Next Up at Monarch Motor Speedway: $2,500 Possible to Win Sprint Car Bandits FALLS TOWN SPRINT SHOWDOWN SAT. OCT. 10th!
Wichita Falls, TX (9/23/20) by DarinShort.com. Fans and race teams that have visited the new Monarch Motor Speedway (west side of Wichita Falls) know that it features incredible dirt track racing with state-of-the-art facilities. And for the second time this season, a blockbuster event is taking place at the ¼ mile ultra-fast speed plant featuring many of the best dirt track racers in the region with the running of the Sprint Car Bandits® (SCB) “FALLS TOWN SPRINT SHOWDOWN” 360C.I. Shootout, paying $2,000 to win and $300/start on Saturday, October 10th at 7pm.
Joining the 360C.I. winged sprint cars will be the popular USRA Tuners, the NOW600 TOWR Micro Series and the Mod 600’s. Note that the Sprint Cars will be racing 1st or 2nd division out for the feature events.
:30 Second Rewind from the May 9th SCB Monarch event: 12th place starter John Carney II coming from 12th to take the lead the middle half of the race, while Channin Tankersley snuck by on a quickly transitioning surface on lap 21 to grab his 2nd career Sprint Car Bandits series feature event and $2,100 - topping a field of 39 other competitors. Kyle McCutcheon would become the West Texas Raceway sponsored Hard Charger recipient, coming from 15th to 2nd and collecting $1,300. Colorado's Jake Bubak Racing would finish 3rd with John Carney in 4th and Michael Day finishing 5th after starting 9th.
I think it’s also worth a :30 Second Rewind of the 2019 SCB Monarch event as well: An unforgettable night of wild in-your-face action would take place after overnight storms made for a total slurp-fest on the racing surface with elbows-up high speed drama taking place in every division all night long. The SCB feature event saw Will Eggimann (2019 SCB series champion) wrestle the lead away from John Carney II and Tim Crawley. Eggimann would lead til the 2-to-go flags were waved when a lapped car got crossed up and started flipping in front of the lead pack, resulting in Eggimann’s top wing being torn off the car. During the red, with just two laps to go, Eggimann and team decided it was not a safe idea to restart the event sans top wing leading the field…so he went pit-side and John Carney II would take home the $2,000 winners prize, with Harli White driving the wheels off her #17w sprinter coming from 21st to 2nd after a first-lap skirmish.
BACK TO 10/10/20: Tommy Bryant of Cabinets By Tommy LLC in Granbury Texas has stepped up to provide the 360C.I.

The SCB series has a unique rules package that allows teams to use their current equipment (especially in the engine compartment) yet curbing nightly tire expense...which helps equalize the competition with teams of varying budget sizes. The SCB “20° wing angle rule” also helps by freeing up the cars to be able to pass easier in many cases that also helps reduce excess tire and engine wear. Our ‘one rear tire all night long’ rule has not only saved racers thousands of dollars over the past four years, but to date, we’ve yet to have one tire fail (blow) due to excess tire wear in any feature race we’ve held.
All these small, yet effective changes, have been accomplished without the racers having to purchase something out of the ordinary. And we essentially haven’t changed the rules since the inception of the series at the end of 2015.
And let’s face it, since the events of 9/11/2001 – and now as of late, a lot of the economics of the sport of dirt track racing have changed drastically (especially the cost of travel, track insurance, general crowd sizes, cost of racing components), yet there really hasn’t been much being done on a nationwide level to help counteract those economic impacts. We aren’t trying to say we’ve ‘fixed’ all those impacts, but at least we are doing something to help curb racer expenses – and it’s working.
Our rules package certainly has made for exciting and unpredictable racing outcomes – as there have been 23 different feature winners in the past 37 series events!

We look forward to seeing you Saturday, October 10th when the Sprint Car Bandits 360C.I. “FALLS TOWN SPRINT SHOWDOWN” invades Monarch Motor Speedway in Wichita Falls with high-powered winged Sprint Cars battling on the racy 1/4 mile speed plant, paired three more exciting racing divisions!
