CLOSED Nov. 3, 2007 OPEN Nov. 10 for "Foothills Fury" Early start time

STEWART, OHIO-Skyline Speedway near Stewart, Ohio will close this weekend November 3 to prepare for the upcoming "Foothills Fury", featuring an afternoon of fast racing and fall foliage. Race fans can enjoy a scenic drive into rural Appalachia for one of the nation's most scenic fall drives, and also enjoy an afternoon of exciting racing. Gates will open earlier than usual at 2 p.m. with racing beginning at 5 p.m. to beat the probable cool fall weather.

Highlighting the racing action will be the outlaw super sprint cars and super late models--the world's most powerful stock cars. Both classes will pay $1,500 to win. Late Models will pay $175 to start and sprints $200 to start. All other classes will run for the regular purse at this special Saturday afternoon event.

Other classes include Modifieds, Outlaw Street Stocks, Pure Streets, Four-cylinders (front wheel drive), and Mini-wedges.

Fans are invited to spend the weekend in rural Southeastern Ohio and enjoy the many scenic fall sites either before or after the races.

General Admission is $15 for adults and kids 6-12 $5 with pit passes available at $30. Skyline Speedway is located 12 miles east of Athens four miles out County Road 53 between Athens and Coolville at Stewart.
