MADERA, CA. (12.16.13) - The LoanMart Madera Speedway is proud to announce its participation in the brand-new King of the Wing series for 2014, which will challenge the best Sprint Car drivers in the nation in a six race national championship.

The series will hit Madera Speedway on Friday November 21st, followed by Irwindale Speedway on Saturday November 22nd and Kern County Raceway on November 23rd where the series champion will be crowned.

Series organizer Davey Hamilton tested a Winged Sprint Car on the west coast this past October of this year, recording lap times in the 15 second range and above 120 miles per hour average driving for Western Speed Racing at Kern County Raceway. Shortly after this test talks began among the track operators and Hamilton to bring this series to life.

"This has been a long time in the making as we at Madera have worked hard to keep winged open wheel racing going out West. Davey and I have talked many times about a series and I'm proud to be a part of this Midwest/West Coast Winged Shootout. I'm also proud to be a part of a group of track operators working together to build something strong for our sport" adds Kenny Shepherd.
