Outlaw Wings is sponsoring the Friday night RaceSaver® Sprint division and will award the winner with an Outlaw nose wing. Click http://www.outlawwings.com for more information.
Bishop Racing Components has been a family owned company since opening nearly 25 years ago. Every employee of BRC either owns, drives, or works on a race car. They strive to give you the best products available at the best prices with the best customer service possible...which is why they are constantly out searching and testing new products, so you get the best product for your money!

Fans will be treated to great racing announcers throughout LSN weekend:
Bill Wright, AKA “Bill W,” of Monroe Iowa will be providing the call for the Sprint division. Bill W will also conduct the competitors draw-in for both the Sprint and RaceSaver® divisions. He has been on the media side of the sport for 14 years as a journalist, website editor, broadcaster and announcer. His weekly 'Knoxville News' recap can be found on racing sites worldwide. Bill W is one of the voices of HoseheadsRadio.com, which has broadcast all the shows from the Knoxville Raceway as well as the Short Track Nationals in Little Rock the last several years.
“I’ve always wanted see a race at LoneStar Speedway,” says Bill. “The LoneStar Sprint Nationals is the perfect chance to come down, and I appreciate the opportunity they’ve given me to be a part of it all. We’ll see an incredible field of sprint drivers battle it out over three days on a high-banked 3/8 mile – it doesn’t get much better than that!” LoneStar Speedway is very excited to have Bill W on hand, which will further enhance the race fan's overall experience while at the LSN.
Calling the RaceSaver® sprint car division portion of the weekend's events will be the voice of LoneStar Speedway, Kenny Tynan, who is well known to the Ark-La-Tex area race fans. He has been involved in the racing community as either a promoter, radio racing show host or announcer the past 35 years. This is Kenny’s final year of working in the sport.
Kenny comments “The LoneStar Speedway fan base is a very loyal and supportive group. Every one of them that I’ve talked to is super charged for this race – as am I. They’re also looking forward to meeting the throngs of out of area fans and race teams.” Kenny adds: “Looking down from the announcers stand to witness a sea of sprint cars as far as the eye can see is going to be a stunning site to behold. I’m counting down the days until the engines fire off!”
For those race fans not able to witness the action in person, Scott Traylor and Kirk Elliott with http://www.racinboys.com will be providing a free live audio webcast of all three nights racing action.
