THE ADRA & USDCS JOIN FORCES FOR THE COAL MINERS CLASSIC!
Apple Grove, WV. July 28, 2011~The American Dirt Racing Association (ADRA) presented by Suddenlink and the United Super Dirt Car Series (USDCS) will join forces in honor of our region’s coal miners in the 2nd Annual Coal Miners Classic paying $5000 to win Saturday Night August 6th at the Lucky 7 Speedway in Whitesburg, KY. The ADRA Late Model Series operates mostly to the Northeast of our region while the USDCS Late Model Series operates mostly to the Southwest of our region. (www.suddenlink.com)“We’ve been trying to do something together all year,†explained USDCS Director Tracey Burchell. “But weather and other circumstances have kept us apart. This crown jewel event in honor of our region‘s coal miners is the perfect opportunity to finally be able to bring the 2 series together. We love our miners and we’re thrilled to be a part of all this.â€
Lucky 7 Speedway is a .35 mile semi D shaped, semi banked, dirt oval located at 6290 Hwy 7 North Whitesburg, KY. 41858. The racing surface is 100 feet wide at its narrowest point! The track is billed as theâ€Home of 3 Wide Racingâ€. The Lucky 7 fans will attest that is an understatement.

“When we call up racers and tell them we are putting on a show in honor of our coal miners,†stated ADRA Competition Coordinator Rocky Estep, “it isn’t too hard to get them to commit. We are thankful the Lord has blessed us with our miners and our drivers. It is a blessing to get to work with Josh Baker and the Lucky 7 Speedway crew, Tracey Burchell and the USDCS crew, and the ADRA Late Model Series as well. Ain’t God good?!â€
