*Okay okay, calm down we are referring to the heavy rain causing track conditions to have more “Character” than some would prefer. *F.O.E Enterprises crew showed up early, operating track-owned tractors and tillers, working the entire pit area, all around the 3/8 mile track, and infield to get it all dried out. Then several of the “Army” showed up and packed it all in. It definitely was worth it for the 95 cars checked in for the four divisions!! Thanks KC,TD,CK,ED,RL,JT !!! • The...more

*We will start with the World Racing Group ASCS Sooner series sprint cars. With many cars having trouble the night before the 9 car field still put on a show! Double heats with the second one inverted provided lots of winged action. Having local hero and crowd favorite Jeremy Campbell in a heated battle late in the race brought the crowd to their feet. When the double checkers flew it was the 10c victoriously celebrating on the front stretch with a Dozen Donuts to delight the fans! *The Allied...more

-Whew…… Not even sure where to begin with such an exciting night of point finale racing. With Three divisions all still up for grabs to win the season championships the fans were in for a great show. I have to say thanks to so many people, F.O.E wants to thank any racer or fan for coming out at any point this season!!! We also want to thank the crews, families, and friends that make it all possible to put each event on. — I normally try to stay in race order for the recap, but that would...more

As the first practice is coming our way in the next few weeks, it’s a little hard to look at the frozen tundra that this winter has given us and even think about dirt flying and engines roaring around the storied 3/8-mile track. Nonetheless, race season is here very soon!! I personally am more than ready to get back to the races. The 2025 season looks to be one of the baddest ass schedules you could imagine. We open up at 81 Speedway as Broadway Truck and Auto presents “The Godfather”...more
