"NASCAR Duel on the Sharon Speedway Dirt" Featuring Nextel Cup Stars Slated for Tuesday, Aug. 14
$5,000 to win open sprint race, $1,000 to win e-mod feature, tickets to go on sale Tuesday, June 26 at 10 a.m.
HARTFORD, Ohio; June 20, 2007 - Sharon Speedway officials announced Wednesday that NASCAR stars will return to their roots on Tuesday, Aug. 14 for the "NASCAR Duel on the Sharon Speedway Dirt." Track owner Dave Blaney, Tony Stewart and Kevin Harvick have been confirmed to battle one another in e-mods on the Hartford dirt, with more NASCAR stars expected to be announced shortly.
For the first time in Sharon Speedway history, an open 410 Sprint Car $5,000 to win feature will take center stage with NASCAR stars in attendance. The area's elite winged sprint car drivers will battle for 50 laps and a $5,000 crown on Sharon's 3/8-mile dirt on Aug. 14. Drivers from the tri-state area are expected to compete.
Blaney, Stewart and Harvick, along with other NASCAR drivers to be announced, will also take to the 3/8-mile dirt oval at Sharon Speedway as part of a $1,000 to win e-mod race slated for Aug. 14. The area's best e-mod drivers will duel with some of NASCAR's stars at Sharon Speedway in a 25-lap e-mod feature.
"We have been working on this for a while because it has been tough finding time in everyone's schedule," said Sharon Speedway owner Blaney. "This date became available and we're excited to offer a big sprint car and e-mod race for our locals, as well as bring in some top NASCAR drivers, and we feel this combination will prove to be an exciting night of action at Sharon and something that we can build upon for the future."
Blaney, who has raced on his own track a handful of times in recent years, will welcome the return of Stewart to Sharon Speedway. Stewart, driver of the No. 20 Home Depot Chevrolet, battled Blaney in big block modifieds on "Tony Stewart Night" at Sharon Speedway back in 2001 and 2002. This will mark 2007 Daytona 500 winner Kevin Harvick's first encounter with the Sharon Speedway dirt.
