Lewis Automotive DCRP Sprint Car Nationals around the Corner!

Lonnie Wheatley, DODGE CITY, Kan. (May 24, 2017) – It’s little more than three weeks away.

The biggest 305-ci Sprint Car race to ever take place in the state of Kansas is set to unfold atop the 3/8-mile Dodge City Raceway Park clay oval on June 16-17.

The inaugural edition of the Lewis Automotive DCRP Sprint Car Nationals features two full nights of competition at the state-of-the-art facility that will culminate with the June 17 championship feature that offers up an unprecedented $3,000 winner’s share for the DCRP Sprint Car ranks.

While top Sprint Car drivers from throughout the region will flood the gun-slinging southwest Kansas town, the IMCA Modifieds will be in action on both nights with the IMCA Stock Cars joining in on the fun as well during the Saturday, June 17, finale.

There are just two more opportunities for Sprint Car teams to get dialed in for the Lewis Automotive DCRP Sprint Car Nationals including this Sunday’s Military Appreciation night and then the June 3 event that also features the Inaugural Stock Car Spectacular.

Standard Precise Racing Products DCRP Sprint Car rules will be in effect for the Lewis Automotive DCRP Sprint Car Nationals, with the following items to be noted:
