"John Watson and the entire staff of the Tyler County Speedway have been great supporters of the FASTRAK Racing Series and we are excited to make our second visit to the facility this Saturday," commented FASTRAK Mid-Ohio Valley Director Joel Prosser. "The Bullring as it is affectionately nicknamed always provides some exciting racing action and the FASTRAK teams, officials and fans are looking forward to a great program on Saturday."
The feature events will honor two of the area's finest competitors, Beecher Eaton and Bill Childers. Eaton, a resident of Wheeling, WV, was a standout Late Model competitor who competed at many tracks in the area. He is the father of current and former Tyler County Super Late Model competitors Brian, Doug and Mike Eaton and the grandfather of E-Mod driver Cody Eaton.
Like Eaton, Childers, a resident of St. Marys, WV, was a legendary competitor at many Mid-Ohio Valley tracks. Unfortunately Bill passed away of a heart attack while in the pit area of the Tyler County Speedway.
FASTRAK Mid-Ohio Valley is also proud to announce that Wayside Furniture if New Martinsville, WV is sponsoring the FASTRAK action this Saturday. The family owned business is located at 1000 Third Street in New Martinsville and offers a great selection of furniture, appliances, mattresses and electronics.
