KILGORE TX (10/1/12) by DarinShort.com. The 2nd Annual $120,000 LoneStar Sprint Nationals (LSN) at LoneStar Speedway in Kilgore Texas is next weekend (Oct. 11-13), and race teams have through Monday, October 8th to get registered, thereby saving them $150 compared to waiting to enter the event upon arrival.
In addition to saving money, pre-registering allows the track to keep race fans informed as to who is going to be competing at the event. It also helps the race teams, as driver car numbers and pit parking requests are being fulfilled on a first-entered basis.
Please click http://www.darinshort.com/SCN.html to get your team entered with our simple 2-step registration process. There you can also view the event website, flyer, view the unique LSN rules, format, view 2011 LSN event video clips and pictures, current entry list and much, much more.
The LoneStar Sprint Nationals features three days of sprint car-only racing action at the high-banked 3/8 mile LoneStar Speedway in Kilgore Texas. Last year drew a total of 131 Sprint Car and RaceSaver® Sprint Car division entries.
Sprint Car and RaceSaver sprint division teams can continue to enter the event at no additional fee through Monday of race week (Oct. 8). However, car numbers and pit parking requests will be fulfilled on a first-entered basis.
The LSN is a three-day, Sprint Car-only show featuring two divisions: Winged Sprint Cars and Winged RaceSaver Sprint Cars, and is held at LoneStar Speedway in Kilgore, TX. LoneStar Speedway is a brightly lit, fast, high-banked 3/8 mile clay oval. 117 teams participated in 2011, with over 100 racing each night.
Qualifying night (Thursday/Friday) 30-lap A-features pay $2,000 to win and $200 to start for the Sprint Car division; and $500 to win and $100 to start for the RaceSaver Sprint Cars. No time trials.
Great American Classics of Lindale Texas has added $250 to win the RaceSaver Sprint division on the opening night of qualifying, which is October 11th. Visit them online at http://www.gacmusclecars.com
Saturday night’s Sprint Car division 40-lap 25-car feature pays $13,000 to win and $1,200 to start; and $2,200 to win and $400 to start the RaceSaver Sprint Car 30-lap 25-car championship race. The LSN is home of the largest RaceSaver Sprint purse in the U.S.
And as impressive as the purse for this event is, race fans can purchase a 3-day adult grandstand pass for 1980’s pricing of only $40 upon their arrival at the track on race night. Or, individual night tickets are $15 each for Thursday and Friday, and just $20 on Saturday’s blockbuster event.
The Sprint Car division cars must be ASCS legal, and Sprint Cars will be teched by ASCS. Drivers competing for Lucas Oil ASCS national series points will receive show up points for this event as was the case in 2011. The early entry fee for this class remains at $100 for this race and pit passes are the same as 2011, which are $30 each on Thursday and Friday; and $35 on Saturday. A 3-day pit pass will be available for $90. There is roughly an $11,000 increase in the Sprint Division purse slated for 2012.
RaceSaver Sprint Cars will be teched by RaceSaver.com rules with one exception. Drivers may choose whether they wish to run the STS or SST stamped right rear tire – as was the case in 2011.
