Madera Speedway Announces Plans for Makeover & New Lease
Madera Speedway (Madera, CA) recently announced that they have signed another five-year agreement (with a 5-year renewal option) with the Madera Fairgrounds, as well as plans to resurface the 1/3-mile paved oval.
"There's nobody that's more passionate about bringing success to the Madera Speedway than Kenny is, he is fully committed and fully invested," stated Madera District Fair CEO Scott Sample in a press release issued by Madera Speedway.
The Fair has also agreed to resurface the track which they plan to have done prior to the 2012 season.
"This is a huge investment on part of the Board of Directors" says Sample. He also stated "It's a way of showing the Fairs' commitment and support to auto racing in the central valley".
"In 2006, it appeared as the Madera Speedway was closed forever, now we fast forward to 2011 and the entire pit area has been rebuilt, including new access roads, new paved pit parking and the new restroom/storage shop for the track. We've been working hard on an improvement plan that includes repaving the track and that has now become a reality. I'm very proud to be a part of this rehabilitation of the Madera Speedway, and to do this in such difficult economic times is something really special. It speaks volumes of the strong partnership we have with our Fair Board and their commitment to this race track and what it does for the community" states Madera Speedway (Short Track Management) promoter Kenny Shepherd.
The 2012 Madera Speedway season kicks off in March with Open Wheel highlights being the Vukovich, Gerhardt, and Pombo Classics featuring USAC Midgets and Super Modifieds. The USAC Midgets are slated to compete five times at Madera in 2012.
