LoneStar Spring Sprint Invasion – April 7th
Kilgore TX (3/16/12) by DarinShort.com. The only 2012 scheduled visit of
The Oil Medics ASCS Lone Star Series takes on the 3/8 mile high banks
of LoneStar Speedway with the running of the LoneStar Spring Sprint

$1,000 to win; plus Limited Modifieds and Factory Stocks will round out
the racing card.

series champion), Eric Baldaccini, Claud Estes III, Justin Melton, John
Ricketts, Robert Byrom, Martin Edwards, Evan Pardo, Chad Wilson; plus a

divisions are listed on the track website under ‘resources.’ (Modifieds,

3/19/12 EVENT UPDATE:
Some people have been emailing me with questions requesting more details for this event, so here you go:
-It will pay $3,000 to win the 25 lap feature (instead of $2,000), and
normally would start 20 cars; but we will be starting 24, paying
$250/start.
-There is no added pit cost or entry fee for the drivers...pits are $30.
-Adult tickets are just $15.
-Complete event flyer located at:
http://www.lonestarspeedway.com/downloads/1003/fi1003_2736.jpg
Make your plans now for a great night of racing at LoneStar Speedway on Saturday, April 7th!
It also appears to be the only ASCS type rules sprint car race in the 4
state area, so it should be an excellent field of drivers.
Click www.LoneStarSpeedway.com for details...thanks!

This is great news. Our group has enjoyed the Comfort Suite the last two years in November for the special 3 night event. We will be there again this year in November. Do we have a guesstimate of number of sprint cars for this weekend. Notice there are 3 other classes. Potential for a long night??

If I had to guess, I think there should be 26-34 sprints; as there is literally no sprint races for 100's of miles, and we are starting 24 cars not the usual 20 in a regional event.
And I don't think it will be a late night with the other three classes. They all did a great job last weekend and the show buzzed right along.
