Must See Racing and the Must See Racing Xtreme Sprint Series are organizations founded and managed by Jim Hanks, with headquarters in Holly, MI. Founded in 2007, Must See Racing has been involved in the production and broadcasts of sprint car events, both winged and non-winged over the past three years, including the 2009 and 2010 Pay Less Little 500’s.

The starting grid is comprised of thirty-three cars in 11 rows of three, charging to the green flag. Two mandatory pits stops are required during the challenging 500-lap event. Billed as the most entertaining event in auto racing, fans will be filled with anticipation in the most exciting start to a racing event.
