LONGDALE, Okla. (May 3, 2023) An update to the 2023 lineup of events for the American Sprint Car Series, Friday, April 12, will take place at Electric City Speedway in Butler, Mo.
Moving a two-night show from Illinois to Oklahoma, Friday, May 19, and Saturday, May 20, has been shifted to Longdale Speedway due to a scheduling conflict that has come up with the promoters at Tri-City Speedway.
Paired with Moberly Motorsports Park on Saturday, May 13, the Friday night showdown at Electric City Speedway will make the weekend a pair of $4,000 to win, $400 to start events. Both nights are co-sanctioned with the ASCS Warrior Region presented by Impact Signs, Awnings, and Wraps.
Friday’s inaugural trip to the one-third-mile oval just south of Kansas City, Mo., opens at 5:00 P.M. with racing at 8:00 P.M. (CDT). Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors and military, and free for kids 12 and under. Pit Passes are $40. Electric City Speedway is located at 5634 NE County Rd. 3 in Butler, Mo.
