Ponderosa Speedway Makes Schedule Changes and Updates
Junction City, KY-June 8, 2014- Ponderosa Speedway track promoter Jerry Denson would like to take this opportunity to announce some schedule changes and updates to the 2014 racing schedule at the 3/8 mile D-shaped red clay oval better known as “Kentucky’s Baddest Bullring” for July and the first of August.
For the month of June, there will still be full racing programs on Friday June 13 and June 20, while the track will off as originally scheduled on Friday June 27 for the NASCAR weekend at Kentucky Speedway.
The month of July will see some changes, however. The 14th Annual Hugh “Junebug” Rowland Memorial event that was scheduled for Friday July 4 will now take place on Friday July 18. The track will now be off on July 4 for the annual Lincoln County Fair and will still be off as originally planned on Friday July 11. The “Junebug” will now take place on Friday July 18 and will pay $2,500 to win for Super Late Models, $1,500 to win for Modifieds, and $500 to win for Sportsman, while Pro Late Models and Pure Streets will also be in action in a regular show. The event will use Saturday July 19 as a raindate if inclement weather imposes on the Friday July 18 date, as long as the Butterball event at Richmond Raceway does not have to use the date on July 19. The track will then still be off as originally scheduled on Friday July 25.
The track is also pleased to announce some information concerning the 3rd Annual Red Clay Bash on Friday August 1. The Red Clay Bash on Friday August 1 will pay $3,000 to win for Super Late Models, along with a full racing program for all other divisions.
