FREMONT, Ohio (May 29, 2004) - Thanks to sponsorship by Beck Oil and Willie's Toro Lawn Mower Service, Fremont Speedway will offer a substantially increased purse for the 410 sprints, 305 sprints and Coors Light Dirt Trucks on Saturday, June 5. The 410 sprint feature will pay $3,000 to win, while the 305 sprint A-main will offer a $600 payday and the trucks will run for $400 to win.
 
"We have such great sponsors who want to work with us to make racing not only exciting for the fans, but to help the drivers make a little more money so they can continue doing what they love to do," said Fremont promoter Jim Ford. "The June 5 race was to be sponsored by Beck Oil only, but the folks at Willie's Toro had their night rained out earlier this year and they still wanted to do something for the fans and drivers, so they agreed to sign on as an associate sponsor. This will allow us to put more money into the purse."
 
"Not only is sponsoring a race night a Fremont Speedway a way to help the fans and drivers, but companies are finding out it can be a lot of fun for their employees as well as a great advertisement opportunity," said Ford. "Beck Oil always has a cookout for their employees at the race track during their night. Willies always brings out a display of their lawn equipment... It's just a great way to get involved in racing and provide a little fun for the company employees."
 
Not only with the 410 feature pay $3,000 to win, but it will also pay $300 to start. The 305 feature will not only see it's top spot increased to $600, but the A-main will pay $140 to start. The Coors Light Dirt Trucks will not only run for $400 to win the feature, but the main event for them will pay $70 to start.
 
Ford notes more money has been added to payout in all three divisions for finishing positiosn 11-20.
