By Dusty Wiegert SALINA, Kan. – Three weeks ago racing returned to the Salina Speedway for only the second time in 2015. Opening night was three weeks before that night, and in all seven out of eight scheduled events have been affected by rain.

She started chemo at Children’s Mercy in Kansas City on Jan. 23. The night’s 50/50 effort will go towards off setting medical costs for Chloe and her family, as well as any donations that will gladly be accepted. On the track five divisions will highlight the evening, with the Auto House Mod Lite division taking center stage with two features, the first being the make up feature from May 22 with a complete show after that. The 1st Class Chassis IMCA Modifieds will be back at it with defending champion Mike Petersilie at the top of the two event point standings. In one event [Read More]
