Western World Qualifying Nights Unveiled
Kevin Montgomery, TUCSON, Ariz. (November 12th, 2010) The excitement continues to build with only a few days remaining before the best sprint cars drivers in the world converge on Tucsons USA Raceway to kickoff the 43rd Annual KRONIK Energy Drinks Western World Championships. With more than 100 entries from 15 states already filed for the event set for November 18th-20th at Tucson's USA Raceway, The qualifying nights have been determined. The stellar field, including eight former Western World champions and numerous track and series champions from throughout the country, has been split into two nights. The Lucas Oil National ASCS Sprint Car contenders and the ASCS wingless warriors will be split with half of each field running on Thursday night and the other half on Friday night. The top eight national finishers from each night's main events will be locked into Saturday night's $15k to win championship feature while the top seven from each night's ASCS Canyon Region features will make up the first seven rows of the $5k to win wingless championship feature. The balance of Saturday's feature lineups will be determined by qualifying night finishing positions. A glance at each night's qualifying lineups is as follows: Thursday November 18th The Parker Store Qualifying Night Thursday kicks off the week in grand style as Lucas Oil ASCS National defending champion Shane Stewart and ASCS Canyon Region defending champion "Chargin" Charles Davis Jr. take to the track. Stewart will be in tough competition with three time and defending Western World Champion Sammy Swindell, and four time World of Outlaw Champion Donny Schatz among the Lucas Oil ASCS National qualifiers. Davis will head up the wingless qualifiers with some heavy hitters that include 2-Time Western World Champion Bud Kaeding, USAC National Champion Levi Jones and Indianas The Throttle Shane Cottle.
