PRESS RELEASE
DIRT ENTERTAINMENT BRINGS CLAY TO
ORANGE SHOW STADIUM!
(San Bernardino, CA, November 14, 2012)
Dirt Entertainment has just finalized an
agreement to bring racing back to one of Southern California’s premier racing
facilities.The Orange Show Stadium in
downtown San Bernardino, California, home of some of the finest short track
racing on the West Coast will be re-opened at the end of 2012 for one final
race as a pavement facility, and to keep the streak of continued racing at the
historic quarter mile oval alive in the record books.However, as soon as the final checkered flag falls to end the
season, several loads of clay will be delivered to the fairgrounds to transform
the popular family raceway into a mud-slinging thrill factory.
Although an official schedule has not been
released at the time of this release, series promoter and former sprint car
pilot Scott Burns states that he has a variety of divisions and racing events
planned for new clay raceway.The
upcoming 2013 season will most likely kick off in the spring with an open wheel
double-header featuring Unlimited Sprint Cars and Full Midgets.Burns confirmed that short-term plans are to
hold events at Orange Show Speedway in conjunction with the Route 66 Motorplex,
an action-packed, banked 3/8 mile clay oval located at the San Bernardino
Fairgrounds that is also operated by Dirt Entertainment, to allow racers the
opportunity to race for a season championship split between the two
venues.
Looking further down the road, Scott Burns stated
that he has been in contact with other promoters, local car owners, drivers,
and sponsors in hopes of creating interest among other West Coast tracks to
create a healthy organization of racers and track operators working together to
bring as much dirt track racing to Southern California possible and in hopes of
strengthening the grass roots racing community by spreading his series to other
clay ovals up and down the Coast of California.
A schedule is expected to be released within the
next few weeks, and a date for the first, only and last event in 2012 will be
announced in a matter of days.
