LoneStar Spring Sprint Invasion – April 7th

Kilgore TX (3/16/12) by DarinShort.com. The only 2012 scheduled visit of The Oil Medics ASCS Lone Star Series takes on the 3/8 mile high banks of LoneStar Speedway with the running of the LoneStar Spring Sprint Invasion on Saturday April 7th. The Modifieds will also be racing for $1,000 to win; plus Limited Modifieds and Factory Stocks will round out the racing card.

Fans can expect drivers such as Matt Covington (2011 series champion), Eric Baldaccini, Claud Estes III, Justin Melton, John Ricketts, Robert Byrom, Martin Edwards, Evan Pardo, Chad Wilson; plus a host of others, as very few sprint events are scheduled that night across the region.
