Hello,

This is a sincere thank you (NOT a Press Release)  from the management and staff of Lancaster National Speedway to all who attended our thrice-delayed opener.

We know it was a tad chilly (60 and sunny when we started at 6:30 and 49 when we ended at 11 p.m.), we can't control the weather. But, we can control sending our appreciation to all 74 race teams who chose to race with us on Saturday. The Race of Champions Modifieds and Super Stocks were joined by our Street Stocks and 4 Cylinders for some great on-track action to kick off the 2018 season.

To the fans in the stands, we sincerely thank you for choosing to be part of the night and we look forward to seeing you again. As I have said many times, without the stars in the cars and fans in the stands - were are nothing but a paved oval in the middle of a field.

Sincerely,

Tim Packman, Staff, Management and Racers
Lancaster National Speedway

PS - This would have been a Press Release if I mentioned it's Ladies Night this Saturday (May 19) with $5 Front Gate Admission for the Ladies with the VP Racing Fuels Sportsman, Advance Auto Parts Street Stocks, Roaming Buffalo 4 Cylinders and an all-ladies only Amateur 4 Cylinder race to close out the night. But, I won't do that...gotta follow the rules ya know.

Any and all questions regarding format, race procedures and ticketing need to be directed to the Red Bull Global Rally Cross. We are the host facility for this event.

Thanks

As popular is it might sound to have a weekly Modified Series at a track, and I'll use Lancaster as the example, it wouldn't be financially sound for the facility or the teams. Running on a weekly basis would bring forth a financial commitment from LNS that would handcuff us from doing other things and bringing in other shows. It would also force the teams to spend on a weekly basis to remain competitive in hopes of making a good enough purse to bring them back to race next week. In turn, we would have to choose a higher Front Gate admission that could end up turning away your most loyal of fans.

What we have now with the RoC and Joe Skotnicki works great for both of us, the teams and the fans. Yes, we have more races than  any other track on the schedule. At one time, we called ourselves the Home of the Modifieds...and for good reason. The team and fan support made it worthwhile. Now, we work together to bring the RoC Mods in for a select number of races each year making for a special night of ground pounding action.

I and LNS have no desire to start or even look into running our own Modified Series. We'd much rather let Joe S. have all that fun, while we have our fun running four nights a week between the oval and dragstrip.

Look forward to seeing everyone at Lancaster this season

No lap timer  seemed to be confusion on laps starter goes from 10 to go to 2??

Our wireless lap counter was interfering with the ISMA lap timing system, so we turned it off to to make things easier for them.

It is an OPEN Practice for anyone who has an asphalt Stock Car and wants to partake

Its $15 per person for back gate....front gate is FREE... limited-item concession stand will be open... might be some beers for sale, too. 

Thanks

After an award-winning 2016 at Lancaster National Speedway & Dragway, its time to get ready for the 2017 season. And, the first step to racing is the much-anticipated Racer Registration.

While teams have been working on their cars through the winter, the staff and management has been getting ready for the on-track action. We've already had our divisional meetings, released our schedules and updated the rules for the Drag and Stock Car programs.

On Friday, March 10 at Magruder's Pub on Broadway in Depew from 7 to 9 p.m. track Management will be in attendance to answer questions and make some announcements regarding the season.

Drivers can register for their respective class/divsional points and get their license, crew members can get their licenses and teams can renew their pit pads. All pits pads are assigned to whoever had them in 2016 until March 15. After that, any unreserved spots will be given to those already on the waiting list. All forms are currently on the website and pre-printed ones will be available upon arrival, as well.

FOAR Score will also be on hand for drivers and crew members to join their club. To be eligible for end-of-season points funds from FOAR Score, which totaled $12,000 last year alone from them in addition to the track points funds, a driver MUST be a registered member with them. Last year, several drivers did NOT join and their FOAR Score end-of-season points fund money went to their fellow drivers in that division.

Magruders, just one of our new partners, has a full bar and menu to take care of your thirst and hunger needs. Come on out, get registered for 2017 and have a little fun.

We just put our schedule out for the 2017 Stock Car season for Lancaster National Speedway
