Attention sprint fans and teams:
If your plans include being at the November Sprint Shootout at Cowtown Speedway on Nov. 13-14, you may want to come a day early to take in "Fan Appreciation Night at the Topless 100" held on November 12...grandstand admission is FREE to all fans.
You'll get a chance to watch sprint driver Sam Hafertepe Jr. drive a topless modified 100 laps, as he qualified for the second row of the feature in a field of over 40 top modified drivers from throughout the region.
Sam has limited experience driving a modified, but has quickly adapted to the cars and can really mix it up with the more 'seasoned' modified drivers.
And Sam is not the only sprint driver that will be in competition:
-Perennial local favorite George White will be starting in the 5th row...George won this event a few years back from the tail after getting spun on the first lap.
-Former USAC Silver Crown champion Paul White is also in the field, starting in row 8.
-Former sprint car driver Sean Jones starts in row 9. Sean also qualified for a 4th row start of the $1500/win Topless Limited 40 lap championship feature on Nov. 12.
And in the $1500 to win Winged 600 Championships, sprint drivers Aaron Ruetzel, Justin Melton, DonnieRay Crawford and George White are in the 30-lap feature line-up.
Here are the event details:

Kennedale TX (11/4/09) by DarinShort.com. Have you seen those new TV commercials for Ally Bank about being weary of things sounding too good to be true? Well, this isn't one of them.
On Thursday November 12th at Cowtown Speedway fans of all ages will be admitted into the grandstands to the "Fan Appreciation Night at the Topless 100" and watch 200 laps of Championship racing free of charge.
Here's the scoop:
-Thursday November 12th will be the conclusion of the October 11th racing program (see line-ups below).
-Pits open at 5pm, Grandstands open at 6pm, Hot Laps at 6:30pm, Races at 7pm.

-Personal coolers are allowed in the grandstand, but can only be the size of a 6-pack, 14" or less in size and no glass containers allowed. In the event of a capacity crowd, you will be asked to place your cooler under your legs, as it cannot take up a seat; as is the case with all Cowtown events.
-Full concessions will be available in the pits and the grandstands.

-Others that had purchased pit passes on October 11th will be admitted to the pit area for free by presenting their October 11th pit armband at the pit window. Anyone wishing to purchase a pit pass may do so for $20.
-In the event of another rainout, this event will be completed on Sunday, November 15th.
-The November Sprint Shootout practice night scheduled for November 12th has been cancelled. Please do not arrive on Thursday with your race car hauler if you are racing the NSS the next day, as we will not have pit parking or grandstand parking available for your hauler until Friday morning.
-Modified and Limited modified drivers are to run topless (only) on Thursday. If you are staying to run the NSS the following day, it is your option to run a roof or not at the NSS.

www.CowtownSpeedway.com and there you will also find complete details of the November 13-14 NSS.
Only four drivers in the entire field have withdrawn their entry to the conclusion of the October 11th event set for November 12th. A strike through on a name below means they requested to withdraw their entry by the October 31st deadline and will have their payback sent to them. All others are scheduled to race on November 12th. Alternates will not be added to the starting line-ups, as those drivers withdrawing their entries will be paid those starting spot purse monies.
