[FASTRAKPR]

The ULTIMATE Battle of the Bluegrass Super Late Model Series will start off the 2018 campaign with the largest purse in series history at Daugherty Speedway in Bosewell, IN. The “(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) Potts Memorial” is scheduled for May 26th and 27th and will pay $10,000 to win and $500 to start with a total purse of $34,500. It will be the first visit to Daugherty Speedway for the ULTIMATE Battle of the Bluegrass. The race is also a bonus race opportunity for drivers in other regions of ULTIMATE Super Late Models.

The Memorial Day weekend event will draw the top regional Super Late Model drivers from the surrounding states as they look to claim the $10,000 pay day. Saturday, May 26th will see the Super Late Models hit the track for hot laps, qualifying, and heat races. The fastest qualifier will receive $100. All B-Mains and the $10,000 to win 50-lap (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) Potts Memorial will be ran on May 27th. All drivers not making the feature will be paid $100 tow money.

Im willing to give this track another chance for this race but fool me twice and there won't be a third.

[golddirt]

Should be plenty of room to sit

Top roll wide open. No lines at the food stand. and no wate time in bath rooms.

Wow! That’s being positive guys. True race supporters

[dmr37]

I agree. Give the place another chance

[TheJet-09]

I like the place, truly! Some crazy fast racing every time I've been there. Bent a shock or two, but hey...

I will say this looks like a pretty top heavy purse though. Curious to see what the car count will end up being.

[golddirt]

The place is fine, it's the owner. Him I will NOT support under any circumstance.

[Mindwalker]

Top notch facility and excellent racing... When Kamps had it. The goof running it now could care less about what he has, it would appear. Darn shame too, seen some great racing there.smh

[golddirt]

You are dead on the money phil. And it's only 1/2 hour from my back door

[TackyTracker]

Babb will win it but I might head over anyway.. Wheatland is pretty far so maybe they will have a good count

[dmr37]

Why is the owner a goof?

[HoosierDirtFan]

Why is the owner a goof?

He's ran off more cars and teams then body parts a human might have. Former UMP Street Stock Champion Jarred Krick lives just up the street in Earl Park, Indiana and won't race there. He race a Macon before he would race at Daugherty last year. The rules are a joke and so is his attitude.

Supposedly he owns a computer IT company in Lafayette, Indiana and possibly one other business. I think that is how he was about to afford to buy the track.

Let me tell you all this. The real reason he bought and opened up Daugherty (A.K.A. Kamp. Boswell, In) was to try and close down Shadyhill Speedway in Medaryville, Indiana and try to steal cars and teams away; because he was black flagged from a feature at Shadyhill and then proceeded to throw a fit in the pits with track officials and subsequently bared from the track for good. I know this because I was at Shadyhill that night and I remember reading some of his dumb comments on Facebook after the accident and when he bought the track in Boswell, Indiana.

The only reason I was there the 1st race was to help a friend. Because it was the only track open that night in the region.

The track is on Friday's this year & Danville, Il is on Saturdays.

We had said before we will never race at Daugherty. Farmer City is close to 160-170 miles from are shop and we would race there before we would ever race Daugherty Speedway which is about 95 miles from our shop in Portage, Indiana just off I-80 / I-94.

^^ That should explain a little bit to ya.

He just might be the most ignorant and arrogant person I've ever come across at a race track or in life.

I don't have anything against the track or the facilities just the goof running it.

[golddirt]

Well folks there you go Nathan just wrapped it all up for you in a nice neat little package

[Cardirt0]

When Nathan slams someone you know its got to be bad.. And It is. Guy is a Moron.

Michael is the biggest idiot this side of the Mississippi. He's ran off more cars and teams then body parts a human might have.

I thought you said before that K3's Tom Smith was the biggest idiot east of the Mississippi.

[HoosierDirtFan]

I thought you said before that K3's Tom Smith was the biggest idiot east of the Mississippi.

I said that before this guy took over the track in Boswell, In. I've re canted that statement and have apologized to Tom as he not the goof he might have been in the past. We race there once last year and he thanked us for coming.

The thing with Daughtery is the facilities are good but Michael is absolutely one rude sun of a gun. The sad part is I remember reading a post on Facebook he posted and said something about his WILL; when I die the track will die with me and be scrapped or some thing along those lines. Now if that isn't arrogant I don't know what is. I don't take this as bashing a track just telling how I see it from my point of view towards that goof ball of a human.

That's all I'm going to say on the subject. When Kankakee opens in a week or two there is a very real possibility It will likely kill his car count as Daugherty is a Friday track this year.

[dmr37]

maybe someday soon Daughtery will see the errors of his rudeness and you will be able to recant your statements about him too. I hope so.

[HoosierDirtFan]

Maybe you should go there for a few years and see the problem for your self. Also keep track of his Facebook page as you will find out fairly quick what the issue is.

[dmr37]

too much drama for me

[Dirt Clod]

That is really sad for Daughtery Speedway. Who names a track after their last name? Well I guess the Kamp's did.

Speaking of this owner, did anyone hear how many cars they had at Kickapoo Speedway this past Saturday night? I heard from a driver Sunday that the amount of cars was beyond low. Anyone on this board hear?

From looking at the points on the track website for the 1st week of racing there
Kickapoo car count
7 - UMP Modifieds
7 - UMP Pro Late Models
4 - Pro Stock Cars
2 - 6 Cyl. Scrappers
2 - Mini Wedge
22 - Totals cars among 5 classes

[golddirt]

I wonder why🙄

[Dirt Clod]

Thanks for those Danville counts, Nathan. I heard those same numbers from a modified driver Sunday. That's unreal....22 cars for 5 divisions. 2 Scrappers. Probably get that many fans the next date they are running. Sad for everyone.

[Clayton_Wetter]

The race track itself is fast and racy when prepped right, it is one of the best around. Now about the rest, it's just too bad the right person doesn't own this place.

[FASTRAKPR]

Fastest Qualifier has been increased to $200

[TackyTracker]

how much for kids to get in??

[cgrace]

first, i am glad the track is open. second I am glad they are having a special. I am just surprised it is a Bluegrass special as I thought Boswell was a UMP track. I'd think most the drivers close to the track would have UMP tires. Doesn't Bluegrass run dif tires? It might be costly for those closest to the track to run.

[golddirt]

It's open, with 30 fans

[FASTRAKPR]

UMP tires are legal for this race.

Fast Time Award is now $300.
$200 Long Haul Award.

[cgrace]

As a fan, I hope everything works out for drivers and series. Thank you FastTrakPR

[FASTRAKPR]

Hope to see you there, cgrace
