Memorial Day Weekend at Dirt’s Monster Half Mile means one thing…

The Ed Laboon Memorial is back.

This Saturday, May 23rd, we honor one of the most respected names in local racing with the 15th Annual Ed Laboon Memorial, featuring the Kehm Oil Penn Ohio Pro Stocks presented by West Mifflin Collision — one of the biggest and most competitive Pro Stock races of the season.

And it’s more than just a race night.

It’s a Great American Cookout at the Speedway.
