MSCS ADDS 2 DATES AT CLAY COUNTY ILLINOIS
Haubstadt, IN - August 7, 2008. The Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car Series is pleased to announce the addition of two more racing dates to the 2008 season schedule. MSCS Officials reached an agreement with Richard Burmeister, the promoter of Clay County Speedway, to run two events at the 1/3 mile Flora, IL, facility during the second half of this season.
The Clay County Speedway dates assure the continued presence of MSCS in the Prairie State. MSCS is pleased to have these opportunities to bring it's style of non wing sprint car racing to Illinois race fans and provide some in-state racing for all the Illinois based sprint car teams.
The first date is soon. Very Soon! The sprints will be the main attraction on Saturday night August 16th at Clay County Speedway and return for a second equally exciting engagement Saturday night September 6th. Both appearances will be highlighted by 30 lap features paying $2,000 to win.
The MSCS schedule now stands at 16 events once again. Of the original first 11 shows, the 8 completed have been very competitive. Robert Ballou and Jon Stanbrough have 3 feature wins each with Daron Clayton and Brady Short capturing one each. Rain prevented the other three programs from happening!
Defending Series Champion Kyle Cummins has now moved into the points lead after last weekend's two races. He has been methodically closing in on that first win of the season. In feature events Kyle
has two thirds and two seconds in his last 4 outings with MSCS. The Princeton, IN, driver has been consistently taking his car to the front and in position to challenge for a feature win.
Clay County Speedway is located 1.9 miles North of U.S. 50 on U.S. 45 and sits on County Road 20(700N). It is visible from highway 45 and easy to find! Information for the track can be obtained by
phoning 618-662-6825.
August promises to be one hot racing month for MSCS. Two races are in the books after a first busy weekend and four more now remain on the August schedule. Clay County Speedway's race on the 16th will be followed by the Union County Speedway make-up date on the 22nd, Twin Cities Raceway's event on the 23rd, and Tri-State Speedway Labor Day Weekend Special on the 31st.
