More bonus money for winged drivers at Tulare Thunderbowl on Sunday May 25
By Gary Thomas
Tulare, CA – May 12, 2008…With this morning’s announcement of bonus money up for grabs to winged sprint car drivers during the upcoming Salute to Indy at the Thunderbowl Raceway, more of it is coming in courtesy $500 from Guy Stockbridge of Elite Landscaping located in Clovis.
With Elite Landscaping’s contribution of $500 added to KRC Safety Equipment’s and Sharp Insurance’s donations of $500 each, a total of $1,500 will now be split between the top five highest finishing winged sprint car drivers during the USAC/CRA Wingless 410 Series sanctioned event on May 25.
The new figures will now be $500 for the highest finishing winged driver, $400 for the second, $300 for the third, $200 for the fourth and $100 for the fifth highest finisher. “We’re hoping this will entice some of the winged drivers to come on down since there aren’t any 410 races on Memorial Day weekend,” Don Sharp of Sharp Insurance & Bonding said. “We are definitely looking forward to this show and think it would be fun if we had some of the Northern & Central California regulars on hand.”
Last season’s inaugural Salute to Indy at the Tulare Thunderbowl was captured by wingless veteran Cory Kruseman of Ventura. The event saw a big crowd on hand and featured some outstanding racing on the 1/3 mile clay oval. In addition to the wingless regulars, three-time Oval Nationals champion Bud Kaeding is expected to be in action at the event this season and with the extra money hopefully a few more of the usual winged contingent will throw their name in the mix.

Good deal....Are there any plans to extend this to the highest finishing 360? That may help to draw some of the local bandit series cars.

Heard Bud will be in 83jr. Golobic will be at ORP in a midget, so he can't be there.

Yes Bud will be in Roth car.
Also wanted to add that this bonus is up for any 360 winged sprint car regulars who want to come and compete as well. It's not just for the 410 guys.
Hopefully somebody else can come on board and extend the bonus to any regular Bandit drivers as well. Anybody who would like to add to the pot or put up anything else please email me and we'll get you set up.
