Welcome to another round of racing at Benton County Speedway. What originally looked like a washout according to earlier forecasts turned into another nice night of racing with Mother Natures help. The opening points night is being brought to you by the fine folks at Fisher Towing.
I know alot of folks have been complaining about the track surface, but it will take some time for the new dirt to settle in. Vikette golfers edge Independence at Wildcat

Brian's View from the Grandstand: Week 1 at Vinton
Welcome to another season of Views from the Grandstands. The final night of the Frostbuster takes us to Vinton. First I want to mention a few things about the track. They removed the large white tractor tires and in their place they buried tires marking the racing surface. From what I heard, they retiled turns one and two and added quite a bit of dirt to the racing surface.
