The 2012 Winter Challenge will feature top traditional Sprint Car drivers from around the country as the American Sprint Car Series faces off with the USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series while IMCA Modified aces converge in the valley of the sun for what is anticipated to be one of the largest racing events of 2012. More than $100,000 in "A" Feature money alone will be distributed over the course of the blockbuster event that kicks off with the $2,000 to win Winter Challenge opener and will conclude with the $5,000 to win finale on February 4th.

Nearly 100 drivers from across America will be expected to take part in what will be one of the must see events of 2012 and will feature the Nations top teams all gunning for one of the richest payouts in the west.

The super fast ASCS2 Micros will join the CSP Pure Stock Series for five of the six days of action as two competitive divisions join an already stellar field of cars for some spectacular rave events.

Hey, Bob. Glad you made it. I thought about calling you the other day, but didn't get it done. I'm flying in this Thursday, and am planning to come by the track before heading to me stepson's. Looking forward to seeing you. And I'll take you up on that

What a great bunch of participating drivers! This deal looks like it very well could shape up to be a great series of races.

Is there any possibility that the series, or any part of the series, will be offered for sale via live internet PPV?
