The next round of Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series action at the Lakeside Speedway takes place this Friday, May 18, for Casey’s General Stores Night featuring USRA Modifieds, Out-Pace USRA B-Mods and Holley USRA Stock Cars.

Just as Lakeside Speedway is celebrating 30 years of racing on the river’s edge, Casey’s General Stores is also celebrating a milestone anniversary. The first Casey’s store opened 50 years ago, and in celebration of Casey’s General Stores Night and anniversary, Lakeside Speedway will give away $50 Casey’s gift cards throughout the night’s race program.

Last week’s main-event winners included Brett Heeter with his second Holley USRA Stock Car taste of victory, Tim Powell for his fourth straight Out-Pace USRA B-Mod domination, and Darron Fuqua in USRA Modified action.
