A huge night is on tap for Friday May 18th as Jacksonville Speedway hosts the annual Shawn Marquard Memorial presented by ILMO Propane. What had already been planned as a big night of racing featuring Super Late Models, Modifieds, Street Stocks and Hornets got a whole lot bigger when the MOWA Sprint Cars got added to the card following the May 4th rain out.
Now fans will get to see the season opener of the Midwest Open Wheel Association 410 Winged Sprint Cars, along with Super Late models in the same show as a part of the Marquard Memorial. Expect 30 or more of the best sprint car racers in the midwest, along with a stout field of Super Late Models which return following an absence at Jacksonville of more than a year. Modifieds and Hornets get their first night of action at Jacksonville and the incredibly competitive Street Stock class returns for their second night of action at Jacksonville.
The Marquard Memorial is always one of the most fan-friendly events of the year with the Marquard family having giveaways for the kids and other activities planned for the night.
Grandstands open at 5:00, with hot laps at 6:15 and racing starting at 7:00 sharp. Grandstand admission is $20 with children 12 and under free. For more information, visit www.jacksonvillespeedway.com or www.midwestopenwheel.com
