Say What!

“I was a bit nervous going into that feature just because the sprint cars go through the holes way easier than the midgets,In a midget, just because you’re sideways, you’re bouncing a lot. I was nervous with the track slickening up and I felt like we were going to have to run through the holes more, which we did. But my car could handle it there, which was nice.” Kyle Larson winning Merced CA USAC Midgets feature 2

“I just kind of stumbled off the original start, I wasn’t going to be the guy to blow it into turn one on the first lap and flip over while leading, so I just felt it out there for a while. I felt where we were good and where we weren’t.” Corey Day winning Merced CA USAC Midgets feature 1

We are so incredibly excited for this venture and to get Selinsgrove Speedway back to the success that it once had. We have decades of experience at the track in all capacities from fans, drivers, workers, and now promoters. We have worked under multiple previous promoters and have seen many of the highs and lows of the track. As exciting as the past of Selinsgrove Speedway has been, we are now focusing on the future. www.raceselinsgrove.com https://www.facebook.com/ X @selinsgroverace 11/17
