The FVP National Sprint League has a big Memorial Day weekend planned in the Upper Midwest, not only at Jackson, but at the Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, South Dakota on Sunday.
Danny Lasoski leads the NSL point standings heading into the weekend. “The Dude” picked up his first NSL win on May 9 at the Knoxville Raceway. Expected to lead the rest of the FVP National Sprint League contingent are three-time and defending Folkens Bros. Trucking Spring Nationals champion, Brian Brown, two-time Jackson Nationals champion Terry McCarl, 2006 Jackson Nationals champion, Dusty Zomer, two-time “King of California” Tim Kaeding, five-time Huset’s Speedway champion, Mark Dobmeier, nine-time Australian World Series Sprintcars titlist, Brooke Tatnell, Minnesota’s own Davey Heskin, seven-time IRA champion, Bill Balog, defending Knoxville Raceway champion, Ian Madsen, defending JSTS champion Kaley Gharst, four-time Jackson Speedway track champ Skylar Prochaska and many more!
Justin Henderson in the 17w
Joining the stars of the NSL this weekend, not only at Jackson, but also at Huset’s will be former Huset’s Speedway champion, Justin Henderson, as he subs in the Matt Wood Racing #17w while Bryan Clauson competes in the Indy 500.
A New Racetrack!
The ½-mile Jackson Speedway underwent an overhaul in the offseason, thanks to new track owner, Tod Quiring. Most notable may be the width of the track, which is now 80 feet wide with more sweeping corners. The track now has GPS technology on their grader. An engineering firm designed the new configuration, with the help of Knoxville Raceway’s Chris Dunkin. The coordinates used by the equipment will allow the track to keep its configuration with a uniform twelve degree banking week in and week out. Agricultural equipment is provided by the AGCO Corporation of Jackson.
Also, the track and the entire infield was tiled, and a two and a half acre holding pond has been constructed. In addition, a brand new MUSCO Lighting system has been installed. Fans returning to Jackson Speedway will see quite a difference in the facility!
Driver Autograph Session
Arrive when the gates open at 5 p.m. as several of the FVP National Sprint League drivers will be on hand signing autographs behind the grandstands from 5-5:30 p.m.
Grandstands open at 5 p.m. on Friday. Adult tickets are $25, students age 13-17 are $20 and 12 and under are FREE. Hot laps are at 6:30 with racing to follow.
