Limaland Motorsports Park will have nineteen race events during the 2012 racing season. The Season Opening Shootout is Friday, April 20th and the final race is the Limaland Motorsports Park / Engine Pro NRA Sprint Invaders Season Championships with the King of the Quarter-Mile Races on Friday, August 31st.
The premier event on the schedule is the 24th Annual Brad Doty Classic slated for Wednesday, July 11th. It marks the return of the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series to the famed high-banks of Limaland.
Limaland will be continuing its partnership with NASCAR as a Home Track in 2012. The Modifieds and Thunderstocks will be participating in the Whelen All-American Series which will provide competitors with an increased point fund at Limaland as well as recognition at the state and national level.
Ticket prices for the 2012 season will remain the same as in previous years in an effort to allow fans, teams and their families to continue to enjoy the affordable weekly race events. As always, children, 10 and under, will be admitted in for free at all regular race events on the spectator side of the track. “I think this is the best schedule that we have assembled in our fifteen years of operation. The variety of sanctioning groups and classes of race cars is sure to thrill the fans each and every week”, said Bob Fricke, General Manager.
