By Lonnie Wheatley

 

Tulsa, OK (March 17, 2009) – This weekend's season opening event for the Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car Dirt Series presented by K&N Filters at Devil's Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, TX, will be the first two in a run of ten shows to be broadcast on the VERSUS Network, and the air dates for each of the one-hour long broadcasts have been determined.

 

This weekend also marks the first opportunity for some creative race fans to garner their 15 minutes of fame, as there will be an award at each televised event for the best sign.

 

Fans devising the most creative and entertaining sign, within the realms of proper language and content, while also incorporating the Lucas Oil, K&N and ASCS logos will be deemed the winner. Prizes will be awarded at intermission with the winners and their signs displayed on the national telecast.
