ASCS Gulf South Sprint Cars set to storm Houston Raceway Park Speedway Saturday

September 14, 2009

The Speedway at Houston Raceway Park will come to life next Saturday, September 19, 2009, for the Universal Technical Institute ASCS Sprint Car Challenge. This event will mark the last time the American Sprint Car Series hits the Speedway during the 2009 racing season. The race is presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts and Mustang CAT.

The Outlaw Winged Sprints will hit Houston Raceway’s nationally recognized, ¼ mile high-banked dirt oval Speedway and battle side-by-side, wheel to wheel, at speeds in excess of 120 mph.

“The speed and excitement of the American Sprint Car Series is undeniable,” said GM, Seth Angel. “To be able to smell the dirt and feel the energy in the air from the wind gusts produced from the wings of these machines is simply awesome.”

The racing action will also include the O’Reilly Auto Parts Speedway Series classes, VP Racing Fuels Limited Modifieds and the UMP Modifieds.

The action off the track will be just as exciting as one race fan will win the role as the Honorary Starter for the night, and have the opportunity to wave the green flag in the flag stand for the ASCS Sprint Car A-Main, the night’s feature race. Additionally, Extreme Trailers of Texas will give-a-way a FREE 6’x10’ Haulmark Trailer to one lucky race fan who signs up at the Official Souvenir store located behind the main Speedway grandstand.

Race fans will also be able to walk through the manufacturer/vendor midway and visit the Official souvenir shop of Houston Raceway during the races. The Speedway “Kid Zone” will feature the largest Houston area inflatable slide along with several other Moonwalks and attractions for the kids, including a rock walk provided by the United Sates ARMY. A 20 minute fireworks show, provided by the Texas Outlaw Fireworks Company, will take place during intermission, followed by our three A-Main feature events.
