THE GLORY DAYS RETURN TO OXFORD PLAINS SPEEDWAY RACING SATURDAY NIGHTS AT 7PM, KIDS PIT TOUR 6:25PM<\/strong><\/p>\n

The glory days of racing will return to Saturday nights at Oxford
\nPlains Speedway beginning this Saturday, August 2nd with Whited RV from
\nAuburn hosting the evening’s activities. After trying to make a go of things
\non Friday nights for the past two seasons, the decision was made to switch
\nto Saturday night racing for the balance of the season.
\n<\/p>\n

“We have received so many requests from people whom would love to be
\ncoming to the races here at Oxford on a weekly basis, but by the time they
\nget home from work, shower, eat dinner and relax for a moment, it doesn’t
\nleave them much time to head to the track, and many just stay home, stated
\nOPS owner, Tom Mayberry. If you live more than forty-five minutes away from
\nthe track, we are finding it very hard for the fans to make it here on time.
\nWe also have received many complaints from drivers that have to take every
\nFriday afternoon off to get to the track, and many are only doing it
\nperiodically if at all. Saturday has always been known as the night for
\nracing, and hopefully we will see some more people in the grandstands, and
\ndrivers in the pits. Comments have been 95% positive, and we hope this will
\ncontinue to be a positive change. There is no better weekly racing around
\nthan what we are offering, and we want race fans to enjoy it!”<\/p>\n

When racing resumes this Saturday, the card will be a good one to
\nstart the change over with. The hugely popular Kids Pit Tour will kick off
\nat 6:25pm on Saturday night prior to the races. The Kids Pit Tour is a
\nguided tour for all youngsters through the pit area where they can see the
\nracecars up close, meet and greet the drivers, get to enter the racecar
\nhaulers and receive treats and fun things from the race teams. The race card
\nwill feature the PASS Sportsman, Budweiser Pro Late Models, Allen’s Coffee
\nFlavored Brandy Street Stocks, Ripley & Fletcher Ford Outlaw Sportsman, and
\nBanditos. Racing will get underway at 7pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
