 National Sprint League/Renegade Sprint Series Team up in 2015!

Windom, MN (January 15, 2015) – The National Sprint League and the Renegade Sprint Series are joining forces for a pair of weekends in 2015.  The National Sprint League is headquartered in the Upper Midwest with approximately 30 races in seven states on its schedule.  Based in Ohio, the Renegade Sprint Series has over 35 dates on its schedule for 2015.

On Friday, October 2 and Saturday, October 3, the NSL and the Renegades will face off at the I-80 Speedway near Greenwood, Nebraska.  The “Fearless 410 Finale” will serve as a season championship for the NSL and pay $10,000 to Saturday night’s winner.  The banked 4/10-mile oval will be the perfect showdown for both series!

Events are currently being scheduled in Ohio in late October in which the series will meet again. “This is very exciting,” says NSL founder Tod Quiring.  “It will be great to have the Renegade Sprint Series drivers here in the Midwest to take on the NSL.  We have several drivers who travel to the World Finals in Charlotte in November and this may give us more heading that way this year…so dates in Ohio at the end of October are perfect for them on their way to that event.  This is a win-win for both series, the tracks and for the fans.”

Possible venues for the NSL/Renegade showdown in Ohio include Millstream Speedway in Findlay, and Atomic Speedway near Chillicothe.  The specific dates for those events will be announced soon. “Currently we have Atomic and Millstream scheduled for October 3 and 4, and we’re looking to move those dates back in the month to accommodate the NSL drivers,” says Shane Helms of the Renegade Series.  “This will be a great event for those tracks, the fans of Ohio and the Midwest, and the drivers as well.  We’re looking forward to taking on the NSL!”

The Renegade Sprint Series and the National Sprint League will also be a part of the Friday, May 15“Sprints Gone Wild” event at Jacksonville Speedway in Jacksonville, Illinois.  $5,000 will go to the winner of the main event that night.

Among drivers indicating they will be running with the Renegade Sprint Series are former Knoxville Nationals and All Stars champion, Tim Shaffer, multi-time All Star champs Chad Kemenah and Greg Wilson, Randy Hannagan, new National Sprint Car Hall of Fame inductee Danny Smith, Dean Jacobs, second generation driver Cole Duncan, third generation driver Caleb Helms, Travis Philo, Andrew Palker and Ryan Myers.

The current membership of the NSL is at twenty-seven, and includes Hall of Famer, Danny Lasoski, multi-time Knoxville and Huset’s champion, Terry McCarl, World Finals winner, Brian Brown, seven-time IRA champ, Bill Balog, defending Knoxville champ, Ian Madsen, Dusty Zomer, multi-time WSS champ, Brooke Tatnell, multi-time Huset’s champ, Mark Dobmeier, defending Fall Brawl winner, Wayne Johnson and Lynton Jeffrey.

Not to sound all negative, BUT this is the same weekend as the Williams Grove National Open.  Looks like the Renegade guys will be in Nebraska that weekend.  Bummer!

Glad they are working together....Hate to be negative but late October in Ohio is taking a chance not only weather wise but also with high school and college football...Don't expect huge crowds....Maybe moving forward they can get together earlier in the year...The fact they are willing to work together says a lot about their vision for the future of sprint car racing in the midwest...

Well I thought the National Open was all about Outlaws vs. Posse and the Posse fans declaring victory no matter what happens

The National Open is now co-sanction by the All-Stars so that old, decrepit B-level talent from the Renegades probably wouldn't support it anyway. 

All I can say is AWESOME!!! I-80 Speedway is 20 miles from my house. Can`t wait for this one!!!!

WILLIAMS GROVE ANNOUNCES 2015 SLATE,

NATIONAL OPEN EXPANDED TO THREE DAYS WITH TRACK CHAMP CROWNED

12/7/14

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

“We wanted to release some of the dates we’ve been working on in the Buckeye State,” Renegade Sprints President Shane Helms said. “All of the dates are tentative because we haven’t completed our schedule or seen many other schedules so we are willing to work with every track as best as we can.”

“The most important thing is that a group of drivers in this area have decided to band together to form a new series,” Helms said. “Our desire is to do this for the fans and for the racers. We want to be able to control our own destiny, take care of the fans and grow the sport.”

Williams Grove announces early its intent to take The National Open to the next level. Mr. Helms had an oppurtunity to be a man of his word and not interfer with this intent. It would be a little different if Mr. Helms didnt go into Pa. & book some shows and now get the Posse tracks & fans confused on his real intent!!

"You will never know it was your "Day" until it's over"

This is a non issue. You guys crack me up. Out of the cars commited to run the full Renegade Series I only see one driver that even ran the National Open last year.

How many cars where at the at the Winter Heat in Cocopah in 2014?

answer

Exactly, you or I don't know how many would show with this first time format if they had no ther place to race.!! 

Nice cartoon above your sign on

"You will never know it was your "Day" until it's over"

As much as I'd like it to be, the National Open is not on the level of the Knoxville Nationals.  It will never pull large car counts from outside of PA regardless of what else is going on in the country.  The tow is too far and the payback is too weak to make it worthwhile to drive that far.  With that said, the National Open will have between 55-65 cars there this year and it will be a great weekend of racing.  I'm sure the same can be said about the racing at I-80 the same weekend.  And the world will keep spinning.
