BILLINGS, Mont. (June 13, 2017) – BMP Speedway will host the inaugural Northwest Challenge Series event this Friday and Saturday during the Harvey Ostermiller Special.
The Northwest Challenge Series is an 11-race series featuring 360ci winged sprint cars comprised of the NSA Series, which is based in Montana and has roots in Western Canada, and the Washington-state based Summer Thunder Sprint Series.
Both nights pay $2,000 to win as the doubleheader is billed to showcase some of the top drivers in Montana, Western Canada and the Northwest as well as select competitors from across the country.
Canadian Casey Adams and Texas native Travis Rilat split the opening NSA Series doubleheader. They are the only two racers to earn a top five in each of the two NSA Series races this season.
Washington native Jason Solwold has won two of the four Summer Thunder Sprint Series events as fellow Washingtonian Austen Wheatley claimed the season opener and Oregon resident Roger Crockett was victorious during the most recent race.
In addition to sprint cars, WISSOTA super stocks, WISSOTA street stocks and WISSOTA midwest modifieds will also compete both nights during the Harvey Ostermiller Special. The event honors longtime Billings resident Harvey Ostermiller, who was instrumental in the community as well as in racing throughout the region prior to his passing last year.
The front gates are slated to open at 5:30 p.m. with racing at 7 p.m. each night.
Tickets for both nights are $16 ($12 pre-buy on Friday and $14 pre-buy on Saturday) for adults and $12 ($8 pre-buy on Friday and $10 pre-buy on Saturday) for seniors, military members and students ages 12 to 17 years old. Admission is free for children ages 11 and younger. Pit passes are $30 per person.
