However, An Event Will Be Held At The

OSR Legends To Race At Music City Motorplex In July
Nashville, TN (May
1st, 2008) - As part of the 50 years of asphalt racing in Nashville, TN, Music
City Motorplex along with help from Old School Racing founders Norm and Gene
Weaver, will hold a race for the racing legends at the Music City Motorplex on
Friday July 18, 2008. The race will feature such drivers as Geoff Bodine, Dave
Marcis, Jack Ingram, Larry Pollard, Joe Ruttman, Jimmy Hensley. Many of the
legends will be on hand for the festivities the rest of the weekend.
The race, which will start at 8:15 p.m., will be a 35-lap feature.
In addition, drivers will compete for one of the prized Copley guitars, one of
the most recognized and renowned trophies in the United States.
"It is great that Norm and I can be part of this great event," said
Gene Weaver. "We know that there will be a great turn out to see these legends
on the track again."
There will be an autograph session at 6:45 p.m.; this will be right
after qualifying so the fans will still feel the heat of the engines.
The Music City Motorplex has a great racing tradition and this year
marks the 50th year of racing at the famed high banked short track in
Nashville. The big birthday celebration will be kicked off with the inaugural
Old School Racing event July 18, followed on July 19th by the Strutmasters.com
150, a NASCAR Camping World Series event presented by event Dollar General and
the CRA Super Late Model 150 on July 20.
In addition to the race that will have the "old school" drivers
competing, there will also be another race that night that will include some of
the great local talent on display.
"We are excited to be a part of the "Old School" program. What
better way to celebrate our rich history of motorsports entertainment than to
have some of the Legends of NASCAR kick off our birthday 50th party with not
only an autograph session, but to see them compete as well. We believe this is
the "Don't Miss" event of the season' said Ron Jennett, General Manager of Music
City Motorplex.
