Wagner Speedway Promoter, Reese Powers commented on the Speedway action saying, "the racing season has been great so far! We have had a few nights where we needed to cancel due to weather but other than that all has been good! We spent a lot of time during the offseason with dirt work on the track and making upgrades to the facility all around. We have also brought in the G.O.T.R.A. and W.I.N series this season and they both put on spectacular shows for our fans. We will also have the Tri-State Late models come on August 5th. We show our regular classes every Friday night and they have had some tough competition throughout. Most nights it’s come down to a last lap battle for the feature wins. We are thankful for the talented men and women who bring their cars to put on and show and extremely grateful for the community’s support that they bring to us."
