The State Bank of Fairmont has put an extra $200 to win the 360 Sprints this week, so it will be $1,200 to win this Saturday Night and they are also putting up a $100 hard charger award to the 360 Sprint that passes the most cars.

Big Thanks to the State Bank of Fairmont!

Thanks to the Sate Bank of Fairmont for coming forward this weekend, hopefully this will draw in a couple extra cars, speaking of  extra cars Jon hopefully you will implement a better rule regarding the yellow flag situations at Jackson Speedway. Most tracks have a yellow flag rule stating the cars get 2 laps once the car reaches the work area! These drivers stuck out on the track during a Yellow have NO control over how long it takes the safety crew or push trucks to get to them when stopped out on the track and to bring them in to the work area, your rule stating the race will begin when the field is ready is unjustified . If A driver has spun and has a flat tire it may take 2 laps for them to get pulled or pushed to the pit area and get the tire changed. You are running a shorter field of cars this year and the races get over a bit sooner so maybe you should work with these drivers who are supporting YOU at the Jackson Speedway rather than driving them off, after all these drivers are your bread and butter! I am guessing that a smaller car count each week would result in a smaller crowd in the long run. I am replying to your post so I know you check in here, thanks for consideration and I am waiting for your reply. fastasu

Ya the racing committee changed that several weeks ago.  It is now 1 lap form the time your car gets to the work area, which basically gives you two laps.  Last week this worked out good for several teams.

Thanks for the reply Jon, as a fan I was unaware of the rule change regarding this. Glad to see this and hopefully it well help out the drivers involved.
