$5000 to win "Hoosier Sprint Nationals" at Tri-State Speedway this Saturday!

Re: $5000 to win at Tri-State!
 

Race teams and drivers might want to check the MSCS web page. Looks like there will not be an entry fee or "license" for this race.While catching up on some weekend reading it caught my eye. Hope it helps those of you interested.

That is right, I got a flyer and letter in the mail that said exactly that.

MSCS has never charged an entry fee. We are waving the temporary license fee of $20 for this race. All you need to do is buy you pit pass and go racing. Remember we do utilize passing points so if you draw a high number you can still earn a great starting spot in the feature. Also if you go to www.mscssprints.com you will see the entire purse breakdown for this Saturday's Hoosier Sprint Nationals. We hope to see all of you there.

We'll be there!! First time racing at Tri-State, can't wait!

Re: $5000 to win at Tri-State!
 

Looks like a golden opportunity, put up by Tri-State, for a non-USAC follower to take home a big payday. Could it be...........Hendricks....Grant.........Shuman.... ...Weir.....Cummins.....Short......T-Mez....Fitzpatrick........Briscoe.....Time to put up or shut up and see who has the biggest nads to put it around the high banks. Your not scared of those walls, are you?? BAAAAWAAAHAAA!!!!!

Maybe Thomas will be heading west in the Baldwin car for the USAC run through the plains?

Why is Clayton being there worth the price of admission?

Re: $5000 to win at Tri-State!
 

I'm guessing he's talking about some of the great features he has ran there in the past. You my want to look a few of them up. I think after you watch them you will agree.:6:

That would be the reason,in my opion he's one of the most exciting drivers I've seen run at TSS and I've been going there for over 50 yrs!!

What are you guys thinking for car count? With all of the sprint cars in the area, if they can't get a good field for $5,000 to win something is wrong.

Re: $5000 to win at Tri-State!
 

I think this has been ground into the ground on another post that you started. Just go and have a good time. There will be enough cars. Quit worrying. You are wearing my azz out. As it has been said many times before on here........All of the cars that show up will be there..... :47: :deadhorse:


By the way, my guess would be about 600 cars, but that is just my rough estimate.

I'd say 22-25 cars.

Haubstadt should be the place to be this week end.....a good chance for a week end warior to win a big one with all the big teams out west. Probably will be the best show all year at TSS.
I would like to see a surprise winner.
Think about it.....no sprint cars have to wheel pack the track.....and you know it will be perfect.....hope every weekend warrior shows up.

I'm not trying to wear anyone out. Sorry if I struck a nerve.

Re: $5000 to win at Tri-State!
 

"you know it will be perfect.....hope every weekend warrior shows up."

been there twice this year and both times, far from perfect. dust bowl, no cushion just a pile of dusty dirt against the wall to bang off of not a true cush to run the corner against. you can only keep acting like the tracks as good as it once was so long, after that its called dreaming.(imo)

The track is always fast, racy, and has multiple grooves. Fans tend to look at what they see and not get the facts. I being a former driver have talked to current drives about the track because it has been a little dusty but they all say it still has bite in it which to the naked eye seems unbelieveable with the lite dust. I also agree the old dirt was better but the fact is the track is still racy with more than 1 line the entire night. People worry to much about car counts and, track conditions, etc. There will be a full field of sprint cars at TSS and probably about the same at LPS. As far as who I think may have a shot at winning, Jonathan Hendrick has been running pretty strong lately and with the passing points system starting in the back of the heat doesn't kill you. Should be a good night of racing at both venues not to mention the burg. Hopefully all the tracks and fans have an enjoyable and exciting evening of racing. I'll be at TSS.

Don't know what drivers you have talked to but the drivers I talk to say the new dirt they put on it sucks and it gets as one grooved as any place I have seen and the drivers feel the same way

QuickChange has made a total of only 9 posts! He registered on this forum in April 2012.

What's wearing my azz out is the senior members of this site treating new members as if they've been around the site for several years.

As for the race itself, TSS is paying $5000 to win... they will have a full field of cars. There's really no way to know the actual number of cars or drivers since they don't require a entry form for the race.

Now, that wasn't so hard.

No need to be sorry, you have just as much right to ask your question and express your opinion as anyone else on this board. Go and have fun that is what this deal is supposed to be all about.

Re: $5000 to win at Tri-State!
 

Thanks guys. I've been around racing for a long time. I am new to this area and am not use to having a choice of places to go. Trying to figure out the best place to go. The only reason I was concerned is that I went to TSS for the last MSCS show and the some of the USAC guys were there. They still only had 16 cars. I didn't want to drive 2 hours for 10 cars.

Re: $5000 to win at Tri-State!
 

I have talked to pretty much all of them considering im in the pits basically every week. I guess my question would be who are you talking to and how many races at tss have you been to this year??? Just in recent memory I watched stanbrough run the middle and the cushion durning sprint week with Clauson flying around the bottom from the tail to 3 with the best of the best on the bottom is clearly not one groove. And another question is do you talk to more than just sprint car drivers? I do, and the modified guys will say the same thing(the ones that are competitive. Wathched Cates run the bottom to win during sprint week as well to win the modified feature with people running the bottom middle and top. I would assume you talked to a couple guys who probably dont run up front a lot. But im looking at the year as a whole and the entire field of cars and drivers and not just a few sprint car guys. Of course if you miss the setup you probably would think its one grooved. But these like everything else are opinions, they're a lot like azzholes everyone has one. You're entitled to your own.

Re: $5000 to win at Tri-State!
 

How will the announcer explain to all the fans that possibly the top five drivers, and even more in the top ten in points, aren't even at the race? Not all fans get on IndianaOpenWheel, so when they show up to a $5000 to win race, expecting all of the big guns to be there, and they're not, thats a concern. I live over two and a half hours away, and I know I won't be driving down for that. With that being said, I hope Clayton spanks their butt!! If you live close to Indy, you can go to Putnamville and see about the same quality cars on this Saturday, and probably the same or more on car count. When I'm spending $20-25 for a race, I want to see a complete show, which would mean 3 or 4 heats, and a b-main with cars battling for the final transfer spot.

Re: $5000 to win at Tri-State!
 

Apologies all around. Quick Change,did not mean to rattle your cage. I owe ya a beer. You too Bill, Sweetheart........My azz hurts now.......Thanx for clearing this up!

I see what Clydesdale is saying. Looks like as many as 8 of the top 10 in Points may not be there.

Re: $5000 to win at Tri-State!
 

I will welcome each and every fan, driver, and car owner the same on Saturday as I do each and every MSCS race. I will thank them in person and on the mic for coming and spending the evening with us.

Sure you want to see the best of the best every time you go to a race track but that isn't always going to happen. A true fan, racer, and car owner goes to a track to do what they love and thats to see a good show and the drivers and car owners bust their ass to have a good car to put on a show for you.

6 of the top 10 drivers in MSCS points are also in the top 10 in USAC and that is a testament of how truly gifted they are in their profession. And yes that means Stanbrough, Ballou, Garnder, Hunter, Levi, and Stockon will be on a Midwest swing with USAC but that doesn't mean the Hoosier Sprint Nationals will be a dull show. There are several talented drivers and young guns that will be vying for a shot at $5,000 and the opportunity to propel their career. The next Levi, Stanbrough, or Ballou could very well be Chase Briscoe, Dakota Jackson, Jeff Bland Jr who will be at Haubstadt on Saturday.

I don't believe there is an announcer in the country that will apologize for a driver not being at the track on a paticular night. Instead I am going to inform everyone who is there, how their season has went and help them cherish a moment in victory that they will never forget!

We are truly honored to have the choices and options we do for Saturday night and i hope that each and everyone of you will go support your local track and have a great time.

Re: $5000 to win at Tri-State!
 

Between Eldora, Paragon, Lawrenceburg, and Putnamville, nearly 113 Sprint Cars raced last Saturday night.

15-20 are heading West on Thursday to run USAC. That leaves about 90-95 sprint cars.

Tri-State Speedway will draw plenty of talented racers for the Hoosier Sprint Nationals this Saturday.

I remember a few years ago when Kokomo booked a Sunday show against a big out of town race. They got nearly 40 cars and T-Mez won in the Hazen #57 from last making it one of the most memorable features in Kokomo Speedway history.

Tri-State Speedway doesn't run very often, but when they do, the racing is great and they pay some very respectable purses.

I will be there and I am looking forward to a great night of racing.

I'll be there.

Re: $5000 to win at Tri-State!
 

Jason, I have no doubt that you'll welcome all the drivers and fans, and treat everybody well. You guys are the Class Track for a reason, but that wasn't the point I was trying to make with my post. Most sanctioning bodies and series promote their drivers, and talk about points battles, ect going into an event in press releases, and also at the event. Even in the BOSS press release for this weekend they talk about all of the point battles occuring going into the weekend at Lawrenceburg. If you know that most of the drivers running with you now are also USAC drivers, it doesn't make sense to schedule a conflicting race, ecpeciallly one of a special event like this weekend's. It'd be like going to a World of Outlaws race, only to find out once you got there that Kinser, Swindell, Saldana, and Schatz were at another sanctioning body's race. OR it's like going to an All-Star race, and not seeing Schaffer, Blaney, or Gravel. I understand there are other talented drivers that will be there, but coming to a special show, you're expecting to see those big names and points leaders. I'd think it'd be embarassing as a sanctioning body if my top five drivers, and them some, were no shows at my event. Just saying.

Re: $5000 to win at Tri-State!
 

Clydesdale like i said before hoosier sprint national has always been scheduled on the last saturday of july maybe usac shouldnt of scheduled the way they did just saying dont be pointing a finger at one or another both parties probley could of done better. I really could give a **** !! if everybody waited for usac to be off or lawrencebug or putnamville not to run , there would be no race season. how bout we are so lucky we got a choice to go watch a race at different places

I understand and appreciate what you are saying. We have had this race at Haubstadt for a few years now with and without the USAC names there. We appreciate them racing with us as much as they can but this race isn't about any one particular driver or points contender. This race is the Hoosier Sprint Nationals, a big paying show for the Hoosier state drivers. Whether they are a big name or somebody we have never heard of, we are giving anybody that wants a shot at a great paying event to come race with us. This race is our way of saying thank you to all of the teams for supporting us throughout the years.

Question--Does a Clydesdale have a horse's azz? Good grief, let it go, man. Schedules are set last winter. Stay home and hit the dog already.

Re: $5000 to win at Tri-State!
 

Hey, it's no big deal, this is just a message board. Don't let it get you so worked up. Jason had responded to something I said previously and I just responded back. There was also people that were wanting to go there and asking some questions about the race. Sorry I stated facts that upset some people. One of the number one topics on this message board revolves around who's going to be at what race, so obviously people do care about who's going to be where.

Re: $5000 to win at Tri-State!
 

The fact of the matter is TSS will pay somebody 5K this weekend for winning a race. If you attend races to see certain drivers compete I have no problem with that. You must then choose to see a WOO show or USAC event depending on your preference. However, if you choose to attend races for the pure joy of watching racing (regardless of who is in the pit area) then this weekend may indeed be the race of the year at TSS. It is no secret that a handful of drivers have an advantage whenever they show up at a race due to a variety of factors including budget, talent and experience. On a weekend such as this when the top 5 or 6 favorites are committed elsewhere, I think it not only adds to the excitement but sets the stage for the winner being any one of 15 or 20 cars instead of a select few. I suspect they will have a full feature at TSS in both classes this weekend and considering I can attend this live event for less than what it would cost to take my family to see a movie, coupled with the fact that I am also going to get to be around racing friends supporting the sport we love, this is the preverbial "no-brainer" (the wife claims "no-brainers" are my specialty though so probably not a big deal :D).
