Rev'd up for local racing?



It’s time for Ona Speedway to open for the season.

The green flag drops on Saturday, April 7 for the first of 16 Saturday nights of racing in Classic, U-Car and Hobby Stock divisions. As of now, there are 106 cars registered, according to track co-owner Lynn Bauer.

Returning as track announcer will be Spencer Adkins of WOWK television.

Prices this year are $8 for adults and free for kids 7 and under. Pit passes are also available for $20 for ages 13 and up, $10 for ages 8 – 12 and free for age 7 and under.

The pits open at noon with pre-tech inspections at 12:30 and hot laps at 1 p.m. General admission gates open at 5 p.m. and racing begins at 7 p.m.

Racing will be the first three Saturdays of each month. Well, except for June. There are four Saturday nights of racing that month, but the first is the Super Cup Series returning to Ona.

A special attraction will be June 2 when Ona hosts the Super Cup Series on WV’s only asphalt track.


Super Cup director Joe Schmaling says the series is racing the way it used to be – big, heavy, truly stock, cars, drivers, no engineers and no computers.

Other stops on the Super Cup Series will be Columbus Motor Speedway, Motordrome Speedway, Old Dominion Speedway, Midvale Speedway and Lonesome Pine Speedway.
