CAMARGO, IL. (4-4-11) – The mission of the O’Reilly Auto
Parts Midwest All Star Sprints has not changed since its inception – to
grow 410 sprint car racing by providing bigger purses while making series’
events affordable to tracks and entertaining for the fans.
In 2011, the Midwest All Stars are embarking on a new direction with the
same mission. The series will move its emphasis to the Ohio, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia region with an 11-race schedule that will reward the champion
and the top 10 in points.
“The Midwest All Stars will offer teams a chance to travel a little and
experience different tracks…teams that cannot afford to travel with a
full-time series,” said Guy Webb, President of All Star Championship
Racing, which includes the Midwest All Stars.
Each of the 11 Midwest All Star events will feature at least a
$3,000-to-win race with some paying $5,000.
The Midwest All Stars kick off their season on Saturday, April 30 at KC
Raceway near Chillicothe, Ohio. Other events include a pair of $5,000 to
win events at Western Pennsylvania’s Mercer Raceway Park (May 14 and Aug.
27); and a pair of races at Millstream Speedway in Findlay, Ohio (Aug. 28
and Oct. 2).
