2013 RPM Speedway Schedule, Purse & Special Events Unveiled
Crandall
TX (12/3/12) by DarinShort.com. This past weekend at the Texas
Motorsport Expo in Dallas, attendees had a chance to learn more about
2013 schedule, new increased purses & special events at RPM Speedway
in Crandall, Texas.
All of those items are now posted at www.RPMSpeedwayTX.com and are available for viewing and printing.
The Expo also gave race teams and fans a chance to visit with Jason Troutman and Ronny Sigman.
Troutman
comments: “We were bombarded with race teams, fans and well wishers at
the Expo. It really gives us the added encouragement and determination
to do our best in providing everyone a place that they can be proud to
call their home track in 2013.”
He adds: “We have also completed
our ‘Phase 1’ track reconfiguration and subsequent track testing. It has
really opened up the racing surface. We have identified a few
additional enhancements we will be making this week, and conducting
further testing at that point.”
Fans can expect ‘special’ events
each and every race night. Additional touring divisions and featured
events will be added to the schedule prior to the race season.
Highlights
of the 2013 racing schedule include the $17,000 Grand Re-Opening
Blowout & Pre-Race Party, set for Saturday, February 23rd. The
pre-race party will take place from 5pm-6:30pm and racing to follow at
7pm. All fans and race teams are invited to the pre-race party. This is
also the USRA Modified national points opener, paying $1,500 to win.
RaceSaver® sanctioned Sprint Cars will be competing for $1,000 to win;
with Limited Modifieds paying $750 to win, plus $400 to win Street
Stocks and $300 to win for the Factory Stocks. There are no entry fees.
The
point’s season resumes with a traditional Friday night schedule on
March 29th and continues weekly through August 16th. Then the track will
take a “Fall Break” and come back with a blockbuster event on Friday
September 27th which is the RPM Speedway Championship Night.
The
RPM Speedway Championship night features a revolutionary new event that
rewards drivers in all RPM Speedway divisions that support the track
throughout the season by offering them a purse in excess of $25,000 …and
race fans quite likely some of the wildest racing of the season.
On
RPM Speedway Championship night, the top fifteen 2013 point’s getters,
in each division, will automatically be locked into their jumbo-sized
purse feature event, straight up, that night.
Each of those
drivers will also be admitted into the pits at no charge! To be
eligible, drivers must compete at 70% or more of the completed RPM
Speedway events in their respective race division and be in the top 15
in RPM points going into the 9/27 event.
All other (legal)
drivers can race in the RPM Speedway Championship night, at the fully
advertised purse, by simply purchasing their pit pass. There is no entry
fee in any race division. Those drivers will fill the balance of the
feature field.
So don’t miss out on this huge event set for
September 27th, as the USRA Modifieds will be racing for $2,000 to win;
RaceSaver Sprints, Limited Modifieds and Street Stocks all pay $1,000 to
win and Factory Stocks are $800 to win. This is also a sanctioned USRA
Modified national point’s race. Details are at the track website.
The
2013 RPM Speedway season will wrap up with the RPM Nationals on October
11th-12th. Details of this event will be announced at a later date and
will include USRA Modified national points.
Rules changes are generally minor for 2013. They are all posted at www.RPMSpeedwayTX.com for viewing and they are also formatted for printing.
