$25,000 PANHANDLE 30 at RED RIVER SPEEDWAY - SUNDAY MAY 24!
Wichita Falls, TX (4/30/15) by DarinShort.com. An exciting new event is coming to Red River Speedway (RRS), called the Panhandle 30 featuring a massive $25,000 purse. This is a one day event that will take place Sunday May 24th (of Memorial Day weekend).
Back in the day, Wichita Falls was home to companies such as the Panhandle Oil Company, and this event name helps pays tribute to the heritage of the area.
There will be three racing divisions racing in the Panhandle 30: Limited Modifieds, Sprint Cars and Modifieds. All features start 24 cars and non-qualifier money will be paid in all three divisions. There are no entry fees in any racing division.
With very little racing in the region taking place on May 24th, coupled with rules packages in each division that are common at many other tracks, fans can expect a great turnout of cars in each of the racing divisions.
Car numbers are being assigned on a first-entered basis. If you know you are coming, please go to www.rrspeedway.com/052415.html to get your car entered. There is no entry fee and registration takes about 30 seconds to complete. It also helps the track prepare for your arrival. Plus, it helps race fans know if their favorite drivers are going to be there - in advance.
Panhandle 30 payback by division:
Limited Modifieds (30 laps): $3,000 - 1,200 - 800 - 600 - 500 (5th) - 400 - 300 - 250 - 200 - 175...to 24th. All non-qualifiers receive $30.
