“SPRINT CAR SMACKDOWN II” SEES INCREASED CASH AND PRIZE PACKAGE
After a great first year in 2012 that saw an impressive list of cash and prizes for competitors, the list of awards for this week’s “Sprint Car Smackdown II” at Kokomo Speedway for the AMSOIL National Sprint Car Series has grown even more.
Thursday and Friday preliminary nights have awards posted for all events, along with special awards for the “Hard Charger,” the first car not transferring to the feature, and the slowest qualifier to advance to the night’s 30-lapper.
Saturday’s blockbuster “AMSOIL Championship Night” will culminate with a 40-lap Feature and will feature similar awards, along with posted prizes for the last car to transfer from the semi-feature, the final car running at the end of the race, and the popular “King of the Hill” competition to set the first four rows of the feature, which is again sponsored by Diversified Machine (DMI).
Other prizes are awarded at random or, in the case of the B&W Auto Mart “Smackdown Hard Charger,” as an accumulation of all cars passed over the entire three-day event. Long-time sprint car supporters Roger & Barb Tapy will award a right-rear tire nightly to a finisher between 10th and 20th, while Hoosier Tire themselves will offer up tires to random drivers who do not make a feature.
DRC Chassis will present a “Hard Luck Award” for the weekend, and Hinchman Racewear along with Arizona Sports Shirts will offer prizes for random draw. A 2014 USAC Sprint Car Owner’s Membership is also set to be given away.
Along with the bulky list of rewards for racers in the form of prizes, there is also lap money posted for the top-five on each lap for all 100 feature laps on the weekend. A few laps are still available for any interested parties. The cost is $100 per lap. E-mail
