Early Entries Streaming In For Cowtown Sprint Nationals; October 8th-9th
Kennedale, TX (9/27/10) by DarinShort.com. Now just 11 days away, October 8-9, will mark the biggest race of the season at Cowtown Speedway with the running of the 3rd Annual Cowtown Sprint Nationals (CSN).
Early driver entries are streaming in to the speedway in the sprint car division. And another great field of ASCS2 teams is assembling, which will result in the final total CSN car count hovering around the 200 mark.
Drivers in all CSN racing divisions planning on attending this event are urged to pre-enter their cars, as the track will reserve a spot in the pit area for their hauler. Plus it allows fans to keep informed of the drivers coming. Drivers not pre-entering by the end of day Monday, October 4th will not receive a reserved pit space and they most likely will not get to park where they would like. Visit the track website to get registered today, as we expect a very full pit area; as was the case in the 2008 and 2009 event.
As of 9/30/10, here are the current sprint car driver entries, with many more expected to enter by next Monday’s (Oct. 4) early entry deadline:

We will update the entry list periodically between now and race weekend, including entries in the ASCS2 and Performance Transmissions raceTX.com Limited Modified divisions, so check the track website for the latest event updates.
Here is a breakdown of the weekend’s events that include six racing divisions:
Cowtown Sprint Nationals. This is the 3rd annual event, featuring drivers from throughout the region, plus many National invaders will all be slugging it out in a 30-lap feature race on Friday October 8th and a giant 40-lap, 24-car championship feature on October 9th. The inaugural winner was the 2007 Knoxville 410 Sprint Car point champion, Brian Brown. 49 sprint drivers competed in the inaugural event. 71 sprint teams competed in the 2009 event, with the finale getting rained out after a freak weather pattern settled over the speedway, so the purse money for the sprint cars was paid out and the balance of the program was run the night before the November Sprint Shootout. A practice night is scheduled for all race divisions on Thursday October 7th. Since the track’s reconfiguration in 2008 (15’ wider all the way around), it has resulted in incredible sprint racing with faster cars being able to advance their position regardless of their starting positions; which is a race fan’s dream.
Drivers. There is a $50 early registration fee for sprint cars, which will reserve the first 50 sprint teams a concrete padded pit space at the CSN. Sprint teams need to pre-enter at the track website in order to have a pit space reserved for them in the pit area. This allows the track to keep organized and race fans informed of will be racing throughout the weekend. Pre-entries must be received by October 4th. No phone-in registrations or pit reservations are allowed. Visit http://www.CowtownSpeedway.com to preregister. All other divisions are highly encouraged to pre-register at this time as well, as a very full pit area can be expected and parking requests will be fulfilled by entry date first.
Fans can expect to see many of the sprint car stars from the South, plus several national stars can be expected. Many ‘invaders’ from across the U.S. will also take on the ¼ mile high banks. The pre-entry list will be published as drivers sign up at the track website. This event is also the second to last ASCS2 series point’s race for 2010. The final ASCS2 division race will also take place at Cowtown during the running of the 4th Annual November Sprint Shootout on November 12-13th.
Two-day grandstand passes. Fans can save $10 by purchasing their tickets online at the track website through October 7 (the day before the race). A 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 (ages 6-11) and child (ages 3-5) tickets will remain at just $5 and $2 on each night. Visit http://www.CowtownSpeedway.com for complete details, including the event flyer. Pit passes are $35 each night and are available on race night by cash only; as the track payback is in cash. No checks allowed.
3rd Annual Cowtown Fan Fest. On October 9th, race fans of all ages holding event tickets for that night’s Nationals finale will be allowed into the pit area from 3pm until 4:10pm. Fans will be able to check out the cars and stars in all of the race divisions, take pictures, visit with the teams, purchase team apparel & merchandise; plus get a behind the scenes look before the action takes place on the track. Plus, many prizes will be given away to race program holders attending the Fan Fest.
Travel Tips. For flight options, http://www.Travelocity.com is a great source of information, especially by clicking their ‘Last Minute Deals’ section that includes hotels and even car rentals; many at heavily discounted prices. Also note that DFW serves as a major airport hub for the entire U.S., and with a bit of planning, you can fly in and out during the week affordably; so you can return for the following weekend’s racing action.
Also, Cowtown Speedway has two great, quality host hotels that offer special pricing for this event. Click their links at the track website to get your rooms reserved before they are gone.
Weather. October is typically dry and highs in the 80’s. We will monitor the weather as the event date gets closer and hopefully there will be no hoops and hurdles we have to jump through like in 2009 – but we’re prepared to juggle if we have to. An October 10th 2pm raindate is in place, just in case.
It’s Almost Here. We look forward to see many new teams and faces at the Cowtown Sprint Nationals, and please visit CowtownSpeedway.com for the latest event news, as the Nationals page will be updated regularly.
Plus, Don’t Miss The 4th Annual City Vending November Sprint Shootout (NSS) Presented by ShopTheBOSS.com, November 12-13, Cowtown Speedway, Kennedale, TX. The past three NSS’s produced over 200 race teams as they slugged it out over the weekend, with Arkansas’s Tim Crawley winning the 2008 NSS, while Brady Bacon took it all home in 2009. Be watching for the NSS event flyer, which will be released very soon.

Hoseheads Fans,
As the season begins to wind down across most of the country, the sprint car racing volume knob gets turned up to fog horn level down here.
At the Cowtown Sprint Nationals, we'll have a total car count of around 200 total each night; of which, around 50 will be sprint cars. (We're at 38 pre-entered as of this morning. We'll update the entry list again after the Oct. 4 early entry cutoff date.)
And we have two non-winged divisions racing (ASCS2 midgets & A-class 600's), which will put on a really good show on the high banks.
Advance 2-day grandstand passes will be available through the day before the race (Oct. 7) and are $35 for adults. Kids ages 3-5 can watch both nights for a total of $4 and Youth ages 6-11 can catch the weekend action for a total of $10.
Please click www.CowtownSpeedway.com for complete event information...also, the Nov. 12-13 November Sprint Shootout event flyer will be posted very soon.
Thanks and if any of you fans of Hoseheads make it down, make sure to stop by and say hello! The current weather trend is just been sunny, dry and highs in the 80's; hopefully that trend continues through the CSN!

PRACTICE NIGHT: Thu Oct 7, Sunny 79° HIGH, 56°LOW 0% PRECIP
QUALIFYING NIGHT: Fri Oct 8, Sunny 81° HIGH, 58° LOW 0% PRECIP
CHAMPIONSHIP NIGHT: Sat Oct 9, Sunny 78° HIGH, 60° LOW 0% PRECIP
THE PITS ARE FILLING UP FAST: there are now 40 sprint pre-entries confirmed, with upwards of another 10 expected, so we're definitely going to be at capacity come race night and pre-entering will save you a lot of hassle with parking your tow rig, save you $25 off of race night entry, plus reserve your pit space...so please get entered by Monday 10/4 if you haven't already.
Click www.CowtownSpeedway.com for the quick 2-step registration process (scroll down the page), and you'll be all set for a great weekend of racing...and THANK YOU.

www.cowtownspeedway.com/2010csnt.html
There will be a limited supply of these special event t-shirts available at the track when you arrive on race night. I believe the prices will remain the same as last year, which are $18.
