Salem, Ind. (January 16, 2003) -

The banked ½ mile oval, located just outside Mansfield, Ohio is presently undergoing some major improvements for the 2003 season. A new 6,500-seat grandstand is currently being erected on the front stretch, along with new restrooms and a new concession stand.  The pit area is also being expanded and improved so there will be plenty of room for every division competing in 2003. A new lighting system was installed prior to the 2002 season along with major improvements to the racing area.

“We are extremely happy to add Mansfield Motorsports Speedway to the 2003 Sunoco Super Series schedule,” remarked R.J. Scott, Managing Partner of the Sunoco Super Series. “With the major improvements that are in the process of being completed and the improvements that have already been done, this facility will be one of the nicest the Sunoco Super Series will visit during the 2003 season. This expansion east for the series will hopefully make the series more attractive to some drivers in eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania.”
