Touring series top First Responder night at Speedway
Sep. 16—Saturday will be a special night at Anderson Speedway with plenty of racing action and honoring first responders.
All active first responders and a guest of their choice will gain free admission for the event, courtesy of Steve Vore and Anderson Speedway.
Drivers will display a sticker on their race cars to show their support for first responders, and the first 1,000 fans to enter the facility will also receive one of these exclusive stickers provided by SERVPRO of Central Ohio.
Four touring series are on the racing card presented by McGowan Insurance and Knapp Supply, including the longest race for the Vores Compact Touring Series.
