MSCS TO RACE AT THE LEGENDARY ACTION TRACK
IT’S A “SPRING FLING” FOR SPRINT CARS

     Haubstadt, IN - April 24, 2017.  The Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car
Series drivers will return to action after a weekend off by racing at
the Terre Haute Action Track on Sunday April 30th.  This event, which
is once again billed as the “Spring Fling,” will be the only
appearance for the series at a half mile track this season.  The
historic facility which is located at the Wabash Valley Fairgrounds
will also be hosting the Midwest Old Timers Race Cars as well as
presenting a full program of UMP Open Wheel Modifieds.  The entire
program that evening is designed to appeal to open wheel race fans!

     The “Spring Fling” at Terre Haute will pay the MSCS sprint cars
$3,000 to win and $300 to start.  Those amounts are above the
standard pay-off for the series and for the Fling event in the past. 
 The Sunday date along with the added purse money should attract the
very best 410 non-wing sprint drivers.

     The top five drivers in the current MSCS points standings are led by
Jarett Andretti of Indianapolis, IN.  He is just two points ahead of
three time MSCS Champion Brady Short and Illinois speedster Carson
Short.  The two drivers have both collected 123 points in the first
two races this season. A couple of young hard chargers complete the
top five.  Max McGhee is fourth and Dakota Jackson ranks fifth.

     Four time MSCS Champion Kyle Cummins is sixth in the points. Brandon
Morin, Donny Brackett, Tyler Rust, and Brandon Mattox finish out the
list for the top ten.  Tyler Rust currently leads the MSCS Rookie of
the Year points.  Eleventh and twelfth positions are held by Brent
Beauchamp and Jon Stanbrough.  Twenty nine of the 36 MSCS licensed
drivers have already been in action this season.

     Brady Short won the last “Spring Fling” to be held at the Terre Haute
Action Track which was in 2015. The two attempts to hold this event
in 2016 were both cancelled because of rainfall.  Jerry Coons
Jr.(2nd) and Carson Short (3rd) shared the THAT podium with Brady
Short in 2015.

     Thomas Meseraull and Chris Windom have won the features at the other
two MSCS events completed earlier this season.  As the series changes
locations to race, different drivers join the regulars to compete for
the prize money.  It is still very early in the 2017 season and
several drivers can be expected to make their first appearance with
MSCS for the season.  The legendary track beckons!  Some will take
the opportunity to race there an additional time and others have been
waiting for that very first opportunity to run at the Action Track!

     The pit gate will open at 3 o’clock.  The grand stands will open an
hour later at 4 o’clock.  Hot laps and group qualifying will get
underway at about 5:00 P.M. Sunday.  The drivers in each heat race
group will qualify together.  Then officials will then invert the
fastest qualifiers to create the heat race lineups.  The race will
then be on as usual!  Drivers will be battling for a high enough
finish to transfer to the feature.  THAT racing is set to begin at
6:30 P.M. Eastern Time.
