LoneStar MOTHER'S DAY DOUBLEHEADER: $1,300/win LTD MODS - KEN SCHRADER vs LONESTAR MODS

 

Kilgore, TX (4/20/15) -The wacky spring weather has inadvertently created a spectacular present opportunity for your mom on this Mother's Day at LoneStar Speedway (LSS), Sunday May 10th at 5pm. LSS has combined two major events into one doubleheader blockbuster featuring $1,300 to win and $100 to start (24th) in the "For the Love of Alex, Stop Texting and Driving" 25-lap feature for Limited Modifieds, plus, NASCAR veteran Ken Schrader racing his Modified with the LoneStar Modifieds!

 

Flowers and chocolates are great gifts for Mother's Day, and LoneStar Speedway can provide your mom a lifetime of great memories at this fun 'twilight' event with our VIP "Party with Ken" Pass!

While supplies last, you can purchase your "Party with Ken" VIP pass at http://www.darinshort.com/ken.html and it includes the following:

- General Admission to the event, reserved section seating upgrade (bucket seats), Food and drink coupon for (1) Homemade Mexican Dinner Plate and Soft Drink at the VIP concession stand (near turn 1), - -- - Access to VIP Party with Ken (held inside reserved section). The "Party with Ken" event will be held from 4:00pm until 4:45pm sharp. Ken will be available in the VIP area at that time for pictures with fans, autograph signings and apparel purchases/signings...and it only adds $10 to the posted cost of general admission tickets for all age groups!

 

With the special start time of 5pm, we plan to have the races over early so everyone can get home and get ready for their upcoming week.

 

If you can't make the pre-race VIP Party with Ken event (from 4-4:45pm), adult general admission tickets are just $15. Ken will be signing autographs at his race trailer in the pits after the races.

 

PLUS, as an added Mother's Day bonus, all mothers will receive $5 in FREE 50/50 tickets at the ticket window upon their arrival! Your mom might just hit a big LoneStar 50/50 jackpot and leave with a purse full of cash!

 

The LSS nightly 50/50 drawing offers fans of all ages a chance for a big cash jackpot - just for purchasing a 50/50 ticket for $1! Half the money collected goes directly into the LSS Driver's Points Fund (which was $13,000 each year in 2013 and 2014), the other half goes to the lucky fan who has their winning ticket number drawn on each race night.

 

On April 26, 2010 Trisha and Robert Taylor received the call that forever changed their lives, as their daughter Alex had been in an accident and was being taken by air flight to East Texas Medical Center, and would not survive her injuries. The accident was attributed to texting and driving.

 

Trisha and Robert Taylor have stepped up to help raise awareness of the dangers of texting and driving, combined with a long list of sponsors they are assembling, raising the competitor purse in the Limited Modified division called the "For the Love of Alex, Stop Texting and Driving" 25-lap feature - making it one of the largest one-night, no-entry fee events for this division in the state of Texas.

 

Robert is veteran LoneStar Speedway driver, along with his wife Trisha, continue to help raise awareness of the dangers of texting and driving, at their Facebook page titled For the love of Alex Stop Texting and Driving. Click http://www.facebook.com/ForTheLoveOfAle ... AndDriving to ‘like’ the page and learn more about their awareness efforts.

If you, or your business, are interested in being a part of this special awareness event, send an email to ForTheLoveofAlex@embarqmail.com and Trisha Taylor will get back in touch with you with more information.

"For the Love of Alex, Stop Texting and Driving" complete Limited Modified feature payback: $1,300 - $800 - $700 - $600 - $500 (5th) - $400 - $300 - $200 - $180 -$160 - $140 - $120 - $100...to 24!

We would like to thank the following businesses and individuals for their generous support of this event: Bill Cooper - Tyler Weathermakers Inc - KMA Motorsports - Day Motorsports - All Points Systems Marshall, Tx - Dunn Transmissions - Enerflex Energy - Whataburger/Simpson Racing - Premier Adjustment Group LLC.

 

Joining the special Limited Modified event will be a complete LSS points program for the Modifieds ($1,000/win and $100/start) featuring Ken Schrader, plus Factory Stocks ($300/win). The Beginner Factory Stocks will round out the packed racing program with their feature event.

 

There are no entry fees for any racing divisions on May 10th. Standard pit passes of $30 will be in effect. As in 2014, non-qualifier money will be awarded to any team not making their feature race: Modifieds $50, Limited Modifieds $30 and Factory Stocks $20.

 

Ken Schrader is one of the most popular and successful drivers in American motorsports, and LSS officials are thrilled to have him bring his Federated Auto Parts #9 Modified to LSS to compete with all the drivers in the area...and to mingle with the fans before the event in the VIP Party Pass area.

 

Schrader’s racing career has spanned 40 years and he has wins and/or championships in about every series in which he has competed; from NASCAR’s three national series to USAC’s Sprint and Silver Crown series. Schrader is a Daytona 500 polesitter and has won the prestigious Bud Shoot-Out at Daytona International Speedway. In addition, he has competed in literally 1,000’s of Dirt Modified and Late Model events throughout his career, so he is fully capable of hanging with the LoneStar big dogs.

 

2015 rules in all divisions are posted at the track website, drivers please make sure to review them prior to your arrival at the track on race night.

 

An event flyer is posted at the track website and Facebook page. Division payback is posted at the track website.
