Eyeing that I-55 weekend.... 

I've never been to I-55 as it's on the other side of the state from me and I'm usually up at Knoxville when the Outlaws are there. Might have to make that trip this year. Definitely going to hit US 36 and Lake Ozark Speedway the weekend before!

Ask Frank

When track prep is good Pevely is a spectacle to behold. They have lots of equipment and they'll make every effort to have a good track. It's been described as Jet fighters in a gymnasium and that's pretty accurate. Big enough and banked enough for crazy speeds and small enough for traffic to be a big factor. Some drivers refer to it as baby Eldora. The prefered watching spot is the infield. Standing next to the infield wall you can see driver's eyes and feel the rush as they blow by at over 100 mph. It'll suck the hat off your head if you're not careful. All three of those tracks have the potential to put on great races. My only concern In Missouri in April is the dreaded R word. 

Been to 36 quite a few times now but won't rule it out going again this year. I also haven't ever been to I-55 because dates usually align with Knoxville and what's the use of driving that far when sprints are at your back door. This eary date South of me sounds like a win if weather is right.

I drove to Pevely from central Michigan last year for the 2 day May show.  I had never been there.  It was worth every minute of the drive.  That place produces absolutely spectacular racing.  Very worth the trip from wherever you are from.

Great tracks added. You could argue that of the top 10 tracks to watch a sprint race, Pevely, Kokomo and Tri-State are on it.
