Press Release Submitted by StanM on 03/24/2009 at 6:15 PM Send To Friend | Report Press Release

 When the Upper Midwest sprint Car Series (UMSS) opens its season April 24 at Kopellah Speedway, they will not only "cut the ribbon" on a brand new era of sprint car racing in the Twin Cities, they will also unveil a unique nightly race format. Aimed at giving the race fan and track operator a more value-based program, the 2009 UMSS format will be as follows:

1) Ultimate Sprint Races (Heats) - Draw for position. Number of Ultimate Sprint races based on car count. As few as 5 cars for 5 laps and as many as 8 cars for 8 laps. Drivers are awarded points toward main event.

2) Challenge Races - All drivers will compete in Challenge races. The whole field will be divided into two Challenge races with the field inverted from Ultimate Sprint race finish. Drivers are awarded points toward main event.

3) Main Event - 20 cars for 20 laps. High point driver from finishes in Ultimate Sprint races and Challenge races will draw a pill for inversion. Inversion will be from 0-8.

"There is strong support from the owners and drivers to bring this unique race format to area race fans in 2009," stated Don Randall, UMSS board member. "The race fans will get to see more sprint car races each night at a value-based price."

To keep the show moving, there will be a one lap per minute time limit on each race, and each car will have its own push vehicle for the beginning of races and after red flags.

The entire race format may be viewed online at www.umsprints.com For more information, contact Ron Bernhagen @ 612-363-5302
