Peoria, AZ — (January 14, 2013) — Series Director Kevin Montgomery has announced an addition to the 2013 USAC Southwest Sprint Car Schedule. On August 21st, the traditional sprints will compete at Mid America Speedway in South Coffeyville, Oklahoma. The non-point $2,500-to-win main event will open the four-race “Freedom Tour” joining dates at Wichita and Dodge City, Kansas.
Promoted by Kenny Gariss, the 3/10-mile facility is located two miles south of the Oklahoma and Kansas state line on Highway 169. Regularly showcasing Modifieds, Stock Cars, Dwarf Cars, and Micro Sprints, the “Freedom Tour” race will be one of the track’s premier events of 2013. A new website for Mid America Speedway is under construction at www.midamericaspeedway.com.
A general meeting for the USAC Southwest Sprint Car Series is scheduled for Tuesday, January 15th at the Racers Advantage Store. Located at 3534 E. Broadway in Phoenix, the meeting will begin at 6:30pm and is open to anyone. USAC membership packets will be available and questions will be answered.
Starting on January 25th, Montgomery’s Canyon Speedway Park in Peoria will host the “2nd Annual Winter Challenge.” More than $100,000 in total purses will be up for grabs for the non-point “Arizona Speed Week” with IMCA Modifieds. The co-sanctioned main events with the USAC West Coast Sprint Cars will pay at least $2,000-to-win, while the winner of the February 2nd finale will take home $5,000.
The USAC Southwest Sprint Car Series would like to thank Sunoco Race Fuels, Hoosier Tire, and the Hose Advantage Store for their support. For more information on the series, visit www.southwestsprintcars.com, www.usacracing.com, or follow the series on Facebook (www.facebook.com/
