MALTA AMRA Road Warriors to Host Opener at Skyline
MALTA Windows and Hoosier Tire Boost RWT Challenge/ Now $2,000 to Win!
Poske's Performance Parts Boosts Malta Mods to 2G
Six Pack Power Skyline LM Special May 4/Wallace to Beckley May 11
MT. ALTO, WV- A new development in the AMRA has seen the boost of Friday's (May 4) Malta Modified feature at Skyline Speedway jump to $2,000 to win. Earlier today, the American Motor Racing Association (AMRA) 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. Originally, the Malta Windows modifieds were running for the Silver RWT purse that traditionally pays $1,200 to win. Sponsors boosted the winning amount an additional $500, then later this afternoon Dave Poske of Poske's Performance parts contributed $300 to the winning prize money making Friday's race a $2,000 to win show for the modifieds. The race pays $150 to start.
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 added winning bonus money has already lured some of the finest Modified drivers in the country to inquire about Friday's landmark event. In 2011 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. Kenny Johnson, who plans on attending Skyline Friday was the National champion and in 2010 was the Skyline Champion.
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 AMRA is looking host at least one more $2,000-to-win Road Warrior event, plus again hosting the Annual Greg Schilling Memorial, a pilgrimage honoring one of the AMRA greats.
