ONA, WV-Saturday’s West Virginia Roar & Soar Cruise In & Plane Show has been postponed due to the threat of morning rain during the registration and show window. This was a very difficult decision to make, but rain chances, even if they aren’t a high chance, greatly effect the number of entrants to car shows. The good news is the event has now been rescheduled to Saturday, October 17th.
The forecast looks absolutely perfect on Sunday night for the One Way Septic Tank Service / Rent-A-Kann Firecracker Extravaganza. This event will bring a huge night of racing, giveaways, history and Cabell County’s most thrilling fireworks show to the speedway.
Drivers in all 8 Ona Speedway divisions will be racing for a special America 250 trophy that will go to the winner of each race. The All Seasons Powersports Late Models, Mountain Linked Modifieds, Skeens Towing and Recovery Street Stocks, Contempo Trophy & Awards UCAR’s, Legends Depot INEX Legends Cars, Brody Nash Century 21 Crown Vics, Complete Temperature Control Crazy Compacts and Keaton’s Collision Center Juice Boxes will all be in action.
The first 400 fans through the general admission gate will receive a special America 250 souvenir bracelet. During intermission, Ona Speedway will also celebrate a huge part of the speedway’s history with a Richard Petty tribute. Several pieces of autographed Richard Petty memorabilia will be given away as the speedway celebrates Petty’s 3 NASCAR Cup Series wins at Ona and the plaque presentation recently made in his honor.
After the final checkered flag falls, the lights will go down and the sky above Ona Speedway will light up with a huge fireworks show presented by Putnam County Bank and Bill & Lynn Bauer. This isn’t just a few fireworks after the races, this is a full fireworks show to close out one of the biggest nights of the season and send Labor Day Weekend out with a bang.
Pit gates will open at 1:30 pm Sunday while general admission gates will open at 5:00 pm. Racing will start at 6:30 pm.
General admission for the Firecracker Extravaganza is only $20 for ages 13 and up and FREE for ages 12 and under. All access pit passes are $35 for ages 13 and up and FREE for ages 12 and under.
