BOSS Adds 2 Dates - Inks Heat Race Sponsor

The Buckeye Machine BOSS sprint car series has filled two dates on the 2014 schedule. In addition, the first confirmed 2014 primary heat race sponsor was signed just days ago. The new schedule will be finalized in a matter of days.

On Friday, May 23rd the wingless warriors of BOSS will make history by attacking the 7/16 mile semi banks of Raceway 7 in Conneaut, Ohio. This will be the first ever traditional sprint car event at the 5,000 seat facility which was built in 1970 and currently promoted by Dan McDonald. The addition of this date forms a doubleheader weekend for competitors as the series will move south and across the border for a return visit to the beautiful Mercer Raceway Park in Mercer, Pennsylvania the next night.

Another new addition to the schedule is Saturday, July 5th when the series will visit America's Motorsports Park in Clearfield, Pennsylvania. This 1/4 mile dirt oval was reopened in 2013 by sprint car racer Jeff Taylor from New Jersey. This addition also forms a BOSS doubleheader as the tour will find itself at historic Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania the night before for a 4th of July Spectacular.

In other BOSS news, the series is proud to announce Burdette Builders of Sunman, Indiana is the first primary sponsor to sign on for 2014. Burdette Builders will be sponsoring a heat race event at every stop along the trail. Heat race events pay cash money to the top 4 finishers in the amount of $40, $30, $20, and $10. More sponsors will be announced in the coming weeks to cover the many BOSS heat race and bonus award payouts.

Don't forget, the 2014 tour will kick off at Fremont Speedway on Saturday, May 3rd with the 2nd Annual Mike Hensel Memorial paying a whopping $5,000 to win. Drivers will be fighting for a new points fund that will pay over $15,000 in cash and prizes to the top 15 in points courtesy of the new title sponsor, Buckeye Machine of Forest, Ohio. You can also see the series in action at Wayne County (OH) Speedway, Waynesfield (OH) Raceway Park, Lawrenceburg (IN) Speedway, Montpelier (IN) Speedway, Pittsburgh (PA) Motor Speedway, and Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio where the series will crown its champion once again as part of the Eldora Sprintacular to close the season on wingless sprint car racing in the Buckeye state.

This is a very interesting double. I had this weekend penciled into my race schedule but had a question mark for July 5th as to where to go. I've been wanting to get to Lernerville for a few years now, and this definitely gives me an incentive to make the trip. As for America's Motorsports Park, has anyone from this site ever been there? What's the place like?

I've never been there but here is the link to their website

Just watched some LM video of America's Motorsports Park Looks kinda like a Union County Tight paperclip with long straights Quarter. They were backin the LM's in. Should be a great place to run and watch.

Congrats again to BOSS for taking NW racing to more tracks.

Clicked on their website then clicked on schedule - it says 2013???

Schedule page is updated now! Thanks for the heads up!

Next year do a thur. Fri. Sat. Show at the burg. Great place to hold a big event and you can start a event that fans would come every year too.

Not knocking you my friend, but I don't think you get the whole purpose of BOSS series and stuff like that is where another series almost went extinct.

It's not running a series full of weekly racers who don't necessarily have dynamite under the hood and new sets of rubber every race, getting their loyalty and then holding races that will be cherry picked by the top teams in the nation. They have a couple higher paying than normal ones but once you hit the USAC and WoO figures your kinda slapping your base in the face.

I Certainly don't speak for anyone in it. But I sure appreciate where its come from and how its grown, How it's bringing teams and cars into NW sprint car racing and not CHASING THEM AWAY or Bankrupting them by forcing them to purchase stuff they can't afford just to have a chance at making the feature.

I also think a series like this running many different types of tracks makes for better overall drivers and for those on the way up, offers the top teams drivers who've seen it before, or something pretty close.

They pair up a weekend so they can get a couple races in one trip without 500 miles each way for two or more races.
Chuck, still anxious to see what the June Race holds for the Burg
