Defending Slinger Speedway Late Model Track Champion David Prunty will take on former Track Champions Brad “JJ” Mueller, Lowell Bennett, Al Schill, Conrad Morgan and Tony Strupp along with some of the best short track racers in the country.

The Miller Lite Spring Opener has a couple of changes over previous years. This year the traditional twin 75’s will be replaced by a 120-lap race run in two 60-lap segments. At the halfway point all cars will pit for adjustments and will return to the track for the second segment lined up just how they finished lap 60. The second change is all Slinger Speedway divisions will race in the Miller Lite Spring Opener. Traditionally only one or two divisions joined the Late Models on opening day.

Saturday April 21 fans will have the opportunity to view all the divisions of competition for the 2007-racing season during the annual practice day. The following divisions will practice by class: Late Model, Limited Late Model, Midwest Modified, Midwest Sportsman, Thunderstocks, Slinger Bees and Figure 8’s. General admission on practice day is free.
