BRANDON PIZZA RANCH DOUBLE DOWN WEEKEND

Teams to Earn 2^nd Chance Championship Points, and Payouts, Aug. 6-7

BRANDON, SD, Thursday, July 7, 2016 – The weekend of August 6-7 at Badlands Motor Speedway could very well be a season-changing weekend for many teams competing in 2016 at BMS. That weekend has been dubbed a DOUBLE DOWN weekend thanks to the Brandon Pizza Ranch, and teams will be competing for DOUBLE points in the recently announced 2^nd Chance Championship Point Fund.

Along with accumulating the valuable points that determines the 2^nd Chance Championship, the top two finishers in each class will also be paid DOUBLE prize money the weekend of August 6-7, equaling an additional $15,850 to the weekend’s payouts.

The 2^nd Chance Championship Point Fund was introduced last week, and teams are competing – starting this weekend – for a crack at a secondary $100,000 Point Fund. Points will be accumulated starting this weekend through the end of the season for the 2^nd Chance Point Fund, and points earned the weekend of August 6-7 will be doubled for this Point Fund. 

Drivers and teams won’t be the only ones benefiting from the Double Down weekend as the Brandon Pizza Ranch will be treating the fans as well. Fans who come on Saturday and pay the normal $20 ticket price will get in for free on Sunday. Fans are asked to hang on to their Saturday ticket for free admittance on Sunday.

Also, any Brandon Pizza Ranch item purchased on Saturday is free to the fan on Sunday. Pizza Ranch will be passing out tickets upon purchase on Saturday that can be redeemed for free on Sunday.

There are all kinds of Doubles at stake the weekend of August 6-7 thanks to the Brandon Pizza Ranch! Double Championship Points, Double Payouts for the Top 2 Finishers in Each Class, Free Admission and Free Pizza Ranch items on Sunday, August 7. It’s time to DOUBLE DOWN!

And they tell me these two tracks arent competing for the same cars....

Can never go wrong with more money to the Drivers. Good move!

Triple points the following weekend 

...with a 3rd chance point fund

Quadruple points and money if your locked into the A-main!!

3....2....1....and all the Knoxville fans get sand in their vaginas.......

Just so all you self appointed geniuses know, the week of the Nationals is when the Chuckster has a three day Monster Truck show scheduled. Now, what I want to know is, if you clowns owned a race track 330 miles (if not more) from Knoxville, what would you do a week before the Nationals? Not run anything at all? How would that help your business? Does every track in the country that runs 410s get the same questioning? Oh, and for the record, the week of the Nationals, I will be in Knoxville. Haven't missed it since 1994. But the weekend before, I will be at BMS for my weekly sprint car fix. It's only a 50 mile drive so why wouldn't I be there?

We'll still have a great car count, no worries. T-Mac & Henderson are pre-entries to 360 Nationals and T-Mac won last year, so I'm sure they're not happy about not getting to race for more $$$ and already be in Knoxville where he's going to be the next night anyway..but then again, he's only going to have to beat about 4 cars at Husets, so maybe he stays where there will be less competition.

The only thing bigger than Chucks check book is his EGO....

The heck with southern IA sprint week, you had me at Pizza Ranch

Could the rain date be scheduled for 8/8 or would that piss Terry off too much for Chuck to do something like that 

You folks do know that Badlands is 410's Saturday while Knoxville has the 360 finals, and Sunday will be 360's at Badlands while Knoxville has the Cappy Classic. My god people grow the F___ up allready!

I second that. However, I've tried to put that aside and see what Chuck is doing at Badlands for what it is. I see it as inceredible, anprecedented, and highly beneficial to fans and racers in the region. Bravo, Chuck. Having said that, this Double Down points night creates an intersting dilema for the top five in points at Badlands, with the exeption of Dobmeier who typically doesn't run any 360 shows. Maybe not much of a dilema as I don't see how any of the teams in the top five in points at Badlands can skip that night to race the 360 Nationals. Especially given Dobmeier is likley to stay at Badlands. The fact that it's just doubled for for the 2nd chance points fund is irrelevant. Those that are in the hunt for both point funds can't just forego their points for the 2nd chance point fund without foregoing their points regular season points for the week as well. Let's say McCarl elects to go to knoxville for the 360 Nationals( the fact that he's pre-entered means nothing now), the rest of the top five at Badlands would be crazy not to stay there and race that night. And what does Zomer do? He's sitting eighth in Badlands points. My guess is 360 Nationals because they desire the title, but what about the 2nd chance points? Who Knows, but it lookslike 3-4 less cars at the 360 Nationals, at least. Doesn't seem like reason for alarm but these are 3-4 very high quality cars, each with a very good chances of winning, and a large fan base. I have to give Chuck two thumbs down on this one. Get over yourself already. I know it's 410's vs 360's and 320 miles apart, but this isn't just scheduling against Knoxville, it's scheduling against the biggest 360 race of the year and making an extra effort to do so. I'd like to hear from the teams that are actually affected by this news. I wonder what they think. I wonder if some of them will go to 360 nationals for their qualifying night and then make a deision based on their results.

You do know a number of 410 guy's also run the 360 Nationals? 

It's not just your average race at Knoxville, it's the 360 Nationals. And I don't have an issue at all with just running a regular show at Badlands, just with the added points and purse, and going public with it only a month before the event. I guess you could call it promoting, but it just seems to me like a low blow, a bit of undermining if you will. 

Only more money for the top 2 A main finishers in each class. Regular payout for everyone else. 

Chuck's really taking care of the little guys, isn't he.

Funny! Knoxville didn't run double purse, double points the week of the Kings Royal! Oh wait they aren't running any points that night! Why?  Because they have Class.

will this be a free admission for all nite?

McCarl is already pre-registered for the 360 Nationals. Guess he'll have to get a refund.
