KUTZTOWN, Pa. -- The Kutztown Fairgrounds Speedway 2009 point fund checks will be mailed to top finishers in the 600cc Wingless Micro-Sprint, 270cc Micro-Sprint and Slingshot divisions.

The scheduled Awards Banquet for Nov. 20 at C.J. Hummel's in Lenhartsville, Pa., will not be held this year, due to the rain-marred '09 season at the one-fifth-mile clay oval.

"We wanted to end the year with a Banquet, but it's just not feasible this season," Kutztown promoter Kerry Meitzler said. "With all the rain we had, plus starting out so late looking for sponsorship because of negotiations with the fair board, we will mail the racers their money.

"Race teams will save money by not having to buy tickets for a Banquet this year."

Racing at Kutztown in 2010 gets underway on May 12 under the leadership of the Meitzler family. The 600cc Micro-Sprints, 270cc Micro-Sprints and Slingshots will be weekly attractions at Kutztown next season, with touring series special events to be determined.

A tentative schedule has been posted at: www.kutztownfairspeedway.com.
