LoneStar Schedule Changes for 8/11 & 8/25 Event Revealed

Kilgore TX (7/19/12) by DarinShort.com. The highly anticipated "LoneStar 25" is the next event on the LoneStar Speedway (LSS) schedule, set for Saturday, July 28th; and complete event details are posted at the track website listed below.

However, the popular final round of “Thunder on the High Banks” for Southern Thunder Sprints (STS) event scheduled for August 11th at LSS has been moved to August 25th which includes the existing program of Ark-La-Tex Winged Modified Series.

Although that means there will be no racing at LSS on August 11th, it will make for a great night of action packed racing on August 25th; as the three LSS points divisions will also be racing that night, with $1,000 to win Modifieds, $500 to win for the Limited Modifieds and $300 to win for the Factory Stocks.

A reminder that STS is RaceSaver® sanctioned, and drivers can also choose to run the Southern Thunder Sprint (STS) or Sprint Series of Texas (SST) right rear tire – and that goes for all remaining RaceSaver Sprint events at LoneStar in 2012. This is the final “Thunder on the High Banks” series events scheduled for 2012 at LSS.

Fans can expect STS drivers including: Alan Myers, Cody Harger, Cody Robbins, Marty Hargroeder, Ty Johnson, Regan Hawkins, Matt Ebarb, Koty Adams, David Forbis & a host of several others.

At this time, we’d also like to wish a speedy recovery to STS driver Josh Hawkins who was recently injured in a non-racing accident. We look forward to seeing him behind the wheel again soon!

A much more suitable forecast is set for the final 'Thunder' round this Saturday, August 25th at LoneStar Speedway....over $6,000 cash is posted for STS/RaceSaver Sprint teams alone, and the feature pays $200 to start (24th).

Current forecasts show daytime highs of 91 degrees with a slight chance of isolated t-storms, and race time (8pm) temperatures in the low to mid 80's...which is much better than the 110 degree heat index of the previous LSS event.

8/25 RACE DAY UPDATE!

TEMPS in the LOW 80's FORECAST for TONIGHT at 8pm! Much, much better than last races' 110 degree heat index!

'Thunder on the High Banks' round TONIGHT, Saturday, August 25th at LoneStar Speedway....over $6,000 cash is posted for STS/RaceSaver Sprint teams alone, and the feature pays $200 to start (24th).

The high powered Winged Modifieds of the ArkLaTex Wing Modified Association will be on hand, plus the points battle is heating up for the Modifieds ($1,000/win) and Limited Modifieds ($500/win) and always wild and wooly Factory Stocks ($300/win).

NOAA still shows a 30% chance of isolated t-storms primarily during the day and highs in the upper 80's. But as of 8:30AM the radar is not showing anything that will affect the area. We will monitor it throughout the day.

Any updates will be posted at www.LoneStarSpeedway.com - hope to see you tonight as the temperatures are starting to cool down, while the points battle heats up! Adult tickets just $12 and the first 100 kids through the gates receive school supplies in our Back to School Blowout!
