As was done last year, we (the family of the late Mike Cunningham) have donated money to be added to the total sprint purse for Saturday June 5th in his memory. Mike was an avid sprint car fan and attended every race at Tri-State Speedway. He was killed two years ago on June 6th in a tragic highway accident north of the track on Highway 41.
The increase of $3500 will be spread across all 20 spots in the feature. The feature winners portion will be the highest at $1,500. With the addition the KISS/MSCS feature will now pay $4,000 to win and $400 to start.
We are also giving $100 to each sprint heat race winner. The payout as it was, what we're adding to each position and the final payout are posted below.

I just want to say thank you for everyones support with this. I plan on making this a yearly tribute. We had a good turnout last year and I hope this year is as good or even better than the last! Like it was posted above I have added $100 to be given to each sprint car heat race winner.

Thank you for all the work your family has done and keeps doing to make this sport better. I can't think of a better way to recognize him than to do it at the track.

I was there last year and it was a very moving and fitting tribute to a man who loved racing.
