Tulsa, OK — (February 4, 2015) — With the kickoff to the 2015 season for the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real sitting just two weeks away, the pre-entry list for the 17th King of the 360’s and 14th annual Ronald Laney Memorial happening February 19, 20, and 21, has been released with 47 drivers making the early roster.
Drawing 53 drivers in 2014, Parker Price-Miller topped the Thursday night portion, while Wayne Johnson wired the field the following night. Johnson would go on to pick up his second career victory in the Ronald Laney Memorial in his ninth feature start. While Johnson has yet to enter, Miller will again pilot the PPM Titanium Products No. 9p.
Drawing from 17 states and Canada, the talent pool for the three day, $10,000 to win spectacular at East Bay Raceway Park includes a pair of past champions with Ohsweken, Ontario’s Glenn Styres (2012) and Terry McCarl (2006) of Altoona, Iowa each looking to bag their second Ronald Laney Memorial victory.
Of the pre-entered, none have made the final feature as many times as McCarl, who has taken the green in 13 of the 15 A-Features contested with an average finish of eighth. Terry also has five preliminary feature wins to his credit; tying him at the top with Gary Wright.
Since 1999, a total of 163 drivers have made the cut in the King of the 360’s championship event and of those, 20 are currently entered into the 2015 edition.
