IT'S RACE WEEK! 3rd LoneStar SPRINT SMACKDOWN & Bumped-Up LONESTAR SPEEDWAY SEASON POINTS OPENER - THIS SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11th at 6PM!
Kilgore, TX (02/06/17) by DarinShort.com. The 70' wide expanses of LoneStar Speedway hosted several phenomenal racing events in 2016. Nightly there was side-by-side racing, drivers coming from the back to win, wild finishes - and the new season fires up THIS SATURDAY night, February 11th at 6pm; when fans will be treated to a huge night of racing: the 3rd Annual SPRINT SMACKDOWN and bumped-up LONESTAR SPEEDWAY SEASON POINTS OPENER.
Here are complete details:
REMINDER: The open practice night (for any dirt track racing division) is THIS Friday Feb 10 from 7-10pm (night before the race). This will allow race teams to shake down their new cars under race night conditions. All pit passes all ages will be $15 on Feb 10th. Grandstand viewing is free. As of Monday afternoon, NOAA is currently showing sunny and 70° for a daytime high.
Racing action fires off Saturday February 11th at 6PM. (The sun goes down at 6:02pm, which will coincide perfectly.)
The Pit Gate will open by 3pm, while the main grandstand area will open by 4:30pm. The driver's draw cut-off for heat races is 5:15pm, with a driver's meeting set for 5:45pm. Hot laps will fire off at 6pm with racing to follow immediately.
NOAA is currently showing a daytime high 76° and temps in the upper 60's by the final checkers on race day - which will be amazing. Hopefully that trend turns to reality on race day.
Adult grandstand general admission (ages 12-64) to this massive event is just $15! Ages 6-11 are $5, while ages 65+ and military will be $12. All pit passes for all ages are $35.
A JUMBO-SIZED competitor purse is slated in all racing divisions, and the breakdown is as follows:
SPRINT CARS (note that we chose to add more purse in the middle of the field instead of putting it all on top, so it benefits more race teams): $1,200/win - $800 - $600 - $550 - $500 (5th) - $450 - $400 - $350 - $320 - $300 (10th) - $280 - $260 - $240 - $220 - $200 (to 24th...not 20th!).
