WINDOM, Minn. (Sept. 26, 2016) – The sophomore season for the National Sprint League will wrap up this weekend.
The 410ci winged sprint car series is heading to St. Francois County Raceway in Farmington, Mo., for the 21st annual Queen’s Royale, which pays $3,000 to win and $600 to start on Friday and $5,000 to win and $700 to start on Saturday.
Defending series champion Danny Lasoski leads the NSL championship standings by 459 points entering this weekend.
Craig Dollansky, who spent a lot of this season on top of the standings, isn’t out of the battle just yet. The maximum number of points a driver can earn in a single event is 440. While Lasoski has a clear advantage, anything can happen during this weekend’s races at the unique 3/8-mile track.
Brian Brown is also looking to improve a position in the championship standings. Brown has recorded six podium finishes in the last 10 NSL points-paying races to close within 61 points of Dollansky.
Ian Madsen, who is 271 points behind Brown, is the only other driver outside of Lasoski, Dollansky and Brown to qualify for every National Sprint League A Main this season.
The National Sprint League has held one event at St. Francois County Raceway with Lasoski capturing the main event in May 2015. Madsen placed fifth and Brown eighth out of the 41 drivers who tackled the race.
Tickets are $20 for adults on Friday and $25 for adults on Saturday. Pit passes are $40 each night.
