Big O Speedway sanctions four USRA classes for 2020
ENNIS, Texas --The Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series will be a Saturday night fixture in 2020 at the Big O Speedway in Ennis, Texas, officials from the racetrack and United States Racing Association announced last week.
Racers in the USRA Modified, USRA Factory Stock, USRA Limited Mod and USRA Tuner divisions will compete for a stout national points fund as part of the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series, plus lucrative regional and track points funds and strong offering of contingency awards.
Competitors at the Big O Speedway will earn points in the MSD Performance Southern Region presented by MVT.
Opening in 1985 as the 85 Speedway (the track is located at 3118 FM 85 in Ennis), the popular 1/4-mile semi-banked clay oval got a name change when Bridget Moon acquired the facility in 2018 from Roger Archer who operated it for the previous 21 seasons.
After many improvements to the 5,000-seat venue, the new and improved Big O Speedway opened during the final weekend of May in 2018 with a full schedule in 2019 to follow.
Now a member of the USRA family, the Big O Speedway will host an open practice at 12 noon this Saturday, Dec. 28 (weather permitting). The 2020 racing season is slated to kick off Feb. 22.
