WAYCROSS, GA (March 19, 2012) – The “Indiana Icebreaker” at Brownstown Speedway in Brownstown IN, sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, is set for this Saturday, March 24th. The event will pay $10,000 to win and $800 to start. A large group of both national stars and strong regional drivers is expected to converge on the ¼ mile track to compete in the annual event.
This weekend’s events will get under away a little earlier than in years past. Grandstands and Pit Gates will both open at 1PM on Saturday. Driver’s registration will be from 1:00PM until 4:15PM. A special driver’s autograph session will take place in the midway outside of the main grandstands from 3:15PM until 4:00PM. The Drivers Meeting will take place at 4:15 PM with Hot Laps getting underway at 4:45PM.
Race fans are encouraged to arrive early and visit the vendor midway area as numerous souvenir trailers, driver merchandise trailers, and several displays will be on hand for fans to visit. Along with the other merchandise trailers, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series official merchandise vendor, ASI Racewear, will be on site with all the latest Official LOLMDS merchandise.
The MAVTV Tent will be set up in the midway, and the MAVTV Girls will be on hand to pass out numerous free gifts to fans that register at the MAVTV booth. General Tire and Canidae Pet Foods will also have free giveaways for fans that support the event this coming weekend.
This event will be the first for the LOLMDS since the DART Winternationals at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, FL back in February. Dennis Erb Jr. of Carpentersville, IL leads the LOLMDS Championship Point’s Standings with a slim 35 point advantage over 2011 LOLMDS Champion Jimmy Owens. Steve Francis, Randy Korte, and Jonathan Davenport round out the Top-5.
