Let’s Draw!
Race fans will have a say in the possible outcome of the 100-lap feature events as 2 draws are added during the event. The first one will be during the pre-race presentation as the cars are rolling on the speedway, a fan will draw a number either 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 or 60, this will be the lap that the feature will have competition yellow, at that point, a second fan will draw a number from 0, 5, 10, 15 or 20, this number will be in the inversion for the rest of the feature event. As a consolation prize, the race leader at the competition yellow will receive a Hoosier Tire plus 5 points towards the Series championship. This added format will bring a lot excitement to our fans will keep drivers on the edge of their seats. Time trials, heats and top 12 redraw will still be part of the qualifying format.
Get Your Stickers…You Could Win!
Race for the Cure stickers will be available for the fans and we encourage people to put them on their personal cars, we will have people walking around the speedway parking area and identify cars with them, these lucky people will win a pair of tickets for an upcoming event at the speedway courtesy of Morris of TAS Racing. A great way to promote the Series and have a chance to win a prize!
Aiming For Another $10,000 In Fundraising!
Fans and drivers have been very generous throughout the first 4 editions as more than $35,000 were donated to women that are in treatments against cancer. We have reached the $10,000 plateau in the last 2 years. Fundraising events and initiatives will go through the year in order to reach that objective.
