The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series is set to make their annual visit to Hagerstown Speedway on April 22 with the running of the 36^th annual Stanley Schetrompf Classic.

The race is held in honor of Schetrompf, as he brought the famed Hub City oval to life in 1947.

Throughout the history of the Stanley Schetrompf Classic, the winner’s list of this prestigious event read of some of the best Dirt Late Model racers ever to race at Hagerstown Speedway.

Last year, Gregg Satterlee grabbed the upset win with a final lap pass of multi-time national champion Scott Bloomquist.

Six-time Schetrompf Classic winner Gary Stuhler already has two feature wins at Hagerstown in 2017, and has earned a guaranteed qualified position in this year’s running. He will be going to battle in the 60 Lap, $12,000 to-win main event against the likes of previous Schetrompf Classic winners Satterlee, Jimmy Owens, and Josh Richards.

Bloomquist has never won a Schetrompf Classic, and he will be looking to add this win to his resume. With the way the racing has been this season at Hagerstown, this night is shaping up to be one of the biggest and best races of the year.

Joining the LOLMDS on the card will be the Pure Stock division racing for double points and extra money in a 15 Lap feature race.

Pit gates open at 2pm, and general admission gates open at 5pm. Hot laps are scheduled to begin at 7pm. General admission is $32, reserved seats are $35, and pit admission is $45.

Free camping is available Friday and Saturday for those wishing to stay at the track. All units must be self-contained, no hook-ups on site.

For more information, please e-mail the track at info@hagerstownspeedway.com, or call the office at (301) 582-0640. Be sure to visit the official Hagerstown Speedway Facebook and Twitter pages for updates.

Don’t miss this race! We look forward and thank you for your visit this weekend.
