New Richmond, Wis., Jan. 4---America's newest indoor motorsports facility, the Amsoil Sandbox Arena at Cedar Lake Speedway, will host a two-day Badger Midget Series event on Saturday night/Sunday afternoon, March 29-30, in a joint announcement made today between event organizers and the sanctioning body.
The 120,000 square foot facility opened in October 2007 and has hosted weekly motocross racing on the dirt motocross track. In mid-March, track officials will replace the motocross design with a clay oval measuring between 1/4-1/5-mile, and wall and safety fencing will also be put in place for the event. The facility currently seats approximately 4,000 spectators.
The event will be the season opener for the Badger Midget Auto Racing Association, the country's oldest midget auto racing organization, and will feature two complete shows. A complete field of Badger drivers and cars along with many nationally known open wheel drivers are expected to compete. Practice will be on Friday night, March 28 with racing both Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. Practice is $20 per car and free to all guests who purchase a 2-day pass.
