Owensboro, KY (October 14, 2024): Windy Hollow Speedway hosted its annual “Race On Memorial” on Sunday, October 13th.
The event was originally scheduled for Saturday, September 28th but was postponed due to the remnants of Hurricane Helene dropping over 5” of rain on the 3/8 mile D-shaped oval.
The “Race On Memorial” was the idea of the late Jake Shown to memorialize those who have passed throughout the years in the racing community.
The event was packed with fan-friendly events including juice box races for the kids, kid’s bicycle races, dice throws for a fan to win money, as well as ride alongs for the Windy Hollow Speedway Kids Club.
The drivers were also treated to driver introductions for each class on the front stretch that included walkout music, and a tunnel including lights and fog, and custom trophies for feature winners and fast qualifiers.
“The Race On Memorial is the marquee event of the season on our schedule. Its a time for fans and drivers to pay tribute to those we have lost in the racing community. We always strive to make the event extra special,” said track promoter, Trevor Hutchins.
