2nd Annual $120,000 LoneStar Sprint Nationals Event Flyer Released
Kilgore TX (2/23/12) by DarinShort.com. A whopping $120,000 cash purse has
been posted for the 2nd Annual LoneStar Sprint Nationals (LSN) this coming
October 11-13, 2012 and today the event flyer has been released. Please click
www.darinshort.com/SCN.html to view the flyer details.
Every major LSN event sponsor from 2011 has renewed their commitment for the
2012 LSN. The LSN is Sponsored in part by Smiley's Racing Products, The Oil
Medics, KJC Auto Title Loans, Eagle Motorsports, Palm Harbor Homes, Kear's
Speed Shop , Outlaw Wings and ABC Auto Parts. Several associate sponsors are
in the works and will be announced when they become available. Please email
Darin at dssm93@msn.com for event sponsorship inquiries.
The LSN is a three-day, Sprint Car-only show featuring two divisions: Winged
Sprint Cars and Winged RaceSaver® Sprint Cars, and is held at LoneStar
Speedway in Kilgore, TX. LoneStar Speedway is a brightly lit, fast, high-banked
3/8 mile clay oval. Over 130 sprint teams entered the 2011 event with over 100
racing each night.
Qualifying night (Thursday/Friday) 30-lap A-features pay $2,000 to win and $200 to
start for the Sprint Car division; and $500 to win and $100 to start for the
RaceSaver® Sprint Cars. No time trials.
Saturday night’s Sprint Car division 40-lap 25-car feature pays $13,000 to win and
$1,200 to start; and $2,200 to win and $400 to start the RaceSaver® Sprint Car 30-
lap 25-car championship race.
As impressive as the purse for this event is, race fans can purchase a 3-day adult
grandstand pass for 1980’s pricing of only $40 upon their arrival at the track on
race night. Or, individual night tickets are $15 each for Thursday and Friday, and
just $20 on Saturday’s blockbuster event.
The Sprint Car division is for ASCS legal cars, and Sprint Cars will be teched by
ASCS. The LSN is an ASCS sanctioned, non-points race for the Sprint Car
division. The early entry fee for this class remains at $100 for this race and pit
passes are the same as 2011, which are $30 each on Thursday and Friday; and
$35 on Saturday. A 3-day pit pass will be available for $90. There is roughly an
$11,000 increase in the Sprint Division purse slated for 2012.
RaceSaver® Sprint Cars will be teched by RaceSaver.com rules and officials with
one exception. Drivers may choose whether they wish to run the STS or SST
stamped right rear tire – as was the case in 2011. The early entry fee for this class
is $100 for this race and pit passes are the same as 2011, which are $30 each on
Thursday and Friday; and $35 on Saturday. A 3-day pit pass will be available for
$90. There is roughly a $9,000 purse increase for the RaceSaver® Sprint division
for 2012.
Registration for the LSN will open up on Thursday, March 1st. Each division is
limited to the first 80 entries received. By clicking
www.darinshort.com/SCNdrivers.html race teams can access the event
registration page, which will go live on March 1.
Fans and race teams can also expect a large amount of track vendors, outside
food and merchandise vendors, as was the case last year.
Track owner Sam Hafertepe comments: “We’ve been working hard in the off
season continuing with project work at the track. It’s all coming along really well
and we’re looking forward to a great season. Darin has been working hard on his
end too, and I think we’ve developed a really good combination.”
Lisa Hafertepe adds: “The whole LoneStar staff is pumped up for 2012 and every
single one of them can’t wait until the return of the LoneStar Sprint Nationals. We
all had a blast last year and the massive amount of positive fan emails after the
LSN encourages us to work even harder this year to make sure they have another
great time.”
Darin Short comments: “Last year we had a lot to prove, and I would like to thank
our sponsors for their unwavering support of this event. Without them, it would
be very difficult to pull off an event of this magnitude – while still making it one of
the most fan-affordable major sprint car events in the U.S.” He adds: “For a race
fan to witness three nights of sprint car-only racing for $40 is a great deal. I
believe we’ll have even a stronger turnout of fans for this year’s race.”
Bill Wright, AKA “Bill W,” of Monroe Iowa will be returning to provide the call for
the Sprint division. He will also conduct the competitors draw-in for both the
Sprint and RaceSaver® divisions. Bill W has been on the media side of the sport
for over 15 years as a journalist, website editor, broadcaster and announcer. His
weekly 'Knoxville News' recap can be found on racing sites worldwide. Bill W is
the announcer for the Sprint Invaders, Midwest Open Wheel Association as well
as several other events.
RacinBoys.com will also return to provide audio webcast of the event, for those
not able to make it to the event. They will also provide post-event video footage.
At last year’s LSN we promised three nights of exciting Sprint Car racing
action…and delivered on that promise. If you’d like to check out some of the
action from the 2011 LSN, there are several video clips loaded at the event
website from Don Cook of the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram and RacinBoys.com.
Complete event details, flyers, purse, rules and much more can be accessed at
www.darinshort.com/SCN.html - however the registration page will not open until
March 1.
In an effort to maintain unobstructed spectator viewing, open trailer and smaller
enclosed trailer teams will be pitted in the infield of the track, as in 2011.
