2009 Chowchilla Speedway Schedule

We still have openings in the schedule for several travel series, so look for classes added to the
dates with TBA's marked. We will continue to add sponsors to dates that are open as well.

The Super Stocks, Hobby Stocks, and 4-Bangers will receive two throwaway races, example, the
Super Stocks have seventeen totals races on the schedule, only the best fifteen finishes will count
towards the track championship. The Western Modifieds will have one throwaway race, so a
driver's best nine finishes will count towards the track championship.
