Lonnie Wheatley, ODESSA, Mo. (June 22, 2022) – I-70 Motorsports Park fires back into action this weekend with two nights of 360-ci Sprint Car competition on Friday, June 24, and, Saturday, June 25.
It will mark the first visit for the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network atop the newly-revamped I-70 Motorsports Park high-banked, 4/10-mile clay oval as they clash with the Missouri-based ASCS Warrior Region presented by Impact Signs, Awnings, and Wraps.
Friday’s card offers up $ 1,500 to win with Saturday night’s championship finale awarding $5,000 to win.
Last year’s All-Star Circuit of Champions format will be in effect including group qualifying that sets heat race lineups with an invert of four. Heat winners along with the fastest qualifier to transfer will be eligible for the redraw with the balance of feature lineups determined by heat race finishes in order of qualifying time.
Any driver that doesn’t compete on Friday can start no better than 11th in Saturday’s finale.
Oklahoma City’s Wayne Johnson leads the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour troops into the weekend with a 57-point advantage over reigning series champion Blake Hahn as Columbia’s Garet Williamson and rookie contenders Jason Martin and Brandon Anderson round out the current top five.
Others among the current top ten in series points include past series champion Tim Crawley, Matt Covington, and the rookie trio of Landon Crawley, Landon Britt, and Kyler Johnson.
Marshall’s Miles Paulus holds the current edge in ASCS Warrior Region points.
The event will be show-up points only for both series as the format differs from that of the American Sprint Car Series.
Friday will be a Sprint Cars-only extravaganza while the Show Me Vintage Cars will join in on Saturday’s action.
Gates open at 5:00 p.m. each night with racing going green at 8:00 p.m.
General admission is $20 on Friday night and $25 on Saturday night with Party Deck, RV Trackside Camping, and Guest Suites also available. Detailed ticket information is available at https://bit.ly/3Oe6MPL.
