While a few dates are still in the works, the lineup has the national arm of the American Sprint Car Series making long awaited returns to several facilities, including the 2015 season opener at Florida’s East Bay Raceway on February 19, 20, and 21. The three day, $10,000 to win event last saw the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour was 2008 when Jason Johnson topped the final night of competition.
Added to the Florida lineup, Bubba Raceway Park will add to the list of ASCS sanctioned tracks as the fourth in Florida, and 130th since 1993. The Ocala oval will see action on February 27 and 28, 2015.

The night will be the final of a three day swing that begins at the Salina Speedway in Salina, Kan. with the Eagle Nationals presented by TBJ Promotions taking the Saturday date. TBJ Promotions will again bring several dates to the ASCS lineup with the Rock ‘n Roll 50 at Riverside International Raceway on May 2. Tony’s team will again attempt a series return to Lakeside Speedway on May 7 after the 2014 visit was called on account of rain.
Adding another crown jewel to the ASCS lineup, the Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash. will highlight the series visit to the northwest on June 25, 26, and 27. Culminating with a $15,000 to win feature event, preliminary nights will pay $2,000 to win. Skagit is on the list to be track No. 132.
The following weekend will see Independence Day celebrated in style with the Fred Brownfield Classic at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Wash.
The series will also make its first visit to the state of Wyoming with the Gillette Thunder Speedway on Wednesday, July 22. The mid-week showdown makes Wyoming the 29th state to host as ASCS National Tour event.
