FLOODING FORCES TEXARKANA USAC SPRINT CANCELLATION; ROCKET & DEVIL’S BOWL STILL ON
Speedway, Indiana (April 24, 2023)………Flooded grounds and heavy rain forecasted for the next several days has forced cancellation of the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship / ASCS Elite Non-Wing Sprint Car Series event at Arkansas’ Texarkana 67 Speedway scheduled for Wednesday night, April 26.
The weeklong trip in the south central U.S. now becomes a three-race tour through Texas this week after a near four-decade absence from The Lone Star State.
First up is the USAC National Sprint Car debut at the 3/8-mile dirt track at Rocket Raceway Park in Petty, Texas on Thursday, April 27, paying $6,000-to-win.
From there, the series travels to Devil’s Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas for the first time since 1985.* There, the series will compete for two-straight nights starting with Friday night’s $6,000-to-win opener on Friday, April 28.* On Saturday night, April 29, the weekend finale concludes with a $10,000-to-win main event at the 1/2-mile Devil’s Bowl dirt oval.
The 2023 USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship season has produced four winners throughout the first four points-paying events: Brady Bacon (Florida’s Bubba Raceway Park), Kyle Cummins (Florida’s Bubba Raceway Park), C.J. Leary (Indiana’s Bloomington Speedway) and reigning series champion Justin Grant (Indiana’s Tri-State Speedway) who currently leads the series standings entering the week.
In ASCS Elite Non-Wing action, Jason Howell (Fort Worth, Texas) leads the series standings after capturing victory in the season opener at Texas’ Kennedale Speedway Park.* Kyle Jones (Kennedale, Texas) scored the most recent series feature win at Texas’ Abilene Speedway.
