Schaeffer’s Iron-Man Late Model Series Heads to 201 Speedway for Paul H. Salyer Memorial October 7th
SOMERSET, KY (October 2, 2017)—The Schaeffer’s Oil Iron-Man Championship Late Model Series will roll into the Steve and Stan Howard-promoted 201 Speedway in Sitka, Ky. on Saturday October 7th for the Paul H. Salyer Memorial paying $3,000-to-win and $250-to-start.
The event honors Paul Hudson Salyer, known to many as “The Judge” who was a legendary racer from Magoffin County, Kentucky and he also served as County Judge Executive in that county. He passed away at 76 years of age from natural causes. He served three terms as county Judge Executive in Magoffin County. Salyer raced all over the region and was invited to run some national events but chose to stay close to home to be close to his family and wife Marcella and his children which included Steve “Frito” Howard, Stan “Snowbird” Howard and Cole Hudson Salyer all of which have been involved in dirt track racing for decades. Paul also had two other sons from a previous marriage which included Donald Paul Salyer and Joe Salyer. Joe also raced with Paul and Steve Howard at the former Salyersville Speedway and helped build the track in the 1960’s. Steve Howard is a former competitor and also worked at Half Mountain Speedway and his brother Stan was a long-time crew member for Steve and also worked at the track. Cole also drove a race car briefly. This race pays tribute to a legendary competitor and when folks from around the area say him coming, they would say “Here Comes the Judge”.
This will mark the fourth-ever event for the series at the 201 Speedway as Greg Johnson, Jackie Boggs and Eric Wells captured victories during series visits in 2016 to 201 Speedway. The track has hosted three events so far in 2017 as Chris Combs, Zack Dohm and Brandon Fouts have all been victorious in the Tim Short Auto Group-sponsored Super Late Model division.
The Schaeffer’s Oil Iron-Man Championship Super Late Model Series has seen 13 different winners in 13 events. Shanon Buckingham (Boyd’s), Kenny Collins (I-75), David Payne (Blue Ridge), Tyler Carpenter (Richmond), Tommy Kerr (Smoky Mountain), Chris Combs (Ponderosa), Vic Hill (Tazewell), Freddie Carpenter (Richmond), Hudson O’Neal (Ponderosa), Tanner English (Brownstown), Brian Smith (Tazewell), T.J. Reaid (Smoky Mountain), Skylar Marlar (Lake Cumberland) have all picked up wins so far on the tour with two events remaining.
