Tulsa OK — (March 18, 2013) -– As the Oil Capital Racing Series nears the start of its 12th season of sprint car competition at the Brill Motor Speedway in Meeker Oklahoma on March 30th, OCRS officials, in conjunction with supporting sponsors, have produced a separate point fund for the previously announced “non-wing” events that dot the 27 race schedule.
~~ One Thousand Dollars To The Topless Champion ~~
The points awarded for the non-wing events will be the same points as earned on any race night on the 2013 schedule. OCRS will tally the points and the highest five drivers in the non-wing rankings will earn a share of the non-wing point fund. The highest point collector will pocket $1,000!
The current schedule has three posted non-wing dates. If additional non-wing dates are booked and conducted in 2013, they will also account for the point fund awards. Drivers MUST display any decals provided by the participating sponsors on their cars to earn the cash awards being offered. Since there is a possibility of additional sponsors joining in this program after this announcement, the amount paid to positions 2-5 will be determined after the final “pot” has been tabulated, which currently stands at $2500! The dates and tracks currently holding OCRS non-wing events are:
March 30, 2013 – Brill Motor Speedway / Meeker, Oklahoma (OCRS season opener)
June 7, 2013 – Mid-America Speedway / South Coffeyville, Oklahoma
July 6, 2013 – Caney Valley Speedway / Caney, Kansas
“I’m honored that OCRS has been so well supported by such quality sponsors,” said series president Barry Grabel. “OCRS works hard at giving our race the teams the best incentives possible in return for their financial investment and hard work efforts. The special non-wing point fund is just another means to reward them for supporting OCRS.”
OCRS offers their sincerest gratitude to the group of sponsors that makeup the non-wing fund for the upcoming season. The sponsors included in this special program are:
Eagle Motorsports / Lincoln NE
Grand Prix Auto Center / Tulsa OK
Allen Competition Engines / Mustang OK
Maxwell Oil / Tulsa OK
Morton Excavating / Coweta OK
Racing Optics / Las Vegas NV
R&M Race Trailers / Cushing OK

Whether you are a team owner, driver crewmember or race fan, show these sponsors (and all of the additional OCRS sponsors) that you appreciate their support of sprint car racing by doing business with these great companies. Their support makes our sport prosper!
