Park City, Kansas – March 29, 2018 - Several pit notes from Thursday night’s open practice in preparation for this weekends eighth annual “Park City Cup/Air Capital Shootout” at 81 Speedway Park City, Kansas to open the 29th consecutive season for the National Championship Racing Association 360-ci sprint car series.
Twenty-three drivers took part in the three-hour practice session with three drivers who haven’t been announced as competing. They were Brandon Mullen of Grand Forks, North Dakota, Dylan Peterson from Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Nicholas Howard from Lawrence, Kansas.

While he was in the pits wrenching for California’s Mason Daniel, it is rumored that two-time PCC/ACS champion Danny Lasoski has courted the #13 Jimco Motorsports sprinter after the team released their regular driver, Mark Dobmeier, earlier Wednesday afternoon.
