2012 TENTATIVE SCHEDULE IS POSTED!

***PRACTICE THIS WEEK***

THANKS RACERS AND FANS
THE BUTLER MOTOR SPEEDWAY STAFF AND MANAGEMENT WOULD LIKE TO THANK SHELLY RACING, SWAN RACING, PIFER MOTORSPORTS, HART RACING AND BATES MOTORSPORTS, AS WELL AS THE FANS AND DRIVERS WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THE CANS FROM RACE FANS FOOD DRIVE.  THE 2 DRIVES OVER THE WEEKEND COMBINED FOR OVER A HUNDRED POUNDS OF FOOD FOR THE LOCAL FOOD BANKS.  YOU RACERS AND FANS MAKE ME PROUD TO HAVE YOU CALL BUTLER "HOME".  WITH ONE MORE DRIVE THIS WEEKEND AT THE UPCOMING PRACTICE, IT IS SAFE TO SAY THIS WILL HELP THE LOCAL FOOD BANKS VERY MUCH.

2012 RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER
 With the season's first practice just a couple of weeks away, I ran down to the track to check on the updated progress.  The crew was hard at work as usual.  Dustin had the grader on the track, Austin had the bobcat out working on the track also.  Shawn and Torry were working to repair the washed out section of grandstands in turn one.  There was a trailer parked in the walkway with a pile of new lumber on it, all of which was going into the grandstands.  The guys were on the grounds mowing the grass and I saw the concession staff working on the concession stands. 
The season's first practice will kick off on April 21st from 1pm to 4pm with a pit pass cost of $15 and the grandstands will be free with the donation of a non perishable food item. 



AS THE COOL MONTHS ARE HERE, I THOUGHT IT MAY HELP EVERYONE THROUGH BY DOING A BUTLER PHOTO BLAST.  THIS CAN BE DRIVERS,FANS, EMPLOYEES ETC. FROM LAST YEAR AND BEYOND.  CHECK BACK OFTEN AS I PLAN TO ROTATE THESE FREQUENTLY.
