Senoia

Speedway will open this Saturday night for its 31st

season of racing and some renovations have been made to

make the 2000 season more comfortable and enjoyable for

the fans.

Hence

Pollard built the dirt track in 1969. He owned the

Speedway until 1981, when his son Sonny and his grandson

Bubba continued the family racing tradition. The dirt

track was covered in asphalt in 1989 and the speedway has

enjoyed a surge in popularity as auto racing has become

the fastest growing sport in the nation.

During the

off season, Floyd S. Lee (Smitty) worked on the track and

refurbished and renovated several areas. There is now a

new sound system that goes completely around the track,

as well as expanded trackside parking and refurbished

grandstands, concession areas and rest areas.

The

Speedway will feature short track racing in each of the

following classes: Late Model, Sportsman, Street,

Modified Mini, and all four divisions of Legends racing.

The speedway's web site, www.senoiaspeedway.com , will feature points standings and

individual stats for all the racers in all of the

classes, which should enhance the competition and fan

excitement.

The

speedway is open every Saturday. The pit gates open at 4

p.m., while the grandstands open at 5 p.m. Racing begins

at 7 p.m. For information, call 770-599-6161.
