Action Sprint Tour Set For Inaugural Race & Doubleheader Weekend May 18th & 21st

Story By: CLAYTON JOHNS / ACTION SPRINT TOUR – OHSWEKEN, ONT – The Action Sprint Tour is set to end an off-season of anticipation and hit the track for the first time with a busy doubleheader on the Victoria Day long weekend. The Series is also pleased to announce RaceRivalz.com as the presenting sponsor for the series in 2018 and will officially be known as the Action Sprint Tour powered by RaceRivalz.com.

RaceRivalz.com is a game of both skill and chance where the objective of the game is to predict the outcome of measured events before they happen. By combining numerous sets of options to Rivalz players, the possibility of getting everything right becomes increasingly slimmer.

The player able to predict the most outcomes correctly can win exciting prizes and experiences that money can’t buy. Rivalz was created to build relationships and to create a more educated fan base through interactivity. The creation of the Rivalz concept will bring the fan experience to a more connected level both with the events themselves and with fellow fans and players.

“We are extremely happy to have a new and innovative company like RaceRivalz.com join the Action Sprint Tour for our inaugural season,” said Series Director Clinton Geoffrey. “We believe they will help bring an unmatched level of interactivity to short track racing and we are excited to have them join the Series for our inaugural season.”

The upstart Series will run its inaugural race on Friday, May 18 at Ohsweken Speedway before moving to Merrittville Speedway in Thorold, Ont. for the second race on the 10-event schedule on Monday, May 21.

“We are excited to get things going with a big doubleheader weekend,” said Geoffrey. “A lot of people have put in a lot of hard work in order to start this series in 2018. We’re looking forward to an exciting opening weekend.”

The tour will visit five different tracks during its inaugural season before crowning its first champion at Ohsweken on Friday, September 7.
