The Stage is Set for an Awarding Night

SPRING VALLEY, Minnesota - Nov. 16, 2012 - Photo by Michael Roth Photography - The trophies are in, the tables are set, and the meals are being prepped for the 2012 Deer Creek Speedway Awards Banquet.  A sold out banquet hall will play host to over 350 fans, drivers, sponsors, and family members this Saturday night as we acknowledge the accomplishments of the most talented teams in the Midwest.
