Hundreds of eggs will be hidden behind the main grandstand in a designated grass field area. Ages will be divided up so even the young ones can get their fair share of the eggs. The Speedway will also have numerous give-a-ways for the early arriving kids.
Point race #4 will feature five racing divisions led by the 410 winged sprint cars, dirt modifieds, limited late models, winged economy sprints and hobby stocks.
