Here's a link to a Facebook video. It's the highlights from our 2012 Pelican 100 DVD. This will quickly explain our tendency to call Ark-La-Tex Speedway the "Land of THREE-wide!"

Hotel deal for the Pelican 100! Days Inn Bossier City off I-20 beside Old Minden Road (exit 21). $45 single OR DOUBLE! Ask for Ark-La-Tex Speedway rate. The hotel is 45 min from the Speedway (just about all of them are) but this one is also located 3 miles from the casinos, plus there's a mall, a Texas Road House, an Outback, a Chili's and lots of other stuff near by. Get a room booked while you can. Won't last long at this rate...

Tonight (practice) will be the coolest night of the three. May see upper 40s as we're finishing up.

Friday race temps should be around 60 down to the mid-50s and Saturday will be in the 60s with a warm southern breeze! The first 2 years, the 100 has gone green before 10PM Saturday too!

All the drivers are confident about the weather, about the track, about the show! That means the best possible turnout even with the other reschedules so come on down!!! http://www.4m.net/images/smilies/cool.png
