Less than 4 weeks until the 3rd LoneStar Sprint Smackdown & Bumped-Up LoneStar Speedway season points opener, Saturday, Feb 11th

 

Kilgore, TX (01/16/17) -.The 70' wide expanses of LoneStar Speedway hosted several phenomenal racing events in 2016. Nightly there was side-by-side racing, drivers coming from the back to win, wild finishes - and the new season fires up in less than 4 weeks, Saturday night, February 11th at 6pm; when fans will be treated to a huge night of racing: the 3rd Annual Sprint Smackdown and bumped-up LoneStar Speedway season points opener.

 

To get everyone's blood circulating, here's the first 15 non-stop laps of last year's Sprint Smackdown feature race, which was LOADED with wild action, including: the race leader smacking the backstretch wall while he was flat-footed around the track, 2nd place doing a snap-spin directly in front of entire field - and everyone cleared the fracas and the race stayed green - to a lead change, culminating with the original 2nd place driver working all the way back to 2nd only to get caught up with a lap car to bringing out the yellow: https://youtu.be/_KXemtbg_TM

 

So we're looking forward to another exciting Sprint Smackdown, here are complete details:

 

REMINDER: The open practice day (for any dirt track racing division) was recently moved from Sunday Feb 5, to Friday Feb 10 from 7-10pm (night before the race). This will allow race teams to shake down

their new cars under race night conditions. All pit passes all ages will be $15 on Feb 10th. Grandstand viewing is free.

 

Racing action fires off Saturday February 11th at 6PM. (The sun goes down at 6:01pm, which will coincide perfectly.)

 

The Pit Gate will open by 3pm, while the main grandstand area will open by 4:30pm. The driver's draw cut-off for heat races is 5:15pm, with a driver's meeting set for 5:45pm. Hot laps will fire off at 6pm with racing to follow immediately.

A JUMBO-SIZED competitor purse is slated in all racing divisions, and the breakdown is as follows:

 

SPRINT CARS (note that we chose to add more purse in the middle of the field instead of putting it all on top, so it benefits more race teams): $1,200/win - $800 - $600 - $550 - $500 (5th) - $450 - $400 - $350 - $320 - $300 (10th) - $280 - $260 - $240 - $220 - $200 (to 24th...not 20th!).
