Front Row Challenge/Ultimate Challenge “Best of Both Worlds” Ticket Renewals Kick Off February 7!

OSKALOOSA, IA (2/1/12) by DarinShort.com. News of this year’s format changes to both the 17^th Annual Musco Lighting Front Row Challenge® (August 6^th) and 11^th Annual Casey’s General Stores Ultimate Challenge™ (August 7^th) presented by Searsboro Telephone Company have resulted in record ticket inquiries to the Front Row Challenge Ent. LLC office.

And on Tuesday, February 7^th existing ticket holders can renew their requests to both of these blockbuster events by contacting the Front Row Challenge Ent. LLC office at 515-957-0020. The office is open weekly from 10AM-4PM (Central time) on Tuesday through Thursday.

For those race fans wishing to purchase tickets to the 2012 event that didn’t have tickets in 2011, remaining ticket sales will officially open on Tuesday, March 13^th.

Even with the announced format changes, there are no increases in ticket pricing.

Tickets to each event are reserved, and are $25 for adults (ages 13 and up). Ages 12 and under is $15 per event. The wildly popular “Infield Party Pass” is sold in advance for $20 for adults and just $5 for kids. The day of each event you can purchase an Infield Party Pass for $25.

In case you missed out on the recent announcement of the format changes, here’s what’s on tap for this year’s must-see events, held during the Cox Design and Metal Fabrication Inc. Southern Iowa Sprintweek:

Monday, August 6^th – 17^th Annual Musco Lighting Front Row Challenge (FRC) featuring a complete racing program for the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Car Series competing for $5,000 to win – or $50,000 to win from the back! And for the first time, the Monday program will also feature a preliminary night for Tuesday’s Ultimate Challenge for non-winged Sprint Cars – so race fans will get to see the best of both worlds of 410 Sprint Car divisions for the price of one! The top two finishers of the non-winged feature will lock into the Tuesday night Ultimate Challenge feature race. Sammy Swindell has won the FRC the past three years in a row – is it possible he can become the only 4-time winner, or will someone dethrone him in 2012?

Tuesday, August 7^th – 11^th Annual Casey’s General Stores Ultimate Challenge (UC) presented by Searsboro Telephone Company, with the winner of the non-winged USAC Sprint Car feature race taking home a whopping $15,000! A complete program will be on tap for the USAC Sprint Cars; plus for the first time, the Hinchman Racewear Winged 305 Sprint Cars will join the night’s racing program and will run heats and a championship feature. Young Kyle Larson took home the UC honors in 2011, and fans can expect another top-flight group of the world’s best non-winged sprint drivers for 2012.

I thought the reserved seats were way too crowded last year, had one but felt lots more comfortable when I moved to GA section.

Last year I thought it was ironic that Bryan Clausen didn't do like ole pro Sammy & turn down
"Back Row Challenge". He started negotiating ($100 per passed car, $3,000 top three, or something like that) and I think he passed 6 guys before dropping out, Kyle Larson took pole position & won (bird in the hand!)

Lots of fun promotions (foot race for drivers, match races for positions, etc.)

And here are details of the special awards in place for the top three finishers of the Winged 305 Sprint feature to be contested on August 7th as a part of the 11^th Annual Casey’s General Stores Ultimate Challenge™ presented by Searsboro Telephone Company:
