KILGORE TX (8/5/11) by DarinShort.com. The $100,000 LoneStar Sprint Nationals at LoneStar Speedway set for October 13-15 is quickly growing into three very full nights of sprint car-only racing due to the tremendous response of early entries received by the speedway.
Early registration to the event has only been open for one week, but there have already been over 90 total sprint car entries received; of which 50 are in the RaceSaver® Sprint division.
Due to the huge response, LoneStar Speedway officials are going to cap RaceSaver® Sprint division entries to the event at 60.
If, and when, the event website receives 10 more paid entries, RaceSaver® Sprint division entries to this year’s event will be final and closed.
LoneStar Sprint Nationals official Darin Short comments: “LoneStar Speedway fans really enjoy the RaceSaver® Sprint division. We wanted to provide area teams with a multi-day event they can be a part of. We knew the driver support would be solid – but the response has been amazing. In the interest of our fans and keeping this first annual event manageable, Sam Hafertepe and I have determined that capping RaceSaver® Sprint entries at 60 will give the fans a great 3-night show and allow race officials to keep everything moving along for both the RaceSaver® Sprint division and the Sprint Car division.”
Short adds: "We had the provision of capping entries on the website rules since registration launched last week, but we didn't anticipate crossing that bridge so early in the process."
