Ponderosa Speedway Cancels September 23 Event; Big Daddy Classic Next September 30

Junction City, KY (September 4, 2016)- Ponderosa Speedway track promoter Jamie Stumph and co-owner Larry Redenivs will not return to action at the 3/8 mile D-shaped red clay oval better known as “Kentucky’s Baddest Bullring” until Friday September 30 with the Big Daddy Classic, paying $3,088 to win for Pro Late Models, plus $888 to win for Modifieds, $1,088 to win for KDRA Super Stocks, $488 to win for Stock Four Cylinders, and $188 to win for Mini-Cup/Cyclones.

The event that was scheduled for Friday September 23 has been cancelled as track promoter wants to take some time to rework the racing surface in the turn one area. “We hate to cancel this event, but I am going to have some more dirt brought in attempt to fix our problem on the frontchute and entering turn one that is upsetting the race cars”, stated track promoter Jamie Stumph. “We are going to address the issue with some more dirt this week and work it in and we don’t want to rush this process and we are not going to race now on September 23, as I want to have the track in the best possible condition for the racers”, added Stumph.

Ponderosa Speedway’s next event will now be on Friday September 30 and will be the Big Daddy Classic, paying $3,088 to win for the Pro Late Model division in a 50 lap main event.
