KNOXVILLE, IOWA (August 18, 2015) – The National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum will head back to Moberly, Missouri, on Friday, August 28, with its “Museum Madness” program, in conjunction with that night’s FVP National Sprint League (NSL) sprint car race. Headlining the museum display will be NSCHoF inductee Bill Utz of Sedalia, Missouri, his famed Ol’ Yeller number 56 sprint car, and the late Ken Taylor’s restored number 96 super-modified.
Said museum curator Tom Schmeh today, “I can’t thank Chuck Hines and Bill Utz enough for their support of our efforts. They were both at the originally-scheduled event in May, which was postponed due to rainy weather, with the vintage cars. Also, our Museum Madness event at the Britt, Iowa, NSL show went very well, so we are excited to be bringing some really special prizes to Moberly late next week. If you are sprint car fan in Missouri, you will want to be at Moberly next Friday night, August 28, for the NSL-sanctioned winged 410-cubic-inch sprint car races and Museum Madness.”
The museum booth at Moberly will feature both restored cars and a table with the following informational brochures: museum membership program, Racers at Rest program, Stay in School program, Expand the Dream program, A Brick at a Time program, museum store catalog and www.missourisprintcarracing.com. In addition, thirty museum-related special prizes will be given away to lucky fans that night.
The “National Sprint Car Museum Madness” promotional program will take place at the following NSL races this late summer and fall:
August 28 – Moberly, Missouri,
August 30 – Sun Prairie, Wisconsin (with Interstate Racing Association),
September 4 – Jackson, Minnesota,
September 6 – Brandon, South Dakota, and
