Ponderosa Speedway Cancels March 29 Practice; 2013 Season Opener Goes Friday April 5

Junction City, KY- March 26, 2013- Ponderosa Speedway track promoter Larry Yantz and co-promoters Chad and Sarah Yantz are anxious to begin the 2013 racing season, but they are going to have to cancel the open practice that scheduled for this Friday evening March 29 at the 3/8 mile D-shaped red clay oval better known as “Kentucky’s Baddest Bullring”.

Due to the unseasonable cool and unfavorable weather conditions the past week, track officials haven’t been able to get everything in place like they wanted, so the decision was made to cancel the practice and make sure all is ready for the season opening event set for Friday April 5.
