MAY 1ST – KING OF THE MIDWEST SPRINTS - $2,500 TO WIN

The 7th Annual King of the Midwest Sprints race will be held on Saturday night May 1st at the Lawrenceburg Speedway in Lawrenceburg, Ind. This event features an increased purse with the Kelsey Chevrolet Sprints paying $2,500 to win and $250 to start the 25-lap feature.

King of the Midwest Sprints Feature Payout ($11,225 total)
1- $2,500, 2- $1,250, 3- $1,000, 4- $700, 5- $600, 6- $500, 7- $475, 8- $450, 9- $425, 10- $400, 11- $375, 12- $350, 13- $325, 14- $300, 15- $275, 16- $270, 17- $265, 18- $260, 19- $255, 20- $250.

As standard practice at all Lawrenceburg Speedway races, there will be $100 tow money paid to all sprint cars that do not start the feature. There is also a $63 Hard Charger Award for the sprint driver that advances the most positions from the originally posted feature starting lineup.

In addition to the increased purse Saturday night there will also be a slight change to the Lawrenceburg Speedway race format.

A blind pill draw will still be used to set the heat race groups, but lap times gathered during practice will set the heat race lineups. Cars will be lined straight up by time with the fastest four cars in each heat race inverted.

Heat race finish will still determine the B Main and feature lineups with the top two finishers in each heat race (if five or more heats only the winners) redrawing for their starting position at the front of the feature field.

Woot! Who can beat King Dickie Gaines, he's held the crown for about five years, But I think two were rainouts and one was covid. But he won back to back.

Will the racing families be there for Kodak moments?

I think a couple of them will be in the house tonight at Kokomo and tomorrow at the burg. I am working this weekend not my choice but I think that we will make some Kodak moments and life time memories at Eldora. Next weekend. Have a great weekend of racing events this weekend and enjoy the great things that we all love. God bless America. Thanks.

Max Adams fell back to about seventh on the start with Bilbee taking the early lead. Cling second and by the end of the first lap Hughes had come from sixth to third. Up on the wall, don't lift racing and Hughes was lightning fast. Going into three Cling got a bit sideways and Hughes had to get more sideways to miss him turning around and doing a back flip Ended Hughes and Clings night.

Restart about lap eight, Bilbee checks out. Adams who was up to fifth due to two exiting cars . Haselett, Abrams and others battling in the top five.

Well Bilbee kinda ran the top of the slick. Adams put it on the wall eating on any cushion left. With six to go Adams grabs lead and leads by a straight at checker.

Let it be known that from this day forward that Max Adams is King of the Midwest.

Bibent who was in the three with Haselet and Abrams swapping third fourth and fifth the second half of the race.
Weir who got spun around to miss the Hughes, Cling flip and restarted on tail.

Dad, Uncle and Dan Shaw as seating company. Got to spend a good ten minutes with the Mudpacker and Kelly and that was great to do as well. Great night, thanks to teams track and crews. See ya next week.

Although the track was super dusty, I like the burg when it’s up on the wall like that. Max made up all his ground ripping the lip in turns 3 and 4. Pretty good feature. I’m not so sure Max would have won if JJ Hughes didn’t get upside down. He was flying. Btw...in victory lane interview, Max said that was his first a main win in the family owned #5. Congrats!

Re: 5/1/2021 - Lawrenceburg Speedway - $2,500 to Win
 

I agree, To me it's what Eldora used to be when it's like that. Hair raising speed.

JJ and Weir were flying early before JJ's back flip. Weir restarted on the tail but JJ was done.

Now Im arguing with myself because last race was tacky as hell and only got halfway up; the track with mid 14 second laps into late in the feature and several last few laps lead swaps.

I love racing!

That's OK Charles. When I argue with myself I know I've got a good shot at winning.
