CHILLICOTHE, OHIO-Atomic Speedway will host the season opener for the OVSCA Sprint Cars this Saturday, April 19, along with AMRA Modifieds, Sport Mods & Street Stocks. This week there will be no Late Models. Atomic Speedway management has also announced the running of the 1st Annual Bob Crace, Sr. Memorial on September 20.
Outlaw sprint cars at Atomic Speedway are the ‘perfect date’. The stars of the Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association will be sure to impress fans as a contingent of veteran drivers and daring youth challenge Ohio’s fastest 3/8 mile high-banked dirt track. Last year’s champion was Nathan Skaggs of Chillicothe, Ohio.
Crace, Sr. Memorial Slated
The legendary driver Bob Crace, Sr. raced at the speedway for 54 years, passing two weeks ago at the age of 80. Not only was Bob Sr. a great driver in his day, but his business ‘C-M Racing Equipment’ has serviced parts for Atomic Speedway for 27 years. Bob built championship motors for Late Models, Modifieds and Street Stocks. Event information follows with purse details dedicated to the #23 that Crace campaigned during his career.
Sept 20, 2014 at ATOMIC SPEEDWAY will be the 1st annual Bob Crace, Sr Memorial.

“Most importantly to me,” said owner Brad McCown, “Bob was a great friend. He and son Bob, Jr. have gone out of their way to help me no matter what I’ve asked for in the 20+ years I’ve known them. Bob’s 81st birthday would have been one day before his upcoming memorial race. I just ask that everyone comes out to honor him and remember all he has done for the racing community.”
Race #3 in the DREADLAND HAUNTED WOODS Enduro series will continue April 26 after the regular races are complete. This event will be a 50 lap Enduro with No entry fee. Racers can pay regular night admission prices and go racing. The event will have the same payout and rules as the first 2 Enduros.
