The Summer Thunder Sprint Series has been growing since the day it went on the drawing board. This season the tour has added the Yakima Dirt Track to the schedule bringing the total of events to 12. Here 2 Wire and Finishline Graphics stepped up to sponsor the series and help build the point fund. Now add in the support from Highline Performance and Speedmart and the point fund has grown to $10,000!
"SpeedMart is Proud to be a sponsor & supporter for the 2015 STSS. We are excited to add the Summer Thunder Series Events to our traveling Schedule. SpeedMart understands that you can never have everything that you may need for a full night of competition or maybe just forget something." said SpeedMart owner Barry Martinez, "We thrive to carry as much as possible to help both the race tracks & racers keep as many cars on the track to make a great show. See You @ the Races !!"
"We are very fortunate in the northwest to have an organization like Funtime Promotions that continues to add tracks and series to their portfolio. This grows racing for the teams and the fans" said Danny Kirkpatrick from Highline Performance, "Highline Performance has had significant growth in the first year and we are excited to partner with the Summer Thunder Series and support the racers and the tour".
"When we started the Summer Thunder Sprint Series it was intended to give the racers some higher paying events to compete at and to give the fans an opportunity to see the best sprint car talent together in the Northwest", said Funtime Promotions owner Steve Beitler, "Getting companies like Here 2 Wire, Finishline Graphics, Highline Performance and SpeedMart on board helps us build this series and to put more money back in the racers pockets".
The Summer Thunder Sprint Series season opener is Saturday April 4th at the Central Washington State Fairgrounds Dirt Track in Yakima. Gates open at 3:00pm and racing starts at 5:00pm and should be done by 8:00pm.
Lots of prizes and fun is planned for the families and the kids... Happy Easter!
