TULSA, Okla. (February 3, 2017) The 26th year of the American Sprint Car Series gets underway with the Lucas Oil ASCS Southern Outlaw Sprints at Tampa’s East Bay Raceway Park and the 41st East Bay Winter Nationals and Ronald Laney Memorial.
A three day affair with the winner walking away with $10,000 is the start of a 154 race lineup for the drivers of the American Sprint Car Series in 2017, which consists of seven regional tours along with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series National Tour presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network.
For drivers chasing ASCS Championships, nearly $400,000 in point fund is up for grabs with the biggest prize of $60,000 going to the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour Champion. Entering the 2017 season, Texas native Sam Hafertepe, Jr. stands as the defending champion.
In all, the American Sprint Car Series is slated to compete in 23 states with 70 facilities on the docket. At this time, nine more dates are in the works across the whole of the American Sprint Car Series.
With six regions in 2016, the re-emergence of the ASCS Mid-South region in 2017 brings a regular rotation of events back to the state of Arkansas. This move also helped to bring the COMP Cams Short Track Nationals at I-30 Speedway back under ASCS sanction.
Just one of several crown jewel events on the ASCS lineup, the $15,000 to win affair is preceded by the $15,000 to win Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup in June at Skagit Speedway as well as the Arnold Motor Supply 360 Knoxville Nationals in August at the famed Knoxville Raceway. The High Roller Classic at the Missouri State Fair Speedway in Sedalia and the Hockett/McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway in September all help to make up the vast list of must see events in 2017.
Fans can following along with National Tour events with live coverage from http://www.racinboys.com as well as updates through the ASCS social media outlets on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
