Cody Morris, TULSA, OKLAHOMA (4-1-2012) - The 2012 Speedway Motors ASCS Midwest Region commences with a familiar weekend double at Greenwood, Nebraska’s I-80 Speedway.
The weekend pair atop the 4/10 mile oval will mark the 1st and 2nd rounds of a 2012 slate of events that features 18 events spread across Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, and South Dakota.
Three years after attaining his first Midwest crown in 2008, Springfield, Nebraska’s Jack Dover dominated the 2011 campaign to earn his 2nd ASCS Midwest Region Championship. The reigning champion is expected to lead a host of contenders into the Speedway Motors ASCS Midwest Region debut.
Both events will feature a complete show, with $2,500 to the winner and $250 to all main event starters.
Racing begins Friday night at 7pm, followed by a rather peculiar 5:55pm start time in Saturday’s weekend finale.
Nebraska Raceway Park's I-80 Speedway is located in Greenwood, NE, between Lincoln and Omaha off I-80 Exit 420, then 0.4 mile north on SR 63 then west. For more information, contact the track at 402-659-3301 or 402-342-3453.
