MAVERICKS TO HOST RACING FAN APPRECIATEION NIGHT
Hockey Team Helps Local Race Tracks in KC Area

(EDITORIAL) The Missouri Mavericks (ECHL - East Coast Hockey League) are hosting a night for Local Racing in February 8th and we at LostSpeedways.com hope everyone in the area will support it too.  It's always great when one sport helps another, but this is special.  The Hockey organization is going out of its way for Local race tracks in the area.  For this, we should ALL be Missouri Mavericks fans.  We wanted to share this great event to all of our fans and the passionate racing community of nearly 40,000 people who follow Lost Speedways and support Grassroots Racing.  The Mavericks want to help support local racing because so many people who attend their games are the same fan-base as local racing.  They have expressed that they don't want to see tracks go away like the Lost I-70 Speedway in Odessa, Missouri.  

If you care about Racing and / or Hockey, go support this event!  We hope the event is a success and we look forward to working with the team in 2016 on making it bigger!
Thanks,
Matthew Dillner
