PADUCAH, Ky. — Beacon Dragway remembers those who have sacrificed everything as well as a beloved inspirational racer with the Teri Syers Memorial Bracket Race on Monday, May 26.

The Memorial Day race features guaranteed $2,000-to-win Super Pro and No Box races. There’s a $1,000 guaranteed purse for the Sportsman class winner.

Syers, who died in January, was an inspiration to those who knew her. She was a champion racer despite battling cancer.

Beacon Dragway was one of three drag strips Syers considered a home track. She won back-to-back Sportsman championships at I57 Dragstrip in 2023-04, and competed at Skelton Raceway. In addition, Syers raced her silver Chevy S-10 pickup at the IHRA Summit Team Finals and IHRA Summit SuperSeries World Finals.

Gates open at 8 a.m. with open time trails at 9 a.m. and official time trial at 11 a.m. Eliminations will follow. Spectator admission is $10 with kids 12-under admitted free.
