Dixie Motor Speedway Moves ARCA/CRA Super Series Powered by JEGS Event To Auto City Speedway
Friday, August 16th event is now Big One XI with Auto Value Super Sprints Series (Special from Dixie Motor Speedway)
Birch Run, Michigan (July 29, 2013) – Dixie Motor Speedway and Auto City Speedway officials officially confirmed that, for the first time, Big One XI will be held at Auto City Speedway on Friday, August 16.
The event features the Mid-Michigan Toyota Dealers 125 for the ARCA/CRA Super Series Powered by JEGS along with the Auto Value / Bumper to Bumper Super Sprints. "We are very pleased to be able to partner with Auto City to bring this race to mid-Michigan and save what has become an iconic event for Dixie", said Mike Kern, track owner. Bombers and Fig-8's are also on the schedule.
The 3rd annual Mid-Michigan Toyota Dealers 125 highlights the evening featuring the ARCA/CRA Super Series which has become the premier template super late model series in the nation. Local JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by Chevrolet Performance stand out Dan Leeck will also be on hand to battle with the rest of the best.
Also confirmed was the General RV Eve of Destruction and Ethanol Night at the Races, now scheduled for Saturday, September 7th at Auto City Speedway. "This event has been the season finale for Dixie for quite a number of years and we are very grateful to our friends at Auto City to allow us their facility....especially on a Saturday", added Kern. The event also features the Pioneer Seed 50 lap Modified Invitational.
Bringing Dixie's events to Auto City certainly was unexpected, but between the two tracks, we have done all we can to salvage the remainder of Dixie's schedule. Scheduling more events would only diminish the shows Auto City has already scheduled and we're not willing to do that. We hope racers, sponsors and fans will continue to support us, especially during this challenging time, as we take our show on the road to Auto City....and by the sounds of things, they already are.
