May 28th, 2015: Sunday is special day for Speedway 660’s youngest fans and drivers. It’s Kid’s Day in the Geary Woods featuring a 25 lap Bando Blast. The racing begins at 2PM, but everyone is invited to arrive early for a pre-race autograph session in the pits between 1 and 1:45PM. The annual candy scramble will also take place on Sunday during the intermission. 

Calling all Kids! 

“It’ll be an action packed day with lots of fun for race fans of all ages, especially the kids” said Speedway 660’s Max Roy. “Before the first green flag they’ll get to go into the pits to meet the drivers and check out the race cars, then they’ll see a full card of incredible racing including the Bando Blast.”  Brent Roy signs autographs 2014 Some youngsters may be a little shy but they all love to meet our drivers, get autographs and check out the race cars.
