story below.
2012 "Plymouth Palooza" USAC'S 1st DIRT/PAVEMENT "DOUBLEHEADER"
The inaugural "Plymouth Palooza" at Plymouth Speedway is scheduled for next July 6 and 7 and will mark a "first" for USAC racing in the club's 57 year-history.
Never before has a single facility hosted dirt and pavements events for the same USAC racing series on the same weekend! A brand new dirt oval is being constructed inside the existing 3/8-mile paved oval and the July 6 races will be conducted on the paved oval with the July 7 races being held on the dirt oval.
The Mopar USAC National Midgets and the USAC Midwest Ford Focus Midgets share the billing in this unique event.
"USAC has a long and storied history but this will be a first for us," says USAC President/CEO Kevin Miller. "The idea of a sigle facility hosting both dirt and pavement events for the same series presents a challenge for our participants while giving our race fans a truly unique racing experience. We are always looking for innovations in our motorsports programs and this could be and idea which could expand."
Plymouth Speedway Owner Ed Kennedis ecstatic about this upcoming event. "I really enjoy the USAC events at Plymouth and we've had some incredible racing in recent years. This program should offer race fans something the've never seen before and a weekend they will long remember."
Kyle Hamilton scored a Moparr D1/STARS Midget victory, Jams Robert won a 100 lap Ford Focus feature and Sam McGhee won a USAC Ford Focus Young Guns race at Plymouth this season.
