ASCS 360 Sprints return to I-80 Speedway
The ASCS Midwest Region Sprint Cars Series will be returning to I-80 Speedway on Thursday, May 26. The series started off the 2011 season with two races at I-80 during the I-80 Cup on April 8 & 9.
Brian Brown of Grain Valley, Missouri came away with the win on April 9 and the ASCS Midwest Region points lead. Seth Bergman of Snohomish, Washington won on April 8 and is currently second in region points to Brown. Wayne Johnson of Oklahoma City, Don Droud, Jr. of Lincoln and Jack Dover of Springfield round out the top five in ASCS Midwest region points.
Eric Lutz of Sioux Falls, South Dakota is the defending ASCS Midwest Region Champion. Brown, Lutz and most of the ASCS Midwest drivers are expected to return to I-80. The 25 lap feature pays $2,000 to win. Pits open at 4pm, Grandstands at 5:30 with racing action beginning at 7. Admission is $15 for Adults, $5 Ages (6-15), 5 and under is free. Pit Passes are $20 with a NASCAR license and $30 without a NASCAR license. The ASCS Midwest Sprint cars then move to the Junction Motor Speedway on Friday, May 27 for a $3,000 to win feature.
Also featured at I-80 on Thursday will be three classes from the NASCAR Weekly Racing Series, the NASCAR Late Models, NASCAR B Mods, and NASCAR Pro Ams.

Did the track ever get insurance for the drivers? During the pit meeting in April Ed said his insurance was about to expire and they were not going to renew it. Any update on this??

I was told the insurance issue has been resolved and the race is good to go. They will have to produce proof of insurance to us, (ASCS), before the race and I'm sure that won't be a problem.
Also, the $3000 to win at McCool Junction is ONLY IF THE WINNING DRIVER RACED AT I-80 THE PREVIOUS NIGHT, otherwise it will pay $1500 to win...CZ

Making the 1200 mile trek west to Omaha for the weekend. Will be at this show. Be nice to finally see sprint cars again, as it's been a while and having little to no time to head up to PA to see the posse play in its home turf. Hoping for a decent car count. See everyone next thursday at I80!

The ASCS home office in Tulsa, OK is working on it now. I know it has become a concern to our race teams after the announcement was made at our April double-header and I will keep everybody posted...CZ

I-80 Speedway does have insurance and proof of insurance HAS been provided to the ASCS National Office. All ASCS members are also covered by ASCS insurance. I believe what Ed was trying to get across at the pit meeting in April is that drivers should look into the STIDA policy which can be purchased for I believe $425 per year. For more information go o www.stida.com.
