The Sunday afternoon of racing is sure to give fans plenty of excitement as the $2,010 to win show will also serve as the final Jim Dunn Memorial Qualifier which will award one driver an entry spot in the $10,000 to win, $500 to start special at the Midway Speedway in June.

The Modified class has produced it’s share of excitement thus far in 2017 and it’s sure to do the same again this Sunday, as the class will feature a $1,000, $150 to start special. While the racing has been intense in the Modifieds, Travis Dickson has led the pack scoring 3 wins to kick off 2017 but Dickson is sure to have his work cut out for him as an excellent field is expected to challenge him as he looks for win #4.

Also racing this Sunday will be the AMRA Sport Mods and 4-Cylinders which are expected to produce some more quality racing. Both divisions have seen their share of action and solid car counts are expected as James Dennis looks for win #4 on the season and Josh Ayers looks to defend his win following his late race triumph on April 28th.

For many race fans, the afternoon will be highlighted by more than the racing action itself, as the track will hold a special ceremony commemorating the cars to their honored drivers and allow fans to hear from the men who have helped make Skyline so special over the years. With the untimely passing of Ronnie Bond this past Sunday, the afternoon is sure to be emotional for the Bond family and the Skyline Speedway asks for your support as Ronnie’s son Andy will look to pilot his father’s famous #10 throughout the afternoon.
