MALTA AMRA Road Warriors to Host Opener at Skyline
MALTA Windows and Hoosier Tire Boost RWT Challenge/ $1,700 to Win!
Six Pack Power Skyline LM Special May 4/Wallace to Beckley May 11
By Scott Wolfe
MT. ALTO, WV- The American Motor Racing Association (AMRA) has announced its opening date for the highly touted Road Warrior Challenge series for this Friday, May 4 at Billy Jarrell's Skyline Speedway in Stewart, Ohio where the Malta Windows modifieds will run for the Silver RWT purse that traditionally pays $1,200 to win. Sponsors have boosted the winning amount to $1,700 to win for the modifieds.
Skyline will also run the first “Six-Pack” for AMRA Tru-Tech Late Models, Steel Block Late Models, and Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association 410 Outlaw sprints.
Some of the best names in open wheel racing will assemble for the initial AMRA trek to Southern Ohio. The Road Warrior tour saw Beverly, Ohio driver Doug Henry take the points race right down to the final night in a tight battle with Deana Groves.
This year the Road Warrior Tour will pay $2,500 to the 10-race series winner, $1,250 for second, and $1,000, $900, $750, $600, $500, and $500. The $8,000 touring money comes in addition to a National $26,000 point fund that pays the top 25 drivers. Sponsor negotiations in progress potentially could expand that point fund within the next two weeks.
In an effort to 'raise-the-bar' and add a new twist to a tradition of tough competition, Skyline Speedway will also kick off the first week of the “Six Pack” series for the AMRA Tru-Tech Late Models a joint effort between Skyline and I-77 Raceway Park near Fairplane, WV.
The "Six-Pack" series will feature six races on six different nights, three at Skyline and three at I-77. Last year, the events were a huge success for the AMRA Late Models which saw Chris Garnes, Evans, WV take the $1,000 "Six-Pack" series crown.
Last year, the series was just for AMRA Late Models, however, this year Billy Jarrell of Skyline and Kenny Newhouse at I-77 have upped the ante to the Malta AMRA Modified Series.
Billy Jarrell has announced that the first "Six Pack" event will be May 4th for the AMRA Late Models at the fast Skyline Speedway. The following week, May 11 will be the first "Six-Pack" event for the Modifieds at Skyline.
This year's "Six-Pack" point fund will pay $1,000 to the winner, $600 for second, and $400 for third in the late models. Point money will be paid at the end of the year for the series. In the modified division, the winner will receive $600, $400, and $200. Additionally, each track will host a season-long point fund.
The AMRA is looking to hosting at least one $2,000-to-win Road Warrior event, plus again hosting the Annual Greg Schilling Memorial, a pilgrimage honoring one of the AMRA greats.
Many AMRA sanctioned tracks will be open this weekend. The starting dates for all AMRA tracks are as follows: Skyline Speedway www.skylinespeedway.net (Open), Ohio Valley Speedway http://www.ohiovalleyspeedway.com/ April 28, Jackson County Speedway , http://www.jacksoncospeedway.com/ (Open), The Legendary Hilltop Speedway May 18 http://www.legendaryhilltop.com/ , Midway Speedway http://www.midwayracing.com/ May 19, Thunder Mountain, http://www.racethundermountain.com/ April 28, Beckley Motorsports Park http://www.beckleymotorsports.com/ (Open), I-77 Raceway Park http://www.racei77.com/ April 28, and O'Brion Oval Speedway http://www.obrionovalspeedway.co.nr/ May 19.
