NOVEMBER’S ALREADY RECORD OVAL NATIONALS PURSE GETS BIGGER!

By Scott Daloisio

(Perris, CA, October 15, 2015) On June 3^rd, Perris Auto Speedway promoter Don Kazarian announced that the 20^th Annual Budweiser Oval Nationals Presented by All Coast Construction would carry an event record purse of more than $120,000.00. That record did not stand for long as Tuesday Kazarian announced that more money has been added to the already whopping swag.

The jump in the purse is $10,000.00 dollars and it brings the total to a new record $130,510.00. The extra money will be added to the paychecks of the drivers finishing second and third.

“Mike Grosswendt from All Coast Construction called me on Monday morning and said that he wanted to add more money to the purse,” Kazarian said. “He is adding an extra $5,000.00 for second place and an extra $5,000.00 for third in the Saturday night main event. That means the driver who finishes second on Saturday will now take home $15,000.00 and the third place driver will pocket $10,000.00. Previously second place was to pay $10,000.00 and third place was going to get $5,000.00. With the additions and the winner getting $25,000.00, a total of $50,000.00 will be paid for the first three spots. Mike’s addition to the purse is great news not only for the drivers, but for the fans as well!”

“Mike has a very successful construction business and he had been working on a massive project that has taken up most of his time for the last year,” Kazarian said with a nod. “However, he just finished that project and he is now going full throttle to help make the Oval Nationals bigger and better than ever. In addition to upping the prize money for second and third, he has some other ideas for this year’s Oval Nationals that we are announcing in the upcoming week. He has more passion than anyone I know for sprint car racing and he is a massive asset to the sport and Perris Auto Speedway.”

Grosswendt decided to add the extra dough to the purse at the urging of a good friend.

“I got the idea from Jon Stanbrough,” Grosswendt said. “We are friends and go out to dinner when he is out here to race. I like to talk to him and listen to what he has to say. He has been after me to get the prize money up for second and third. I am taking his advice and we are going to do that this year.”

The 20^th edition of America’s most prestigious traditional sprint car race will take place on the famous Riverside County clay oval on November 12^th, 13^th and 14^th. All three nights of intense racing action will be full-points paying races for the USAC National and USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series.’ In addition, there will be a practice session that will be free for fans in the grandstands on Wednesday, November 11^th.

The new Oval Nationals purse is listed below along with a link for the entry blank and a link for fans to purchase advance tickets.
