Waynesfield opener scheduled for April 22

WAYNESFIELD — Waynesfield Raceway Park will hold its season opener April 22 with all five weekly classes returning for full points chases.

The Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series (BOSS) has signed on for two events during the 2017 season. The first will take place July 8 for the annual Dick Spencer Memorial race paying $1,500 to win for non-wing sprint cars. For the first time in track history, BOSS will sanction Waynesfield’s flagship event, the Jack Hewitt Classic. The ninth running of the event will take place Aug. 5 with $3,000 awaiting the winner and $300 for just making it into the show.

Monday night, July 3, will see the return of the Summer Sprint Sizzler, featuring a diverse field of open wheel competitors. The F.A.S.T winged 410 and 305 sprint cars will headline the Independence Day weekend special. Appearances from the NRA Sprint Invaders and Waynesfield’s very own AMSA Mini Sprints are also scheduled.

Dubbed the “Best Show of Speedweek,” Waynesfield will occupy race three of Ohio Sprint Speedweek featuring the All Star Circuit of Champions on Sunday, June 18. For the second year in a row, the NRA Sprint Invaders will also be on the program, filling out the night of sprint car racing. NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Rico Abreu expressed interest in the weeklong tour of Ohio during the national Performance Racing Industry show in Indianapolis. A stop for Abreu would make his first-ever visit to Waynesfield.
