Rain! Rain! MORE RAIN!!
May 16, 2009

ORRVILLE OH - That was the headline on Sunday May 18, 1969 at Wayne County Speedway and the same can be used forty years later after suffering a third consecutive early season rain out. If there is any hope, history shows our upcoming event should be a real “hair raiser” as way back then over 60 Flying Stocks qualified in front of over 1400 “Dyed in the Wool race fans” on a cold 50 degree night on that following week.

Some of you “old timers” may remember names like Jim Gentry, Dave Haven, John Middaugh, Berman Meadows, John Magyar, and Dean Alexander often made headlines and their legacy continues to this day. In modern times we look forward to seeing J. R. Gentry, Aaron Middaugh, Chad Craver, Chase Alexander, and Mason Radcliff slingin’ dirt at this historic 3/8ths mile clay oval and with a little help from the weatherman we may return to action next Saturday night with Super Late Models, Sprints, Pure Stocks, Mini Stocks, and Cruisers on the bill.

Federated Auto Parts Wayne County Speedway is located south of Orrville just off Historic Lincoln Highway. We would also like to thank a few of our sponsors including Beaver Petroleum, Fisher Performance, and Hoosier Tire Mid Atlantic. For more information please visit www.waynecountyspeedway.com
