FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wheatland, MO (December 18th, 2014) – With an extremely successful PRI Trade Show in the rear view mirror, the Lucas Oil MLRA is pleased to announce a pair of new dates to the 2015 schedule. The series will break new ground in the state of Iowa with a pair of standalone $10,000 to win races at Farley Speedway in Farley, Iowa on Monday, August 3rd, and West Liberty Raceway in West Liberty, Iowa on Tuesday, August 4th. Keith Simmons, owner of Simmons Promotions, has overseen each of those two tracks along with Dubuque Fair Speedway for the last 14 years.

Fans familiar with Dirt Late Model racing might recall the Tuesday race at West Liberty as “Tornado Tuesday.” Built on a decade’s worth of success with that particular race, Simmons is expanding to include another night at Farley. There is not an official name for the event yet as he is finalizing details on his end.

“I couldn’t be more excited to bring the Lucas Oil MLRA to a pair of new tracks, offering that kind of payout to our drivers,” commented MLRA Race Director Ernie Leftwich. “I think we had an awesome schedule assembled and then with the addition of these two dates, it really puts it over the top.”

Farley Speedway consists of both a 1/2 mile and 3/8 mile track. In August, the race will be contested on the 3/8 mile track. According to Simmons, Farley is one of only four privately held dirt tracks in the state. It offers incredible amenities to fans including skybox viewing and Musco lightning. The track is wide and racy, with a 16,000 sq. ft. banquet facility on the grounds too.

West Liberty Raceway is a throwback to a generation of racing gone by. It has a 1930’s style covered grandstand, with a top notch surface and intense action. The 1/2 mile track is located on the Muscatine County Fairgrounds.

“We we’re really looking for more of a dynamic event,” commented Simmons. “The Lucas Oil MLRA offers a great package to promoters and they have an excellent core group of racers following their series. We are really looking to start a new tradition here in our area and beyond. Our goal is to build these two races into one mega event for years to come.”
