Thunder Returns To Fairmont Raceway; JSTS
Sprints Hit Track May 19
For the
first time in over a decade, there will be thunder rumbling at the Fairmont
Raceway in Fairmont, Minnesota, when the JSTS Sprint Cars make an
appearance at the RETURN OF THE THUNDER event on Saturday night, May 19th.
“It’s
been a long time coming and I can’t wait to see the big wings, big engines and
big name drivers back on the big half mile in Fairmont,” said promoter Adam
Adamson. “Fairmont
has such a rich history of Sprint Car racing but, unfortunately, over the last
12 years, they have not had a single Championship Sprint Car race and I’m glad
to help bring them back.”
The
race will feature the Jackson Sprint Touring Series winged Sprint Cars and
should draw drivers from around the Upper Midwest, including names like JSTS
champion Gregg Bakker and 2011 Jackson Speedway champion Skylar Prochaska. For
many, it will be their first time on the highbanks. “It has been so long since
Championship Sprints have run at Fairmont Raceway that many of the current
racers, especially the young guns, have never run there and that should make it
fun."
Adamson has been working closely
with new Fairmont Raceway weekly promoter Gary Jacobsen to ensure the event is
a success. "Gary has been a huge help in
getting all the details worked out and he is just as excited as I am that
Sprint Cars are coming back to Fairmont
this year," said Adamson. The JSTS Sprints will also be at Fairmont on July 20th.
RETURN
OF THE THUNDER will pay $2,000 to winner of the Sprint Car feature event and
will feature Sport Modifieds and Sport Compacts in addition to the headlining
Sprint Cars. The Fairmont Raceway is located on the Martin County Fairgrounds,
just south of I-90 exit 99. For more information on Fairmont Raceway, log on to

Future
announcements will be forthcoming as several special activities and events are
planned for the days leading up and the night of RETURN OF THE THUNDER. For
