Nebraska Sprint Car Season finale at I-80 Speedway

The 360 Sprint Cars will be making their last appearance in the Cornhusker State this year with the running of the ASCS/NCRA Sprint Car Challenge at I-80 Speedway on Friday and Saturday, September 16 & 17. The event will feature drivers from the American Sprint Car Series (ASCS) and the National Championship Racing Association (NCRA) running complete programs both nights. Each night’s feature will pay $3,000 to win and $400 to start.

The two day show will finish out the 2011 season for the ASCS Midwest Region. Last weekend the series ran two events in the Cornhusker State with Sioux Falls’ Greg Bakker and Louisiana’s Jason Johnson picking up wins. Entering this weekend’s action Springfield, Nebraska’s Jack Dover has all but locked up his second ASCS Midwest Championship. Jordan Boston, Bryan Gossel, defending series champion Lee Grosz and Brian Brown round out the top five in ASCS Midwest points.

The NCRA side of the Challenge is not as clear cut as C. J. Johnson and Gary Lee Maier are locked in a battle for the 2011 NCRA Sprint Car Championship. Jason Martin, Patrick Stasa and Mike Peters round out the top five. The NCRA has one Sprint Car left remaining after this weekend, that being on October 1 at Wichita, Kansas. Many of the best 360 sprint car drivers in the nation are expected to be at I-80 Speedway this weekend.

Racing starts each night at 7 pm. Grandstand Admission for Adults is $15 on Friday night and $20 on Saturday night. Juniors (6-15) are $5 each night with 5 and under free. Pit Passes are $30 each night.
