Join us on Saturday, May 8th as the Park Jefferson International Speedway celebrates the life of Speedway Founder Ted Carlson. Ted was instrumental in turning Park Jefferson into an auto racing facility back in 1986 along with a team of others. In honor of his passing, Park Jefferson invites all to celebrate the Ted Carlson Memorial race sponsored by Zeitner and Sons.
The night will feature Super Dirt Late Models as the SLMR Series from Nebraska invades Park Jefferson in a night featuring many of the names that race fans remember from years past including the Zeitners, the Kosiski’s and many more. Joining them on race night will be the IMCA Modifieds, J&J Fitting Stock Cars and Z98 Sport Modifieds. Every division’s winner will receive a special payout ending in 86 in honor of the year 1986 when Park Jefferson began racing automobiles. The Late Model winner will run for $3,086 to win, the Modifieds will run for $1,086 and the Stock Cars and Sport Modifieds will each run for $486 to win.
Fans can also participate by wearing their vintage Park Jefferson t shirts, hats and coats. Fans can enter a chance to win one of the $86 give cards by wearing a vintage Park Jefferson Speedway hat, t-shirt, coat and more. Lucky winners will be chosen at intermission.
