Another Exciting Season Heads to Gas City Speedway

Written By: Matt "Night" Rider

GAS CITY, IN- The Gas City (I-69) Speedway has supplied great racing memories for racers and race fans alike for many years.  This season will be one to remember. 

Gas City Speedway offers race fans a variety of different types of racing. From the always exciting 410 sprints to the thunder cars, there is always action packed racing at Gas City Speedway throughout the summer months.

Kokomo native Shane "The Throttle" Cottle will look to defend his track Championship in the 410 Sprints division.  Cottle won't have it easy.  Billy Puterbaugh, Andrew Elson, Blake Fitzpatrick and company are strong comtenders for the 410 Sprint crown in 2010.

The UMP Modifieds return to Gas City Speedway in 2010 with a vengence.  Marion native Scotty Orr won the overall track Championship last year.  There will be a competitive group of UMP Modified racers that will try to grab the title in 2010.  This competitive group includes Bub Patrtick, Andy Bishop and John Fosnaugh.

In the Street Stocks division, Marion racer Ervin Turner dominated the 2009 campaign and will look to stay on top in 2010.  Rob Draper, Kaleb Nutter, and company will look to dethrown Turner in 2010.  Thinking back on 2009, I remember Turner won 2 Street Stock features in one of the first races I covered at Gas City Speedway.  The Street Stock feature was rained out the last weekend, so there was two Street Stocks features in one action packed night of racing. Like I said, both were won by Turner.

The last of the four weekly divisions that run at the Gas City Speedway are the thunder cars. Last season, Josh Owens took home the crown, but this year there will be a variety of thunder car racers, who will contend for the Championship in the Thunder Car division at the Gas City Speedway.

Look for some very exciting racing throughout the summer at the Gas City Speedway. You can find more information about the race schedule and more from Gas City Speedway, by logging onto their website at http://www.gascityi69speedway.com/.
