From USSA's "The Racing Line":
USSA to Sanction Anderson Speedway’s Glen Niebel Classic Sprint Car Race USSA and Officials of Anderson Speedway have announced that the United States Speed Association will sanction the Glen Niebel Classic Sprint Car race to be held on the high banks on Sunday April 29. The USSA Mel Kenyon Midget Series will join the Sprint cars for a full day of open wheel action. The Sprint Car portion of the event will be conducted under the car rules used for Anderson Speedway’s Pay Less Little 500, including the Hoosier Tires used for the “Little 500”. The event is an opportunity for cars to tune up for the Pay Less Little 500 as well as for non-winged pavement sprint cars to have a place to race. “We are grateful to Rick Dawson and Anderson Speedway for the opportunity to sanction the Glen Niebel Classic Sprint Car race,” said Don Kenyon, USSA’s President. “It gives us a chance to help fill the hole that has been left in pavement sprint car racing,” he explained. Fans who have never attended a non-winged sprint car race at Anderson Speedway owe it to themselves to make the trip. The 800+ horsepower cars are not only very fast, they put on a tremendous show for the fans with passes being made at both ends of the speedway as well as down the front and back straights. The USSA Mel Kenyon Midget Series will feature the Kenyon Car Midgets, full size midgets racers powered by Yamaha engines, traditionally featuring close racing and plenty of excitement from the green to checkered flags. For further information regarding the schedule of events and Little 500 rules, visit www.andersonspeedway.com or contact USSA at 765-482-4273 or 317-413-9763

Very Cool. Thanks to the Kenyons for filling that void for non-winged pavement sprints that was left by USAC.

Thanks to Anderson and the Kenyons for giving us a shot at running the sprint car in 2012. I was really hoping someone would step up and give all the owners a chance to run them this year.

Glad this race is going to happen. Now the big question will be, how many guys will bring out there little 5 cars. I enjoy watching Chet Phillip, would love to see the boat twice this year!

Would like too see this grow and do more paved tracks. More non winged sprint races would be nice.

This is a great idea!!! Really looking forward to this event....and hopefully more events like this to come. Non-wing pavement sprintcar racing needs someone besides USAC to step up. Kudos to USSA and the Kenyons!
