Crate Model class debuts at Kennedale’s

season opening Kick-Off special March 1-2

 

KENNEDALE, Texas (Jan. 21) – A fifth IMCA division joins Saturday

night programs at Kennedale Speedway Park this season, with the

introduction of Crate Models to the 1/4–mile dirt oval.

 

“We’ve never had any type of late model here before and were looking

for something different,” promoter Richard Snider said. “There are

other late models in the area with $25,000-$30,000 motors. The cars

are all the same. We wanted something with an affordable motor, so we

decided to go with the Crate Model.”

 

The first track in Texas to feature Crate Models, Kennedale also

sanctions its Modifieds, Southern SportMods, Stock Cars and Hobby

Stocks with IMCA.

 

All five divisions will be on the card when KSP hosts its season

opening Spring Kick-Off special on Saturday and Sunday, March 1-2.

All IMCA points will be awarded for shows both evenings.

 

Kennedale’s regular season runs through Sept. 20. The 2008 season

ends with the Oct. 2-4 Showdown special, which also sports the five

IMCA classes.

The first track in Texas to feature Crate Models...

 

 

With the exception of Houston Raceway Park, which has run them for a full season already. Maybe they are just the first in Kennedale.

I saw on another forum that Grand Prarie Speedway was possibly going to run them as well.(according to rumor)

That would give them a Friday and Saturday track to run.
