We are trying very hard to make this work for ALL involved.

Everyone involved with asphalt sprint car racing needs to do all they can to support this event. If not, this will be the end of sprint car racing at Citrus for a very long time.

To All Sprint Car Drivers And Owners
In the recent days the only pavement race during speed weeks being held at citrus county speedway was cancelled. it was very depressing news. ive made a few calls in the last 24 hours and i have 13 confirmed drivers as of right now 1 week away. i really dont understand the problem with the purse.. $4500 is being put up by citrus an additional $1000 has been added making the purse $5500 as it stands right now.. it will pay $1000 to win with the rest of the payout to be posted this week. I know that there is alot of owners and drivers that refuse not to run for that purse, but if they do that will be the purse that they race for forever. people, have you looked in the stands lately when youve been at a short track.. DUH! There not packed, hell you wonder how some can even afford to pay the light bill. bring the Cars, Bring the Fans, The purse will increase with time! Be part of the solution, Not the Problem. This is probably one of the last asphault races that you will see for awhile. This is a non sanctioned race! No memberships No Dues No USAC hard cards Just straight up lets get it on Racing!
THE RACE HAS NOT BEEN CANCELLED THE RACE IS FEBRUARY 5TH CITRUS COUNTY SPEEDWAY!
