For the third in four weeks Crossville Raceway plans to get folks out of the Grandstand and onto the track this Friday night, May 9th, with ‘Nickel Night for Kids’. All the Kids in the grandstand will be invited to come on down and onto the track for a hunt for nickels.

William and the crew at the track will be spreading nickels on the front straightaway, and the kids will have a free-for-all retrieving the loot. This is yet another effort to let the fans become involved more at the races.

Singin' in the rain! What a glorious feeling huh?! Actually, not really! Considering the local dirt tracks have scheduled races week after week for the entire month of March, but only a couple tracks in the East TN area were able to run a race the entire month of March! The rain is much needed for our area, but the timing of the rain has many fans pulling out their hair, just itching for the smell of race engine exhaust and to see the mud flying! Not only are we being affected by the almost-daily rain on a local level, but so is NASCAR.
