The Eagle Sprint Car Committee has received and reviewed numerous ideas and suggestions in regards to what could be done to make the sprint car show more exciting for our fans, while attracting better car
counts. We appreciate everyone's input.
The following rule change will be in effect for the 2011 season.
1: Wings: Eagle Raceway will adhere to all ASCS wing rules, including the top and front wings.
Additional changes:
Lineups: Eagle Raceway will implement a pill draw for the heat starting lineups. Each pill draw will cost $10 which will become part of the season end point fund. The top 8 drivers with the most points accumulated in the
heat races will redraw for the starting position in the A Main Feature. Starting positions 9-24 will be determined by points accumulated in heat races. Draws will settle all ties.
Point Fund: The Eagle Sprint Committee is excited to announce we have secured additional sponsorship for the 2011 sprint car point fund. Our sponsors include: Budweiser (Primary Sponsor), Carpetland(associate
Sponsor), personal contributions from Ken Klabunde and Dennis Parker, in addition to the funds attributed to the pill draw. We anticipate the 2011 point fund will be nearly 300% of the 2010 point fund and will pay back to the top 15 in points.
Additionally, the Rookie of the year will receive a contingency prize as well as a monetary prize. More info is forthcoming in regards to the point fund.
Purse: The 2011 sprint car purse has been increased contingent on a sustained car count of 25 cars. If the car count
requirement is not met, the purse will revert to the 2010 purse amount.
I am lucky enough to work at one of the best tracks
anywhere.

As of this afternoon, the points fund has grown to over $15,000 (including a minmum projected contribution from the nightly pill draws with an estimated $3500 and the "Carpetland Cup" going to the season champion.) The weekly purse has increased in positions 2-20 with a guaranteed $190 to start the A main nightly........SC
