What’s a perfect way to wrap up a stellar 2007 racing season? The answer is, with the November Sprint Shootout presented by Commercial Music and Short Track Shootout presented by DarinShort.com at Cowtown Speedway on November 9-10! Here’s the scoop:

- $5000/win for ASCS type sprint cars in the November Sprint Shootout
- $1000/win for ASCS type sprint cars in the Short Track Shootout
- $2000/win for Cowtown modifieds
- $1000/win for both mini-sprints and limited modifieds

And what can top that? You’ll get to see it all for a $25 2-day grandstand pass, if you purchase it at www.CowtownSpeedway.com by November 4! The 2-day pass will also allow you to purchase up to (2) pieces of apparel in the Cowtown apparel stand for $5 off advertised prices.

The inaugural November Sprint Shootout (NSS) will bring together many of the best ASCS-type sprint car drivers in the country at Cowtown’s super-fast, high-banked ¼ mile track, gunning for a $5000 payday in the 35-lap championship feature event. For complete NSS info, including advance tickets and pre-registration, please go to www.cowtownspeedway.com/sprintNOV.html . Drivers are currently entered from as far away as South Dakota, Minnesota and Indiana; plus a strong contingent of regional drivers.

The inaugural Short Track Shootout (STS) will field the top 4 drivers in overall points from I-30 Speedway’s Short Track Nationals and the NSS into a 6-lap dash for $1000/win, with $500-$300-$200 awaiting the 2nd-4th place finishers. For complete point standings and rules going into the STS, please visit www.darinshort.com/shootout.html . The winner of the STS will also receive a special marble and porcelain award from DarinShort.com commemorating their achievement.

There’s even more going on for race fans than racing at Cowtown on NSS weekend. Action T-Shirts of Dallas is preparing the event t-shirt (artwork can be viewed at CowtownSpeedway.com). J&J Promotions from Kansas City will be offering their extensive line of die cast sprint cars, apparel and more.

Not to be forgotten, the always exciting Cowtown modifieds will be slugging it out for $2000/win. Top drivers throughout the region will be on hand.

Wrapping up the weekend racing card will be full fields in both the winged mini-sprints and limited modifieds. Each class will be gunning for $1000 to win in their championship events.

If you can’t take advantage of the 2-day passes, you will be able to purchase tickets for each night separately, with Friday’s show at $15 for adults and Saturday’s at $20. Hope to see you all there!
