Junction City, KY- July 30, 2010- One of Kentucky’s oldest and most storied race tracks has new promoters as Donnie and Angie Sullivan, along with their son Donnie, Jr., are the new bosses at Ponderosa Speedway in Junction City, KY, a 3/8 mile D-shaped clay oval located just outside of Junction City, KY on the Boyle/Lincoln County border.

The Sullivan family resides in Stanford, KY. Mr. Sullivan has competed at the track over the past two seasons in the UMP Sportsman division and will now trade his helmet in and the family will don the promoters cap at the racing venue that can trace its roots back to late 1972.

“We are extremely excited to be at the promotional helm of such a historic racing facility”, stated the elder Sullivan. “We want to let the racers, race teams, and race fans to know they can expect new and exciting things for the future of Ponderosa Speedway”. Mr. Sullivan also added, “We will run the remainder of the 2010 racing schedule as it is, along with possibly adding some more events to the schedule after the Fall Classic weekend is completed the first weekend of October. We will keep the same divisions in competition that have raced so far during the 2010 race season and the payoff schedule for each division will remain the same”.

The Friday August 13 racing program will feature a full program of weekly racing series competition for the Good Neighbor Pharmacy Super Late Models, Bob Allen Motor Mall Pro Late Models, Clayton Homes UMP Modifieds, and D&D Pallet Recyclers UMP Sportsman.
