The Sportsman Award was originally intended as a one-time deal to 1) provide a financial incentive for Focus, Ecotec and Motorcycle based racers to participate, and 2) provide some publicity for those racers. Since Alex was the top sportsman last week in the Wally Sexton #41 Focus after a great battle with Johnny Heydenreich and Tyler Kendall, we decided to go 'double or nothing' and roll it over to this Sat, along with another $50 for a total of $100 to this week's top sportsman driver. Hopefully this will add some excitement for the fans as well - they may not realize these guys have a 150 horsepower disadvantage over the full midgets, but are still racing hard for bragging rights among their group. Thanks to Harold and his crew for working with me on this - I know there are Focus and Mini's who want to run non-wing, lets show our support to Montpelier this weekend, and somebody will take home $200+ and have a great night at the races.
