103 Sprints Pre-Entered for $120,000 LoneStar Sprint Nationals Oct. 11-13

Kilgore TX (10/9/12) by DarinShort.com. A total of 103 Sprint Car drivers from 14 states plus Canada have submitted early entries into the 2nd Annual $120,000 LoneStar Sprint Nationals (LSN) at LoneStar Speedway in Kilgore, Texas on October 11th-13th.

The LSN is Sponsored in part by Smiley's Racing Products, The Oil Medics, KJC Auto Title Loans, Eagle Motorsports, Palm Harbor Homes, Kear's Speed Shop , Outlaw Wings and ABC Auto Parts and we are very proud of their involvement in the event. Please visit their LSN display spaces and thank them for the support.

The LSN is a three-day, Sprint Car-only show featuring two divisions: Winged Sprint Cars and Winged RaceSaver® Sprint Cars. LoneStar Speedway features a brightly lit, fast, high-banked 3/8 mile clay oval. It also features a very unique event format, which we found to really enhance the competition level last year, so it remains unchanged for 2012. Make sure to check out the rules/format page on the event website for complete details. All cars can race all three nights.

The LSN event website is located at: www.darinshort.com/SCN.html and contains up to the minute event news and information. On race weekend, you can also get live LSN line-ups and finishes by clicking the homepage link at www.darinshort.com (formatted for your SmartPhone or desktop computer).

As of Tuesday morning, LSN weekend weather is looking FANtastic, with daily highs in the low to mid-80’s.

Qualifying night (Thursday/Friday) 30-lap A-features pay $2,000 to win and $200 to start (24th) for the Sprint Car division; and $750 to win Thursday and $500 to win Friday for the RaceSaver Sprint Cars ($100 to start each night). No time trials in either division.

Saturday night’s Sprint Car division 40-lap 25-car feature pays $13,000 to win and $1,200 to start; and $2,200 to win and $400 to start the RaceSaver Sprint Car 30-lap 25-car championship race.

And as impressive as the purse for this event is, race fans can purchase a 3-day adult grandstand pass for 1980’s pricing of only $40 upon their arrival at the track on race night. Or, individual night tickets are $15 each for Thursday and Friday, and just $20 on Saturday’s blockbuster event.
