RPM Speedway $17,000 Grand Re-Opening Blowout – February 23rd
Crandall,
TX (2/17/13) by DarinShort.com. This coming Saturday, February 23rd is
the $17,000 Grand Re-Opening Blowout at the new RPM Speedway in
Crandall, Texas.
During the off-season, Track Promoter Jason
Troutman and team have reconfigured the racing surface, increased and
adjusted the track lighting and addressed several other punch list
items.
Fans and race teams can get their first taste of the
fast-paced action this coming Saturday, when the season point’s
lid-lifter hits the track at 7pm.
The USRA Modifieds pay $1,500
to win, while the RaceSaver Sprint Cars pay $1,000 to win. The Limited
Modifieds race for $750 to win, Street Stocks will shoot it out for $400
to win and the Factory Stocks are gunning for $300 to win.
There are no entry fees in any of the race divisions and a whopping $17,000 in cash will be distributed. Click http://www.rpmspeedwaytx.com/special.html to view complete payback and details. Rules for each division are posted at the track website.
This
is also opening weekend for USRA Modifieds nationwide, and with other
tracks not yet open, race fans can expect some ‘invaders’ taking on the
stout field of RPM modified drivers.
Race fans will also get to see the massive listing of sponsors that are supporting RPM Speedway’s rebirth in 2013.
Sponsors
have rallied behind Jason and his team, and at the time of writing, the
sponsor listing has grown to 20 businesses. The support of those
sponsors has allowed the track to help offset the remodeling costs, as
well as paying one of the strongest weekly racing purses offered in the
region – while still keeping pricing family-affordable for race fans.
The
pit area opens at 3pm and the grandstands open at 5pm. Teams are urged
to arrive early, especially if they have yet to register their car for
the 2013 season. Online driver registration is ongoing at the track
website in the meantime. If you’ve yet to register your car, it is
helpful to do it now, as it will save everyone time on opening night.
Track
packing will commence at 6pm with hot laps to follow. Draw cut-off for
all race teams is 6:30pm. The first green flag is expected to wave at
7pm. A complete program of heat races and features will be contested.
Adult ticket prices are just $12, kids are $5, and all pit passes are $30.
The
long-range forecast is currently showing dry and partly cloudy
conditions with daytime highs in the 60’s, which will make for excellent
racing conditions.

With
this being the first point’s event for all five RPM racing divisions,
it is the first chance for drivers to start earning their guaranteed
starting positions for the $25,000 RPM Championship on September 27th.
Complete details and format are posted on the track website for this
exciting and revolutionary conclusion to the point’s season.
