7 Features in 5 Divisions at Red River Speedway Friday July 10!

Wichita Falls, TX (7/6/15) by DarinShort.com. This Friday July 10th Red River Speedway (RRS) will host a full night of racing action with the Sprint Cars, Modifeds, Limited Modifieds, Pro Stocks and Mini Stocks. The night will kick off with feature races in the Modifieds and Limited Modifieds that were rained out from Friday June 12. The feature races in those divisions are set, and no 'new' cars will be added to their starting field. Only drivers qualified for those make up features will be allowed to race.

After those feature events have been concluded, the five scheduled divisions for July 10th will compete in heat races and feature events. This includes any new cars in the Modifieds and Limited Modifieds that were not present on June 12. There are no rain checks (pits and grandstands) from the June 12 race since all of those feature races are being made up, and with full paying purses.

PLUS, if you are a resident of Montague County Texas, with your valid I.D. you will be able to get into the Grandstand area on July 10th FREE! Any kids accompanying those adults will also be admitted to the grandstand area free on July 10th. This promotion includes all cities in Montague County, such as: Belcherville, Bowie, Dye Mound, Forestburg, Illinois Bend, Montague, Nocona, Red River Station (I know, it's a ghost town, but still listed as a town in the County), Ringgold, Saint Jo, Spanish Fort, Stoneburg, Sunset, Valley View.

IT'S MILITARY NIGHT TOO! ACTIVE MILITARY members (with I.D.) get in FREE on July 10th!

After this Friday, Red River Speedway will be taking a summer break. The dirt track races on July 17 & 24 have been removed from the schedule, so the next race up after July 10th will be on July 31st when the Oil Capital Racing Series makes their debut at Red River Speedway! Joining the OCRS Sprint Cars will be the Modifieds, Limited Modifieds, Pro Stocks and Mini Stocks. RaceSaver Sprint Cars will be scheduled off that night.

And if you are a Pro Stock division team, there is an update for you to read under the 'Pro Stock' section near the bottom of this press release.
