butlers biggest fan theresa - 8/9/2009 To Bill who posted June of 08, YES!!!! I am Jim Whitley''s daughter.
Webmaster: it is .net now instead of .com
Garrett - 10/27/2008 It has been a LONG time since I went to this place. It must have been in the mid 70s or so. We probably went to watch sprints or something then as the Mods and Supermods were begining to disappear from local tracks at the time. During the late 60s-early 70s, this place used to have some awsome Super Modified races. It was, along with Clark(now I-96) THE place in the state to go and watch SOD or early WOO races. I didn''t notice this place on the current WOO schedule this past year, so they must not stop here anymore. I remember sitting in the grandstands of this place when I was little and it seemed like the cars were a mile away! The place sure looks smaller than I remember. All the great ones used to run there though.
Bill - 6/7/2008 Hey Theresa Whitley......any relation to Jim from Dexter????
taz: p.s. for those that dont know, art breithwait passed away this month. he will be missed by the racing world, and truley missed by any or all of us who grew up, or ever raced at butler speedway. art will always be remembered. for info surrounding his passing, refer to the proboards link i posted, or www.tjslideways.com thanks again -taz
taz: wow! new owners, new clay, lots of improvements to the facility! gonna be a rockin season. check out the web site, or the message board http://dirtracer48.proboards50.com/index.cgi? see you there! -taz
John: Butler is going back to Saturday night racing, under new management. Because they lost a lot of the big races from the switch to Friday nights a couple of years ago, it''s taking them some doing to get those shows back. Here''s a link to the current website: http://www.butlerspeedway.net/index.asp
Cat kline: world of outlaws when will they be at your track.
Randy: The track opened as a 1/4 mile dirt oval in 1952. It was expanded to 3/8 mile in 1956. The track has also operated as Butler Battlegrounds and Butler Motor Speedway.
THERESA WHITLEY: THIS IS BUTLER''S BIGGEST FAN WISHING ANY AND EVERYONE A VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON! I WENT TO SEE SANTA AND WHEN HE ASKED ME WHAT I WANTED FOR CHRISTMAS I TOLD HIM THIS, "SANTA, I JUST WANT BUTLER MOTOR SPEEDWAY TO STAY OPEN AND RUN THIS COMING 2008 SEASON!" FORGET WORLD PEACE AND LOVE ON EARTH!! I FIND PEACE FROM SMELLING SPRINT CAR FUMES AND THE EARTH IS THAT GRITTY STUFF I WASH OUT OF MY LEFT EAR AFTER THE RACES! HAVE A GREAT OFF SEASON, HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL NEXT SPRING AT THE FASTEST 3/8 HIGH BANKED OVAL IN MICHIGAN!!
TAKE CARE
BUTLERS BIGGEST FAN
Lisa: My husband spoke to Ralph, owner of Galesburg track,and he confirmed he has purchased Butler. Racing will be Friday nights at 8pm. The website is changing and I think he said it will be Butler-Speedway.com and he hopes to have the site up tomorrow (3-7-06) and more info to quickly follow.
John Ignatowski: According to the Butler Motor Speedway website, the rumors of its sale, and being paved are false.
Chris Fobbe: Rumor has it that Galesburg Speedway owner/promoter Ralph Warning is in the works to purchase the track.
Chris Fobbe: Butler Motor Speedway has offically (I think) changed its name to Butler Battlegrounds.
