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.
