Cowtown Midget Championship/Mod Fast 50/600’s Set For March 5-6

Kennedale TX (2/16/10) by DarinShort.com. After a historic snow event in the DFW put the kibosh on the weekend racing at Cowtown Speedway on February 12-13, a new replacement date is now in place. The entire 2nd Annual Cowtown Midget Championships presented by National Health Care Advisors and Sunoco Race Fuels, Fast 50 for Modifieds and all three ASCS2 series events will be run on March 5-6. The midgets are sanctioned by SMRS/USAC, the modifieds are sanctioned by NCRA and all three divisions of 600’s are sanctioned by ASCS2.

177 drivers from 11 states have entered the event in advance. For those teams returning in March, they are still entered and there is nothing additional those teams need to do. If you are one of those teams that cannot return on March 5-6, simply email CowtownSpeedway@yahoo.com with your intent to withdraw from the event by February 28. New entries will be accepted at the track website, and registration is up and running.

To those fans that had purchased advanced 2-day passes, the same applies. If you are coming March 5-6, then there is nothing further you need to do. If you cannot make it, please email CowtownSpeedway@yahoo.com by February 28.

This schedule change will also force the postponement of the 2010 Cowtown Go Kart opener that was set for March 5, and the Cowtown Speedway point’s opener on March 6. The points season for both of the Friday night Go-Karts and the Saturday night classes will kick off the following weekend, March 12-13.

Here’s a quick glance at the revised weekend schedule, with details following below (This is the exact same schedule that was originally scheduled on the printed event flyer, just with the date change.):

Thursday March 4 – Practice night for cars competing this weekend only. Parking is assigned for this event, so cars not racing are not allowed on this special practice night. Gates open at 5pm, practice until 9 or 10pm. Main grandstand closed.

Friday March 5 – Complete Midget program including a 30-lap feature. Plus, heats and qualifying features for all additional racing divisions. Pits open at 3pm, Grandstands open at 4pm, Hot Laps at 5:30pm, Races at 6pm.

Saturday March 6 – Complete Midget program including a 35-lap championship feature. Plus, last-chance races and championship features for all additional racing divisions. Fan Fest 12pm-1:15pm, Pits and Grandstands open at 1:30pm, Hot Laps at 3pm with championship races at 4pm.

Here are weekend event details:

The 2nd Annual Cowtown Midget Championship presented by City Vending, National Health Care Advisors and Sunoco Race Fuels will now take place on March 5-6, 2010; and will certainly provide a weekend of wild racing action once again. The full-blown midgets will compete for $1,000 to win on Friday and $3,000 to win on Saturday. Each of their feature events will start 24 cars. The midget portion of the weekend is sanctioned by SMRS/USAC.

The race in 2009 also resulted in the largest field of midgets in the state of Texas in recent memory, as over 40 teams assembled.

The ASCS2 Series will be on hand to kick off their 2010 season with the Winged Outlaw ‘Multi’ and Non-Winged ‘A’ classes (of what Cowtown fans know as the Winged 600’s, just without wings). With $1,500 earmarked to win for each ASCS2 division, there’s sure to be full fields of top quality cars from throughout the region, as was the case with both ASCS2 events at Cowtown in 2009.

Plus, the first ever visit of the ASCS2 Restricted 600’s will take to the brand new 1/6 mile “Action Track” at Cowtown, with the winner taking home a cool $1,000.

The always exciting Cowtown Modifieds will race their traditional Fast 50 for $2,000 to win and $400 to start (24th). The race will be sanctioned by NCRA, and this is also their season point’s opener. Visit www.NCRAracing.org for more info.

With over $60,000 cash posted for the weekend, fans can expect another great field of cars. Discounted race pre-entry has now concluded, but you can still register online at the track website. Midgets do not have a pre-entry fee, but must pre-enter to receive a reserved pit parking space.

Race fans, you can enjoy the entire weekend’s action by purchasing your 2-day tickets in advance at the track website by 3/4/10 (Thursday). 2-day adult grandstand passes are just $30, a savings of $5 off of race night pricing.

And the extremely popular “Fan Fest” returns to Cowtown Speedway on Saturday, March 6 from Noon until 1:15pm. Ticket holders for that day’s race will be allowed into the pit area during that time to meet with the race teams, get autographs, apparel, pictures and much more. The main ticket booth will be open at noon as well.

An open practice night for all weekend competing race divisions (only) will be held on Thursday March 4 from 5pm-9pm. Concessions and fuel will be available, and pit passes are $20. (The main grandstand will be closed.)

As of the morning of February 11, here is the complete entry list for the event. We will republish a revised entry list after withdrawals and new additions come in the week of the event:
