Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series to Sanction Brownstown Biggies in ’11; Jackson 100 Format Change Announced
CORONA, CA (January 26, 2010) – Officials of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Brownstown (IN) Speedway promoters Tim and Farrah Keithley have announced that the historic South-Central Indiana track will again have their two biggest events, the “Indiana Icebreaker†and the “Jackson 100†will again be sanctioned by the series.
The 14th Annual “Indiana Icebreaker†is set for Saturday, March 26th at the quarter-mile oval. The $10,000 to win event was won in 2010 by Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN. It will also be the first series event after the 35th DART Winternationals, which will be held on February 7th-12th at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, FL.
The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will then return to the facility which has hosted racing since 1952 with the track’s signature event, the 32nd Annual “Jackson 100.†The event will again pay $20,000 to the winner. Last year Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN captured the race, which marked the 500th victory of his Hall of Fame career.
Officials have announced that the event will see a format change for 2011 for the Jackson 100 In previous years the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series had held Time Trials only on the Friday Night portion of the two-day show. This year on Friday Night, September 23rd there will be Time Trials and Heat Races for the series to make-up night one of the festivities.
On Saturday Night, September 24th will see the B-Mains contested for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the grand finale with the 32nd running of the Jackson 100 paying $20,000 to win to top off the weekend.
“We have had a great relationship with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series,†said Brownstown promoter, Tim Keithley. “It’s good to have them back to sanction our two marquee events and to have the SPEED Channel back to tape the Jackson 100 is a tremendous honor as well.â€
“With the format change for the Jackson 100 and having Late Model time trials and heats on Friday Night, that will leave time for better track prep for Saturday Night’s races, also there will be no increase in admission prices for either event this year,†said Keithley.
