On June 19, the Ken Ten Pro Late Model Series will hit the historic high banks of Salem Speedway in Salem, Ind., for the inaugural running of the Touchstone Energy Hoosier Hills 100.
“We’re really excited to be bringing the Ken Ten series to Salem,” said Craig Thompson, competition director for Ken Ten. “Richard (Deaton, Salem Speedway General Manager) called me about a race last season, but we already had our schedule made. We were sure to work out a date that was good for both of us this season,” said Thompson.
“Salem is such an historic track; it really adds prestige for Ken Ten to be able to visit (the track), and I’m sure it will be an exciting race for the fans,” said Thompson. “They stopped running late models at Salem several years ago, so this is going to be a great opportunity for fans to see late models run there again. We expect a lot of guys that used to be regulars at Salem to show up,” he added.
Familiar faces, new faces
Defending Ken Ten series champion Sammy Sanders, from Bowling Green, is scheduled to compete at Salem, as well as 2010 Corbin Speedway winner, and current point leader, Roger Parker, from London, Ky.
In addition, Will Kimmel of Sellersburg, Ind., Tony Conway of Louisville and Martin Belcher of Brooks, Ky., are all scheduled to compete. Kimmel, son of ARCA veteran crew chief Bill Kimmel, was the 2007 late model track champion at Salem Speedway.
Also scheduled to compete at Salem are Tennessee drivers Josh Weston from Mt. Juliet and Mason Mingus, from Brentwood.
Coble takes Beech Bend
Regular Ken Ten competitor Davey Coble of Madison, Tenn., took the victory in Friday night’s Best Western late model feature race at Beech Bend Speedway in Bowling Green. Coble was the AR Bodies fast qualifier when Ken Ten visited Corbin Speedway two weeks ago.
New Contingency Sponsor
The Ken Ten Pro Late Model Series is proud to welcome Dale Baum and Baum’s S&S Racing Supply to the series’ 2010 contingency program. Baum’s S&S will be offering $100 to any competitor that wins using tires purchased from Baum’s S&S.
