FREMONT, Ohio - Phil Gressman

Fremont Speedway Shuffle
adds incentive for front row starters
Wednesday, April 30, 2008
By Brian Liskai
FREMONT, Ohio - Many veterans
of dirt track racing can remember the days when the previous week's feature
winner had to start last in the next week's event. Coming from the back
of the pack created daring moves by the drivers, and excitement for the
fans.
Fremont Speedway Promoters
Rich Farmer and Andy James want to create that excitement again with a
similar program. Called the "Fremont Speedway Shuffle," the program offers
financial incentives for front row starters to move back in the pack to
start the A-main. Each week,
the pole-sitter for each
of the three feature events - the 30-lap main for the Fortball Pizza Palace
410 Sprints; the 25-lap main for the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints;
and the 20-lap main for the Fremont Fence & Guardrail Dirt Trucks -
will be given the option of moving back in the pack. If the pole-sitter
turns down the
challenge, the "shuffle"
option
is presented to the outside front row starter.
