I've just heard from Lawrenceburg promoter Dave Rudisell and things are looking even better for Saturday's King of the Midwest race.

Lawrenceburg Speedway and Kokomo Speedway have teamed up this Saturday April 30th and Sunday May 1st. If a sprint car driver wins the "King of the Midwest" race at Lawrenceburg Speedway on Saturday night and also wins the "King of Kokomo" race at Kokomo Speedway on Sunday night, they will be paid a bonus of $1,000!!!

So, if a sprint car driver wins at Lawrenceburg paying $2,000 to win, and Kokomo paying $2,500 to win, and the $1,000 bonus....That's $5,500!!

Good luck drivers!

This is a great example of tracks cooperating. Congratulations and thanks. I hope this gets the ball rolling for more cooperation in Indiana.

I am just guessing that these normally would have been KISS races.

Lawrenceburg's King of the Midwest race replaced the early season MSCS show a few years ago.We did driver intros on the front stretch at the stage a couple years ago.

The other two tracks running if you win both also pays 5.500 and a lot closer togather , less miles to travel Haubstadt and THAT

I guess it all depends on where you live. For me the total drive to go to Lawrenceburg and Kokomo is 343 miles round trip (6 hours 11 minutes).

The two tracks you talked about would be 622 miles round trip (9 hours 41 minutes). If I stayed in a hotel Saturday night my trip would still be 399 miles - over 50 miles more than Lawrenceburg/Kokomo. And I would have the cost of a hotel room to boot.

I would say it depends on where you live, and where it rains. If all shows run at least more teams will make better paying shows.
