The MOWA Sprint Car Series presented by Casey's General Stores and the Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget Series join forces for a specal Championship weekend for both series at Lincoln Speedway and Jacksonville Speedway this Friday and Saturday October 10th and 11th.

Friday October 10th - Lincoln Speedway

When is the last time a single racing card featured 410 winged sprint cars, national midgets and super late models? That's what's in store this Friday at Lincoln Speedway as the MOWA Sprints and POWRi Midgets are joined by the Midwest Big Ten Super Late Model series. The night will markthe championship night for the Big 10 late models and will be the second to final race for both MOWA sprints and POWRi midgets. Also in action are DIRTcar Stock Cars. Hot laps are at 6:15 with racing at 7:00.

Saturday October 11th - Jacksonville Speedway

The MOWA Sprints, POWRi Midgets and Micros conclude their season as a part of the Inaugural Ron Milton Race of Champions - honoring Jacksonville's favorite sprint car driver and long-time co-promoter of Jacksonville Speedway, Ron Milton, who passed away earlier this year. The event will also feature a day of Nostalgia with vintage car and memorabilia displays organized by Jacksonville track historian Wayne Stearns. We are starting the program at Jacksonville an hour earlier than normal with Micro and Street Stock heats at 6:00 and a target of starting the Sprint/Midget/Modified part of the program at 7:00 in order to allow our local classes to participate in the event but allowing the traveling fan to primarily watch the core of the open wheel program at the normal start time.

The Jacksonville event is reserving a tentative rain-date for the following night Sunday October 12.

A great field of the Midwest's best open wheel drivers have indicated they plan to attend this event with several planning to do double duty in both a sprint car and midget. Grandstand admission each night is $25 with ages 11-18 just $7 and kids 10 and under Free.

Thanks to our old pal Ross Wece for the video work. It's always great when a guy isn't too proud to remember where he came from in helping out his old pals with MOWA while he sits in Charlotte checking into WRG headquarters every day for what is officially described as "work".

After a nearly 40 year absence, my dad, Al Thomas will be bringing his #27 car back to Jacksonville Sat. It will be on display under the grandstand.

Awesome. Wayne has been working hard to get in touch and get some really neat things lined up.
