WOODLAND AUTO DISPLAY SPONSORS USAC WEST COAST SPRINT CAR DASH

From Lance Jennings

Santa Maria, CA — (February 26, 2013) — Officials with the USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series have announced a change to their regular format in 2013. Sponsored by the Woodland Auto Display in Paso Robles, the winner of the new six-lap, eight-car dash will earn an extra $100.

The Dash will showcase the top-8 drivers in qualifications (or top-8 in passing points) that transfer from the heat races. The eligible drivers will start with a full 8-car invert, earn championship points, and the finish will set the first four rows of the main event. In case the dash is not used, those drivers will redraw for starting position.

Located at the Municipal Airport in Paso Robles, California, the Woodland Auto Display opened on July 19, 2009. The facility houses a rotating series of racing history, including Sprint Cars, NASCAR Stock Cars, Modifieds, Super Modifieds, and Midgets. In addition, many exotic, classic, and muscle cars are available for viewing. As part of the Estrella Warbirds Museum, the Woodland Auto Display is at 4251 Dry Creek Road, Paso Robles, California, 93443. For more information, visit www.ewarbirds.org/automotive/woodland.shtml.

Perhaps best known in Sprint Cars for sponsoring the Billy and Anne Wilkerson team with CRA, SCRA, USAC, and USAC/CRA, Dick Woodland and family have supported racing for many years. Piloting the famed Wilkerson #11,”The Flying Shoe” Ron Shuman won the inaugural SCRA Championship in 1994. Danny Lewis, Rip Williams, Tim Green, Mike Sweeney, Jeremy Sherman, Damion Gardner, Mike Kirby, and Brad Noffsinger have also raced for the Wilkerson team.

On Thursday, March 7th, the USAC West Coast and USAC Southwest Sprint Cars will battle at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Dirt Track. Sponsored by Hoosier Tire and ParkerStores, the action packed “Sin City Showdown” will also feature the famed World of Outlaw Sprint Cars, Modifieds, and Street Stocks. The spectator gates will open at 5:00pm with racing scheduled for 6:00pm. Adult tickets are $39 and children (12 & under) are FREE. The pit gate will open at 2:00pm and USAC memberships will be honored. Pit passes are $35 for members and $50 for non-members.
