LoneStar Speedway Transformation: Changes by 11/13 Event

 

by Darin Short

 

Kilgore TX (11/1/10) - The storied history of LoneStar Speedway continues, as the ½ mile speed plant is now being transformed to include a wide, banked ¼ mile track.

 

Track owners Sam and Lisa Hafertepe comment: “We like tracks of all sizes, and part of the appeal of reopening LoneStar Speedway was to offer area drivers a big, wide open track to race at. The reality is, the drivers in the area have equipment to compete on shorter tracks, but the majority of them don’t have the equipment to race regularly on a big track like this. We’re changing it to help accommodate their needs so every race team can come have a great night of racing at LoneStar Speedway – all season long.”

 

The track will be reconfigured in plenty of time for the upcoming 5th Annual Dustin Duncan Memorial event to be held on November 13th. An open practice will be held on November 12th so teams can get their cars dialed in to the new track size.

 

The ½ mile track will still be intact for the 2011 special events such as the Sprint Cars and Late Models.
