$85,000+ City Vending November Sprint Shootout 11/13-14
8/11/09, DarinShort.com. Five weeks after the $85,000 Cowtown Sprint Nationals October 9-10, Cowtown Speedway wrap up the 2009 racing season with the 3rd annual November Sprint Shootout presented by City Vending and the ASCS2 Series Finale presented by Eagle Chassis to be held on November 13-14, 2009.
Want more action? The November Sprint Shootout (NSS) in 2007 and 2008 left fans screaming "we want more!" So it's been decided. You're going to get what you asked for:
Even more racing and more money is on the line for the NSS. Twin (or Triple) 25's for the sprint cars will kick off the weekend's action in the Friday night program. If there are 46+ sprints in the pits Friday (as was the case in '08), Triple 25's will be run. All sprint cars in the pits will make an 'A' feature that night, each paying $1,000 to win with payback for every starting position. And the popular ASCS passing points system will go into effect on Friday night, which will determine Saturday night's line-ups.
Saturday's last chance races will fill the balance of the field for the 35-lap November Sprint Shootout, with the winner picking up a cool $7,000 (up from $5000 in '08); with 2nd paying $4000, 3rd $3000, 4th $2000, and down to $500 to start (24th, up from $400 to start in '08). All non-qualifiers Saturday night will receive at least $100.
More NSS Invaders? Last year's NSS saw several regional and national 'invaders' converging upon Cowtown Speedway. With no major winged sprint race scheduled in the region, it's possible that several traveling teams will take to the ¼ mile high banks of Cowtown Arkansas's Tim Crawley took home the win, with Kansas's Tony Bruce Jr. coming in second and Louisiana's Jason Johnson finished in third.
Driver Pre-registration for Pit Parking Requests is Required. As was the case in 2008, driver pre-entry on the track website is highly recommended, as it will reserve your parking space in the pit area. A limited amount of concrete padded spaces are available, so if you need one, you should register as soon as possible. Phone-in entries and phone-in parking requests will not be taken by unregistered drivers. Pre-entry is requested by November 8th, but if you have specific parking requests, you will want to enter as soon as possible; as we are expecting well over 200 cars total for the weekend. (Over 250 cars were in the pits at the last Cowtown show that had this same format.)
FOUR Great Divisions Join the NSS action. Joining the sprint cars will be the exciting full-blown Cowtown Modifieds and the local's favorite, Limited Modifieds. Their format will be heats and qualifiers on Friday, and non-qualifier races and feature races on Saturday. The Modifieds will pay $2,000 to win and the Limited Modifieds pay $1,500 to win (up from $1,000 to win in '08). Rules and complete payback are posted at the track website.
But that's not all. The ASCS2 divisions of the Winged Outlaw Multi's and the Non-Winged 600's will round out their season with the ASCS2 Series Finale presented by Eagle Chassis. The format will be the same as the modifieds, with heats and qualifiers on Friday and non-qualifier and feature races on Saturday. Each feature winner will take home $2,000. For division rules, click www.ASCS2racing.com for more information.
New Earlier Start Times in 2009. The city of Kennedale enforces a midnight curfew, and all racing must be completed by then. Friday night, the pits will now open at 3pm, with hot laps at 5:30 and racing starts at 6:00pm sharp – so make sure to arrive early! And on Saturday, the pits will open at 1:00pm, with hot laps at 3:30 and the first green flag drops at 4:00pm.
Save $10 by purchasing advance 2-day tickets. Fans can save $10 by purchasing their tickets online at www.CowtownSpeedway.com in advance (through November 12th - just one day before the race), as 2-day adult grandstand pass will cost just $35. Tickets will be available at the gate on race night for $20 on Friday and $25 on Saturday. Youth and child tickets will remain at just $5 and $2 on each night.
Please visit www.CowtownSpeedway.com to view the complete NSS event flyer, driver pre-registration, online ticket sales and for more information. You won't want to miss this season-ending event, as last year's event kept fans buzzing all winter long. Follow this link www.darinshort.com/NSS08.html for a recap, pictures and video clips of the 2008 NSS.
Travel & Weather tips for the NSS. There are two fly-in options: DFW International (services all major gateways) and Dallas Love Field (includes Southwest airlines and generally more 'regional' flights). For flight options, www.Travelocity.com is a great source of information. Their 'Last Minute Packages' offers excellent low-priced options that include flights, hotels and car rentals.
November weather trends usually have highs in the 70's and lows in the 50's. For the latest in Cowtown weather, there is a link on the home page of the track website.
Want more action? Get it at the November Sprint Shootout! This is the season-ending event at Cowtown, and we look forward to building this event each and every year, to give race teams and fans what they want most: more!

$85K November Sprint Shootout Weekend Grows A Day Due To Topless 100
Kennedale TX (10/22/09) by DarinShort.com. When Mother Nature through a monkey wrench into the Cowtown Sprint Nationals finale, it created a new twist to the 3rd Annual $85,000 November Sprint Shootout (NSS) presented by City Vending and the ASCS2 Series finale presented by Eagle Chassis. The NSS is set for November 13-14th at Cowtown Speedway in Kennedale TX.
That twist is the addition of "Fan Appreciation Night at the Topless 100" held on November 12th and the elimination of practice night for the NSS, which was originally set for the same night. So in other words, November 12th will be the conclusion of the October 11th events.
This night includes two Limited Modified qualifiers, and all three championship features: The Topless 100 for Modifieds, the 40-lap Topless Limited Modified Championships and the 30-lap Winged 600's Championships. No new race entries will be allowed, and drivers not previously set in the remaining qualifying grid are not allowed to compete.
Grandstand tickets for Fan Appreciation Night at the Topless 100 on November 12th are $0.00. That is not a misprint. Ticket prices for grandstand admission on November 12th are zero dollars for all age groups, regardless if you were in the grandstands on October 11th or not.
So, grab your in-laws, outlaws, outcasts, neighbors, foes, family and friends and bring them out to Cowtown for a night of great racing action…courtesy of Mother Nature. And we shouldn't have to worry about weather that night, as she certainly wouldn't rainout her own event.
Each competing team that is pre-qualified for this event on November 12th will be assigned six pit passes for that evening's event at no charge. The track has a list of those drivers and teams will sign in by car number to receive their November 12th pit passes upon arrival that evening.
All events on November 12th will be paying the complete advertised purse set for October 11th ($2000 to win Topless Modifieds and $1500 each to win the Topless Limiteds and Winged 600's.).
Pit gates will open at 5pm and grandstands will open at 6pm. Hot laps will be at 6:30pm and races at 7pm sharp. Those that had purchased reserved seats for October 11th will still have access to the reserved section from that event on November 12th.
Any driver that is qualified for the November 12th program (the drivers of the two Limited Modified last chance qualifiers and all drivers in the Topless 100, Topless Limited Modified and Winged 600's) but cannot return to compete on November 12th can receive the advertised event starting money payback by notifying the track by email only, at [email protected] on or before October 31st.
Those drivers not available to return will then have their payback sent to them the following week by mail and their names will be removed from the November 12th line up and free pit pass list.
Again, no additional drivers or starting positions will be filled on the November 12th event. Each of the two Limited Modified last chance qualifiers will advance six cars to the feature starting field, regardless of any 'no-shows' for the November 12th event; as those drivers already opted to take their starting money instead of returning, so the total purse will remain the same regardless.
Race fans and teams will be rewarded for their patience, understanding and love of racing with the running of the Fan Appreciation Night at the Topless 100 on November 12th.
This event also concludes the www.SouthernMonthOfMoney.com 5-race sprint schedule.
As was the case with the Cowtown Sprint Nationals, drivers of all race divisions are urged to pre-enter online (only) by November 7th, as that guarantees your race hauler a reserved parking space in the pit area. Pit spaces will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Phone-in registrations are not accepted.
Over $10,000 has been added to the 2009 NSS purse, without any increased ticket price, pit pass price or entry fees. Complete November Sprint Shootout event details can be found at www.CowtownSpeedway.com as well as advance ticket information, pre-entering and more.
Don't miss the final weekend of racing for 2009 at Cowtown Speedway with the "Holy Grail of Open Wheel Racing" with the running of the November 12th Fan Appreciation Night at the Topless 100 and the November 13-14th November Sprint Shootout; featuring $7000 to win the Sprint finale. $2000 will be going to each of winners of the ASCS2 Series division's finale presented by Eagle Chassis; $2000 to win Modifieds and $1500 to win Limited Modifieds at the Fastest Li'l Dirt Track In Texas – Cowtown Speedway!

ALL Topless/NSS RACE TEAMS: Pit Parking For Nov. 12-14
We have a clear cut action plan for pit parking for the November 12th “Fan Appreciation Night at the Topless 100” and the November 13-14th November Sprint Shootout (NSS). Both events will be held at Cowtown Speedway.
We need each team to read and understand this plan prior to coming to the event, which will make it much easier for everyone; as we are expecting 200-250 race teams for the NSS on Nov. 13-14:
1. If you are a Topless Modified, Limited Modified or Winged 600 team that is qualified for the October 11th Cowtown Sprint Nationals, you will complete the balance of your event on November 12th and you will be pre-assigned the same parking spot as you were given on October 11th for the race on November 12th.
2. If you are qualified for the race on November 12th and if you plan to stay to race in the November Sprint Shootout on November 13th and 14th, please pre-enter for that event on the track website by November 7th. Bo will construct the NSS parking chart on November 9th and if you are not pre-entered your spot will be used for another NSS entered team after you leave the track on November 12th.
3. All race divisions: If you are not qualified to race on November 12th, please do not bring your race car to the track on November 12th as we will not be able to park you in the pit area, and we need all available spectator parking that night, as we are offering free admission.
4. Practice night for the NSS originally scheduled for November 12th has been cancelled.
5. The spaces not occupied for drivers competing at the November 12th event will be staked prior to the pit gate opening that day with driver’s names that have pre-registered for the NSS. So, you will not be able to change parking spaces from your CSN parking spot on November 12th.
6. And if you are a pre-qualified team for the November 12th event, and you plan not to race, you must submit an email to [email protected] on or before October 31st. Then we will release your parking space, process your payback and cancel your free pit passes for November 12th.
With the large amount of teams competing at the Cowtown Sprint Nationals in October, and by 168 of them taking the time to pre-enter, it has allowed us to make our pit parking as organized as possible…which in turn resulted in a very smooth process for everyone involved.
To get pre-registered for the November Sprint Shootout, click www.CowtownSpeedway.com for complete event details.
We would like to thank everyone for their cooperation on this process, as teams are doing a great job helping us to help make your weekend of racing as fun as possible!

Just a reminder that the pre-entry discount and reserved pit parking request ends on Sunday, November 8th.
If you've yet to enter, go to www.CowtownSpeedway.com and scroll down to the 2-step Race Preregistration section.
Pre-entering makes a huge impact as it helps Bo get the pit parking organized prior to your arrival and for your specific trailer size; etc.
Right now there are over 100 entries total, and my guestimate for total entries come race night is 249; but we'll easily have over 200 cars.

Crawley-TBJ-Hafertepe-Bacon Enter $86K NSS 11/13-14
Kennedale TX (11/7/09) by DarinShort.com. As the November 8th advance entry deadline and next weekend’s race dates approach, entries continue to stream in for the 3rd Annual $86,000 November Sprint Shootout (NSS) presented by City Vending at Cowtown Speedway on November 13th and 14th.
Well over 100 race division advance entries have been received, and once again fans can expect a NSS field over 200 cars total on race night. Five exciting race divisions are on the NSS weekend racing card.
Some of the early sprint entries include the 2008 Short Track Nationals champion, Tony Bruce Jr.; 2008 November Sprint Shootout champion, Tim Crawley; 2007 I-30/Cowtown Short Track Shootout champion, Sam Hafertepe Jr.; and 2009 TnT Champion, Brady Bacon.
Sprint teams are all gunning for the $7,000 to win 35-lap NSS Championship on Nov. 14th. Friday night's show includes sprint heats with passing points, which will line up the Twin-or Triple 25's, as all sprint teams will make an A-feature on that night. (If there are 46 or more sprints on Friday night, there will be Triple 25's, as was the case in 2008.)
Many of the sprint teams are on their way to Tucson for the Lucas Oil ASCS Series finale the following weekend, so another strong field of NSS teams is expected.
The event also features the ASCS2 Series Finale presented by Eagle Chassis ( www.EagleChassis.com ) that pays each of the two ASCS2 event winners $2,000. The always intense Cowtown Modifieds are racing for $2,000 to win and $1,500 awaits the winner of the Limited Modified championships.
The NSS event purse has risen from $85,000 to $86,000. $1,000 has been added to the Saturday night non-qualifier purse, and will be distributed as follows: $1,000 will be split between each of the first non-transfer sprint finishers to the A-feature from the B-features. In 2008 there were three sprint B-features at the NSS; which meant that the top six finishers advanced to the A-feature. If that is the case in 2009’s NSS, it would result in each 7th place B feature finishers will receive $434. If there are two B-features, that would result in the top 9 from each B joining the A-feature and 10th place in each B-feature finish will receive $600.
For the sprint teams, early entry (by Nov. 8), guarantees reserved pit parking space to the event. There is no late penalty (or increased entry fee) by entering after Nov. 8.
For the modified, limited modifieds and both ASCS2 divisions, a pre-entry discount and reserved pit spaces are available if entered by Nov. 8. Entries received after Nov. 8 will be at the standard entry fee to the event, and their pit parking spaces will be assigned by the race track management on the day of the race for those teams. Phone in parking requests are not accepted without pre-entering.
And race fans can take advantage of our traditional 2-day passes, if purchased by Nov. 12th (the day before the NSS), are just $35; which is $10 off of race night pricing. A limited supply of reserved-seat 2-day passes is also available for $40.
To pre-enter, purchase advance tickets, NSS event flyer and much more, click www.CowtownSpeedway.com and don’t forget to join us for FREE grandstand admission to the “Fan Appreciation Night at the Topless 100” on November 12th – which is the conclusion of the 200 laps of championship racing remaining from the October 11th rain-delayed event.
On November 14th Palm Harbor Homes (www.palmharbor.com/racing ) will return to Cowtown for another one of their family fun promotions, which result in outrageous 50/50 jackpot amounts (both 2009 promos resulted in prize winners receiving over $1,000 each), lots of cash and prize winners, giveaways and much more. Make sure you stop by their display upon entering the race track to be a part of the fun.
Join us for a weekend of more purse money, more cars and more fun at the 3rd Annual November Sprint Shootout presented by City Vending at the Fastest Li’l Dirt Track In Texas, Cowtown Speedway!
