'Bill W' Returns To Announce 2nd Annual Cowtown Sprint Nationals
Kennedale, TX (9/15/09) by DarinShort.com. Driver entries are flowing in, a record total purse for the track has been posted, avid fans are snatching up 2-passes on the track website, and the drama is starting to build for the 2nd annual Cowtown Sprint Nationals (CSN) presented by ShopTheBoss.com and Lone Star Speedway. The event is set for October 9-10 at Kennedale (D/FW) Texas's Cowtown Speedway.
The popular 'Bill W' has confirmed that he will be on hand, as he was in 2008, to call the sprint portion of the CSN.
Monroe Iowa's, Bill Wright (AKA Bill W), has been on the media side of the sport for 13 years as a journalist, website editor, broadcaster and announcer. His weekly 'Knoxville News' recap can be found on racing sites worldwide. Bill W is one of the voices of HoseheadsRadio.com, which has broadcast all the shows from the Knoxville Raceway as well as the Short Track Nationals in Little Rock the last several years.
Bill commented: “The caliber of drivers choosing to run this event just keeps getting better and better! Can we top a last lap pass for the win like we had last season? I've heard the renovations to the track are awesome, and I'm going to be there to find out...and coming south to Cowtown from Iowa in October is one more bonus!”
Bill concludes: “And I appreciate the opportunity Cowtown Speedway has given me to be a part of it all once again in 2009.”
Cowtown Speedway is very excited to have Bill W back to call the action, which will further enhance the race fan's overall experience while at Cowtown Speedway. Joining Bill W to call the ‘Topless 100’ portion of the weekend's events will be the colorful track announcer and KEGL radio personality, D-Rock.
The CSN is a 2-day event, featuring many of the top sprint car drivers in the country. It is the final 2009 points event for the ASCS Lone Star, Gulf South and Sooner regions. Plus, the Lucas Oil ASCS national tour is off that weekend, so several of their teams have already entered.
Nearly $10,000 has been added to the 2009 CSN. The sprint cars will have two complete shows, with heat races (using the ASCS passing points system) and feature races. Capping off Friday will be a 30-lap, 22-car feature event paying $2,000 to win and $300 to start. The top four finishers will lock into Saturday night’s 35-lap championship that pays a winner’s share of $8,000 and down to $400 for 24th. The sprint portion of the weekend’s $85,000 purse tops $50,000.
Drivers planning on competing at the CSN are urged to preregister at the track website, as that reserves them a pit space for their tow rig and keeps everyone as organized as possible – including Bill W – which the race fans will appreciate.
Even with the additional purse, there is no extra cost for fans or race teams in 2009. Advance 2-day adult grandstand passes are only available through the track website. 2-day passes are just $35, which will save $10 off walk-up prices on race weekend. Adult general admission on race night will be $20 for October 9th and $25 for October 10th. Youth and kids ticket prices remain the same as weekly pricing, which are $5 and $2 for each race night, and are available at the track on race night only.
For complete CSN event information, including event flyer, 2-day passes, track information, driver preregistration; and more, please visit www.CowtownSpeedway.com and click the ‘Cowtown Nationals’ link.
The CSN kicks off the $400,000 Southern Month Of Money. Please click www.SouthernMonthOfMoney.com for all five event details.
We look forward to seeing all of you, plus Bill W and D-Rock, for the Cowtown Sprint Nationals at the Fastest Lil' Dirt Track In Texas…Cowtown Speedway!
