Lawrenceburg, IN – The Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series will make their annual trek to the Lawrenceburg Speedway Saturday night to complete the Hoosier state doubleheader for the traveling series.
Gas City I-69 Speedway opens the weekend Friday night and then current BOSS point leader Drew Rader will lead the BOSS racers to southeastern Indiana for the “BOSS/Burg Showdown” against the Kelsey Chevrolet Sprints on the 3/8ths mile high banks of the Lawrenceburg Speedway.
Lawrenceburg has been a fixture on the BOSS schedule since 2012 with sixteen races scheduled over the last ten seasons. The spring 2017 race was halted by rain after the heats were run, the 2018 event was a complete washout, and last year's event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Thirteen BOSS events have been held at the Burg to date, 133 drivers have competed in those races with 105 making at least one feature start.
Justin Owen and Shawn Westerfeld are the only drivers to compete in every event. Westerfeld, the 2013 Lawrenceburg Speedway track champion and the 2015 and 2016 BOSS series champion, is the only driver to have started every feature. Westerfeld has two wins, seven top-five, and nine top-ten finishes in those twelve races.
Justin Grant (winner of the first BOSS event at Lawrenceburg on June 9, 2012), CJ Leary, and Thomas Meseraull have equaled Westerfeld, each scoring a pair of feature wins, while Nick Bilbee, Josh Hodges, Jordan Kinser, and Joss Moffatt have visited Signarama victory lane once under the BOSS banner.
Bilbee, the 2020 Lawrenceburg Speedway track champion, and current point leader is also the defending feature winner of the most recent “BOSS/Burg Showdown” held on May 18, 2019, where he led the final four laps over Scotty Weir, Bill Rose, Ty Tilton, and Shawn Westerfeld.
The sprint portion of the program will be run under BOSS rules and sanction and will utilize the standard BOSS purse of $2,000 to win and $300 to start the 25-lap feature.
BOSS/Burg Showdown Feature Payout ($10,250 total)
1- $2,000, 2- $1,000, 3- $750, 4- $650, 5- $550, 6- $500, 7- $450, 8- $425, 9- $400, 10- $375, 11- $350, 12- $340, 13- $330, 14- $320, 15- $310, 16- $300, 17- $300, 18- $300, 19- $300, 20- $300.

The highest finisher utilizing a steel block will also receive $50, and Hoosier Tire will present a new tire to the feature winner.
