Allen Turner Pro Late Model Series Opens Tonite The best way to open a new season at any speedway is with a special event. We kicked off 2015 with the “King of The Wing” sprint cars, then came back with the Deep South Crane Rentals Super Late Models for their first of 4 Blizzard Series races this year. We still think our fans deserve more so tonight it’s another 100 lapper for the Allen Turner Pro Late Models, along with the Faith Chapel Super Stocks, Beef O Brady’s Sportsman and the always exciting Butler U Pull It Bombers. The Pro Late Models will be treated to a double header as they will travel to Mobile International Speedway Saturday. This usually means more cars by having two 100 lappers the same weekend. Expect drivers such as Junior Niedecken, Larry Blount, from J a c k s o n v i l l e , Te x a n Ryan Luza, Johanna Long and a bunch more.
Any track that kicks the season off with 3 major events certainly deserves a pat on the back. Well, “hold on to your horses”, because we’re coming back in 2 weeks, May 22nd, with race number two for the Super Late’s. That’s right, another 100 lapper. And we will have our annual fireworks show on the night of the Rubber & Specialties Blizzard race.

Marty White We never like to build you up with exciting news just to end this article on a sad note. All the staff at Five Flags Speedway would like to send our condolences to Wayne Niedecken Jr. and his sister, Waynetta Head for the loss of their mother, Mary Ann Niedecken. Mary went to be with Wayne Sr. on April 28th and no one could have planned it any better as it was Wayne Sr’s birthday. Happy Birthday Mr. Wayne. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family. Mary Niedecken 1932-2015
