Chillicothe, OH — (March 17, 2014) — After a frigid winter, the high-banks of Atomic Speedway are about to heat-up once again with an early-season start this coming Saturday, March 22. Early start times that show racing at 4 p.m. will kick off the race card of 410 Sprints, Late Models, Modifieds, and Sport Mods.
Gates open at 2 p.m. with hot laps at 4 p.m. Owner/promoter Brad McCown has waived the track registration fee, however, drivers should print off the sheet and fill it out prior to Saturday’s racing to save time signing in. *See AMRA note at bottom

Several divisional sponsors have come on board at Atomic this season. Atomic Speedway welcomes these sponsors, who have stepped to the plate to make each division even better. Pine Tree Towing and Recovery has signed on as the sponsor of the 410 Sprint Cars, Gullion Enterprises LLC has become the official sponsor of the AMRA Atomic Late Models, Advanced Services continues as the Modifieds sponsor, and C-M Racing Equipment has taken on the name role of the Sport Mods.

Atomic Speedway has signed a Hoosier Tire deal which means, “Hoosier Tires in all classes!” All Star tire rules will apply for Sprints Cars, Late Models must run a 1300 or harder compound, the AMRA tire rules apply for Modifieds, and Street Stocks and Sport Mods have until June 1 to burn off tires other than Hoosier.
