What's the purse for sprints?

Looking forward to my first trip to Chandler in 15 years May 2! I believe Kevin will pay similar to the Clay County payoff last year.

Unless Bloomington is not running on those nights, I don't see a large turnout of sprint cars. If it is an off night for Bloomington, I'll probably check it out.

The race 5/2 is a Saturday, with Putnamville and Lawrenceburg running, but not Paragon. And the other two are on Fridays when Bloomington is not running, but Gas City is. Smart scheduling by Chandler. Gas City is a long haul on a Friday from the South part of the state.

Thanks Kevin. Looking forward to running there again.

Will update Facebook soon with new track improvements pictures......currently devoting all my time to my Indiana track to make it a successful as we did the past 3 years across the Wabash! Check out www.chandlermotorspeedway.com and keep in mind it's not just a Friday night track in 2015 we are racing some selective saturday nights and more to follow. Late models also, Thanks Kevin

July 10th at Gas City is night one of Indiana Sprint Week! But it could work out ok not everyone runs ISW events!

I could look it up, but where is it located?

Evansville

Hey kevin is that 1st date supposed to be may 01 the 2nd is on a saturday

Yes first date is on a Saturday may 2, some wanted me to try a Saturday along with the two Friday's that are scheduled on May 15 and July 10 see to there!

Just saw on that new blogs Twitter about these races, must have missed it on here before.

How's the racing at this track? Never been but seen Kenny Wallace tweet about running modifieds there in the past.

It's an older facility, built in 1970, track has come a long way the past year and much more going on as we speak. We have great guys preparing the racing surface and have a racing surface that becomes black slick smooth before feature events. I had both Kenny Wallace and Kenny Schrader at the track last season. Wallace was there early in 2014 when track conditions was not at its best and schader was there later when things were better. Both have indicated they will return this season, date pending. Schader said it best, referring to the facility, "he said at least you can tell someone gives **** about this place." Left me feeling that I am doing something right.

Kevin, I hope you make on offer on the facility.

Re: Chandler (IN) Motor Speedway-Three 410 Non-Wing Sprint r
 

Kevin, since the drag strip is not reopening this year, maybe you could get a package deal and run both facilities. The drag strip has been around since 1964, and with its closure the closest strip is at Lyons, IN. Maybe you could run it in your spare time. :)

Black, slick surface does not turn my crank. Thank you for the heads-up on that. I go to Salem for that.

Last time I went there was for a scora race and the track had a cushion up on the wall if I remember right. The racing actually wasn't half bad, if there's not a USAC or mscs race I might have to go check it out.

Don't be afraid to put the moisture in her, Kevin! I raced a T.Q. there in May of 2000, so looking forward to my first trip to Chandler in 15 years!

I was excited about going till I read this, non wings want tacky tracks, not slick where we abuse motors and burn $200 tires up in less than 20 laps.

Maybe we should just be thankful that Kevin is stepping up and having a few sprint car races. Gives us a few more options as driver and fans.
Once again Kevin. Thanks for giving it a try.

Kevin it is great to see you working so hard to improve this track. It is truly a hidden jewel and I know the sprints will put on a great show at this track. We had some of the best racing of the year at this track with the MMSA last season. I enjoyed how the pits was so close to the track. It was one of the few tracks that you do not have to walk a half mile to get from the pits to the main grand stand. Keep up the great work and hopefully everyone who has not been to this track will come and see some great racing this summer.

Boy, nothing like a lot of support for a guy that is trying to save a race track, and doing one hell of a job IMO.
I was there last year when Ted Brown's Body Shop sponsored the evening when Schrader was there. The track was so wet at first that they had EVERY car in the pits out running it in. Turned out to be a excellent track. Not BLACK and SLICK. Hear me fellas. Not BLACK and SLICK. Geez, give him a break. Never heard such negativity, except on here. And you wonder why the sport is the way it is. Although it certainly does not surprise me from some of the posters on this site. Kevin , keep up the dedicated good work, and don't let a few bad eggs spoil your enthusiasm. I will be there to support your efforts.

Looking forward to going. Kevin did a great job in the time he ran Clay County Speedway! I am sure he will do the same in Chandler.:6:

Nice thing about the 5/2 date is the world of outlaws are at haubstadt for an early show on Sunday, May 3rd. It would make for a nice doubleheader in the area.

Re: Chandler (IN) Motor Speedway-Three 410 Non-Wing Sprint r
 

What's the sprint purse? It has to be decent, which I'm sure it will be, to get anybody to drive down here.

Nice story on the Chandler track last night on the local news. Renovations underway at Chandler Motor Speedway http://www.14news.com/story/28575605...motor-speedway

Kevin, will Chandler be an open tire rule for the non-wing sprints?

Thank you,
Michael Koontz

Yes for these 3 races open tire rule

For those who havent been, Chandler is a little like Haubstadt with LONG straights and tight corners. Made it down last year and track prep was fine, no better or worse than any other Indiana track. Also note that I havent seen a truly WET track in about twenty years, guys, at least one that wasnt created by a rainstorm so...... Kevin works hard at putting on the best show he can and has great ideas about getting kids excited to be there. Last year my little guy went down on the straightaway for a foot race and he and another little tyke decided to take the ENTIRE lap around to the finish to huge applause. You couldn't wipe the smile off his face after clocking in the slowest lap ever at Chandler. Aside from the foot races Chandler has to be one of the Fastest bullrings around as they really can pour on the steam on those straights.
