Delta Bowl Speedway
Announces 1st Annual Hoosier Topless 40 Night Two and New Sponsors
Tunica, Mississippi (March 4, 2004) As
the management at Delta Bowl Speedway prepares to begin its
2004 campaign, big announcements are continuing to surface and
new sponsors are coming on board.
Earlier this week, track management inked a deal
with Hoosier Racing Tire to host the "First Annual Hoosier
Topless 40 Night Two" on Saturday, June 12th. The event
is referred to as "Night Two" because it is the tail
end of a double header with Memphis Motorsports Park's "Second
Annual Hoosier Topless 40", which will be held on Friday,
June 11th. Each event will be highlighted by a forty lap feature
for the Super Late Models, which will pay $3,000 to win. Drivers
participating in the weekend double header between the two tracks
will have a shot at taking home $6,000 for their efforts.
Earlier this week, details were also worked out
this week to host a late season event of monstrous proportions
at the high banked oval. Information about this earth-shattering
event will be released in the next few weeks.
In addition, to the practice dates slated for
March 13th and March 20th, practice dates have also been added
for March 14th and March 21st. These dates were added in order
to accommodate racers, who may have their home tracks practicing
on March 13th and/or March 20th.
With the start of the season just a few weeks
away, Delta Bowl Speedway is continuing to accumulate sponsors.
Among the sponsors signed thus far for the 2004 season are Competition
Cams, Hensley Suzuki of Olive Branch, Wall Boards Material Company,
and Ricks Powder Coating.
Delta Bowl Speedway rules are being finalized
and should be available within the next week. New owner, Howard
Mea, indicated that he planned to run the same rules as Memphis
Motorsports Park (with the likely exception of the Hoosier tire
rule). Mea was quoted to say that "I want to make sure
that drivers in the area don't have to jump through a hoop to
get their car changed from Friday night to run on Saturday night."
The 2004 weekly program will consist of Sprint Cars, Super Late
Models, Modifieds, Street Stocks, Mini Stocks, and Cruisers.

Delta
Bowl Speedway is a high-banked, 1/3 mile, gumbo oval that features
some of the best racing that the country has to offer. In 2003,
the likes of Scott Bloomquist, Sammy Swindell, and Steve Kinser
challenged the brand new facility. In 2004, countless other
competitors from across the country will converge on the Delta
to try and tame the highbanked monster.
