Atlanta, GA – November 3, 2009 – The sprint car portion of the huge event features a very unique format that includes twin 25-lap main events. The first of these twin main events will start straight-up after Friday night’s Pole Qualifying rounds with the top qualifier starting in the K&N Filters Pole Position. At the conclusion of the first 25-lap main event, the finishing order will be completely inverted for the second 25-lap main event.
The winner of the first Parts Plus USCS winged sprint car main event will start twenty-second in the second main event and the last place car that finished the entire first main event will start from the K&N Filters Pole Position in main event number two. Each of the winged sprint car main events will pay $2500 to the winner. A bonus of $5000 will be paid to the winner of the first main event if they can also win the second 25-lap contest after starting from twenty-second position. Each of the main-events will pay $250 to start that main event totaling $500 to start both. Including the Parts Plus Power Dash and K&N Filters Pole Scramble one driver could collect $10,200 in winnings for the weekend’s efforts.
The “Flip Flop 50” Pole Qualifying Night on Friday, November 13th features competition for the all important K&N Filters Pole Position in the first of twin 25-lap main-events. Drivers will first draw for their qualifying race starting positions. The drivers will then compete in a series of qualifying races with a maximum of eight cars in each. Each driver will then be awarded the passing points they earned in their qualifying race. Their passing points total will determine their line-up position for either the K&N Filters Pole Scramble on Friday night or for their starting position in the Last Chance/B-Main(s) on Saturday night (November 14th).
The top eight drivers in passing points after the qualifying races will be “locked-into” the “Flip Flop” 50’s first 25-lap feature race on Saturday night. The top eight drivers in passing points will advance to the K&N Filters Pole Scramble race on Friday night. The K&N Filters Pole Scramble will determine the final line-up for those cars in rows one through four in the first of the twin 25-lap main events.
On Saturday night the Last Chance/B-Main(s) will determine the final 14 starting positions for the Parts Plus USCS “Flip Flop 50” main event number one. The second Parts Plus USCS main event starting order will be aligned completely inverted from the finish of the first main event. All cars that finish the first main event will line up inverted from their finish in main event number one. Any cars that do not finish the first main event, but are able to re-start the second main event will be inverted behind the cars that completed the race.
If any cars are unable to start the second race they will be replaced by the first alternate from the first main event and then the second alternate, so on and etc. The driver that won the first Flip Flop 50 main event will start last in the 22 car field. If the winning driver from the first main event can also win the second 25-lap main event they will be awarded a BONUS of $5000.
Additionally joining the Parts Plus winged sprint cars on the action-packed racing card are the Rislone USCS Modifieds racing for a possible $3000 to win over two nights plus the Non Wing 305 Sprint Cars racing for $1000 to win and $100 to start their 25-lap final.
