Description

The final regular season night at Murray County Speedway was Friday evening. Farmer's Union Insurance of Marshall was championship night sponsor and they brought a fun crew. The group not only livened up the action, but sold Got Hope can coolers to help fight cancer and were all wearing pink for the occasion. At the end of the night, 6 drivers got done what they started back in April, a track title. Several classes had to be decided on the final night, which made it extra exciting for the fans that filled the stands. While there still is one more Saturday night special to round out the season on September 4th, it was also the finale for the track announcer. Jeff Erickson, the voice of Murray County Speedway for nearly 15 years, called his final race. He announced to the crowd at the beginning of the night that this would be his last season in the booth. The drivers along with track promoter Josh Schaffer came to the frontstretch at intermission to present him with a checkered flag signed by many of the regulars of MCS.
