Dresden, August 30, 2014 -- Dresden Raceway will

A huge card has been planned for Monday afternoon,
highlighted by the return of the Shelly Goudreau Memorial Pace in honour of the
late local driving legend.
Monday's program will also feature a Racing Under Saddle

offering fans the chance to ride in a double seater jog cart between races.
There will also be plenty of prize and t-shirt giveaways
on Sunday and Monday. Post time both days will be 1:00 p.m.
"It's a great way to end off what has been a
terrific summer of racing here," said General Manager Greg Blanchard. "The support of the fans and the local
business community had been exceptional. I hope everyone can make it out for
what will be a fun final weekend."
Going into the final two programs of the season, the
wagering numbers at Dresden show an increase of 70% over 2013 totals.
