World of Outlaw Craftsman Sprint Car Series Event At Jacksonville Speedway Postponed To October 12, 2018
(Jacksonville, IL) Officials at Jacksonville Speedway and the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series have announced the postponement of their event scheduled for Wednesday June 27th to Friday October 12, 2018 due to the tragic death of driver Jason Johnson. Johnson, a series regular lost his life in an accident Saturday night in a World of Outlaws sanctioned event at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin.
Jacksonville Speedway promoter Ken Dobson commented “Jason was one of the greatest sprint car drivers in the world and a former Knoxville Nationals Champion. We were fortunate to have had Jason race here at Jacksonville on some occasions in the past. Postponing our event scheduled for this Wednesday allows time for the racing community to grieve and for friends and family to celebrate Jason’s life.”
“He was a champion both on and off the race track” continued Dobson. “His passing reminds us of the dangers all of our racers face while doing what they enjoy and reinforces the need for driver and fan safety to be our paramount concern.”
Johnson is survived by his wife Bobbi and son Jaxx.
All tickets will be honored on the rescheduled date in October. Questions concerning tickets can be directed to Dobson at 217-371-3653 or by email at jacksonvillespeedway@gmail.com.
Jacksonville Speedway will return to action this Friday June 27th for its regular Friday Night Fury show featuring six classes of racing action.
