ONA, WV-The Ona Speedway is set for one of it’s biggest events of the season, the 4th Annual K&J Demolition & Excavation Firecracker Extravaganza on August 4th-5th.

Friday night will boast the biggest Friday night race in the history of the speedway. The Contempo Trophy & Awards UCAR’s will headline the night with the Firecracker 40, the largest Ona sanctioned UCAR race of the season. The night will also be headlined by the first race of the Haunted Majestic Street Stock Extravaganza. The Street Stocks will race a 30 lap, $500 to win special on Friday in which the winner will be eligible for an $850 bonus if they win Saturday’s race #2, the 35 lap Summer Sizzler 35.

Lucas will once again be in action in the CRS Super Truck and will also be in action in the Late Model on Friday.
Race #2 of the Street Stock Extravaganza will see the class compete in the Summer Sizzler 35 paying $600 to win.
