JACKSON, Minn. (May 29, 2017) – There is no better place for a diehard sprint car fan to be this weekend than Jackson Motorplex, which hosts the 39th annual AGCO Jackson Nationals.
The marquee event features three full shows of only sprint cars this Thursday through Saturday at the half-mile dirt oval, where the finale will award $25,000 to the winner of the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series with the 410 Outlaw Sprints Fueled by Casey’s General Store main event.
The Upper Midwest Sprint Car Series, the Midwest Sprint Touring Series and the Nebraska 360 Sprints will represent 360ci winged sprint cars each night and the Heartland Steel RaceSaver 305 Sprints will compete all three nights.
World of Outlaws veteran Daryn Pittman, who won the series championship in 2013, scored the victory during the World of Outlaws only visit last season while Kerry Madsen is the defending AGCO Jackson Nationals champion in the 410 class. Madsen and Brian Brown have picked up victories at the track this season.
The events on Thursday and Friday will be complete shows following the World of Outlaws format. The top four drivers in combined points will lock into the dash on Saturday. To view the points system and event format, visit http://www.jacksonmotorplex.com/team-info .
