This event announcement is coming out early so Factory Stock drivers have plenty of time to get registered; LoneStar is racing August 25th and September 8th prior to this race, as previously scheduled.

LoneStar 9/29: $2,000/win Factory Night Special, Nationals Warm-Up & Season Championships
Kilgore TX (8/17/12) by DarinShort.com. Here’s a good old fashioned recipe that all race fans will enjoy:

-Step 1: Mix a huge batch of dirt slinging Factory Stocks from area tracks together, and divide them into qualifying races.

-Step 2: Take the top 30 and let them shoot it out for 30 laps – and the Top Stocker will take home $2,000 in cash!

-Step 3: Let fans witness the shootout for just $12.

-Step 4: And what do you get? A recipe for “Factory Night Special” at LoneStar Speedway that fans and teams will not soon forget!

And for a “side dish” the track will be serving up a “Nationals Warm-Up” for RaceSaver® sanctioned Sprint Cars. Using the identical rules published for the upcoming LoneStar Sprint Nationals (Oct. 11-13), this will give RaceSaver Sprint Car teams one last shot to get their car dialed in for the upcoming big LSN show that pays $2,200 to win and $400 down to 24th.

This will also give fans a “taste” of the action that will be witnessed over Nationals weekend. There is no preregistration for this division and complete purse and rules are published at the track website. Fans can expect several out of town teams to be on hand.

As if that isn’t enough on the “plate”, it’s also Season Championships night; with Modifieds racing for $1,000 to win and Limited Modifieds $500 to win. This is also the final point’s night for the Factory Stocks.

Over $22,000 in purse money is on the line at LoneStar Speedway on September 29th!

The “dessert” for the Factory Stock’s is the giant winner’s cup awarded to the winner. Make sure to check out the event flyer for a picture of last year’s that was won by DeWayne Pace.

Factory Stock drivers must preregister at: http://www.darinshort.com/FSN.html on or before September 26th (the Wednesday night of race week).

You can also view the event flyer at this link, as well as the latest in event news. Factory Stock car numbers will be assigned in the order they are received from registration; so if you have a number you want to run, you should register as soon as possible for the best chance of getting it. Preregistering by 9/26 will also save Factory Stock teams $50 over race night pricing.

$6,250 total A-feature purse.

No registration, association or membership fees, all pit passes $30. Any non-qualifiers will receive $100.

Draw for heat race positions, feature race lineup will be determined by the same points system used in the July 28th race (as follows):

150 (points for winning your heat, drops by 3 points/finishing position)
147
144
141
138
135
132
129
126
123...

Plus you will receive 1.5 points per car passed from your starting position.

Any ties will go to whoever raced in an earlier heat. (in other words if two drivers earn 150 points and one received them in heat race one and the other in heat race three; then the driver in heat race one will win the tie).

If two drivers tie in points from the same heat, the tie will go to the driver who started in the closer to the back.

(This is the same points format used for heat races at the LoneStar Sprint Nationals.)

Feature race will be straight up based on compiled heat race points.

In the event of a B-feature being required, the top 16 in points from heats to A feature (assuming 25 cars or more in field there will be a B feature).

B feature(s) straight up by compiled heat race points. 8 cars from the B(s) will advance to the A.

24 cars start A feature, 25 green flag laps.

RaceSaver Sprints are scheduled to run earlier in the event order, tentatively 2nd class out.

There are no changes in the scheduled races Saturday night at LoneStar Speedway.

We are keeping an eye on the weather, and as of 1:30pm Friday, NOAA is still showing a 40% chance for Saturday afternoon/evening; so, like everyone else, we will have to wait to see if anything develops or not between now and then. The track and pits can always handle a fair amount of precip prior to the event as it is. And if it comes down heavy, it just runs right off those high banks.

But one thing is certain, ANY change to any of the advertised events will be posted at the event website, www.darinshort.com/FSN.html and track website www.LoneStarSpeedway.com IMMEDIATELY, when known.

Right now, we're all headed full steam ahead to provide fans and teams with a stellar night of racing, this Saturday at LoneStar Speedway. Reminder, gates open by 4pm; so get there early to get signed in and situated. Draw closes at 6:30pm.
