Just seen this on the tracks Facebook page. Attica Raceway Park has dropped their All Star sprint car dates for Renegade Sprint Car Series dates. Sounds like Guy Webb has shot him self in the foot and almost killed the All Stars due to recent comments.

Via the Renegade Facebook page: Due to some recent issues we have been contacted buy tracks now wanting Renegade races instead of All Star races.

2025 Season - TBA

I've heard first hand that most promoters that don't have All Star races anymore; is all because of Guy Webb. If it was Bert Emick, the series would have 70-80 shows easy right now.

If I was a fan, Id call before leaving for a ASCOC race. If I was a racer, Id make sure the purse was guaranteed.

I feel sorry for the teams, drivers and tracks mixed up in it. They all want to put on the best show possible and Webb steps in it big time. When Swindell and Kinser went of with USA and later NST I didn't hear WoO ownership bashing the teams that made it great. They took a (Can't blame ya for trying to do better, but when you can't or it fails. YOU'LL Be back) approach.

Farmer tweeted that Fremont is concentrating on F.A.S.T and is taking all things into consideration.

WOW, Just wow. I honestly didn't think it would tumble like it has.

Well the crap has just about been blowed through the fan. Looks like Eldora, Limaland, Waynesfield & Fremont are the holdouts at least until I hear or see different.

Can't believe it took this long & the same thing could happen to another series that a lot of people talk crap about.

Renegade Sprints Sanctioning Five Races at Attica Raceway Park in 2015

Renegade Sprints Sanctioning Five Races at Attica Raceway Park in 2015

Inside Line Promotions – FINDLAY, Ohio (Jan. 2, 2015) – The Renegade Sprints is starting the new year with a big announcement about sprint car racing in Ohio.

Attica Raceway Park has aligned with the 410ci sprint car series for the 2015 season. The Renegade Sprints will compete at the third-mile oval in Attica on April 3-4, June 19 and Sept. 4-5.

“We’ve been taking our time seeing how things played out,” Attica Raceway Park General Manager Rex LeJeune said. “Due to recent events in the last week or so and getting word from a lot of the drivers that they wouldn’t be coming to Attica for a lot of races, it’ll be in the best interest of our fans to go in a different direction.”

Easter Weekend will showcase the April 3-4 races known as the Spring Nationals.

“We’re looking forward to a good relationship with the Renegade Sprints and bringing the best races we can to our race track,” Attica Raceway Park Promoter John Bores said. “We’re looking for a good 2015 as we kick off the season with two big days of our Spring Nationals.”

June 19 was the slated Ohio Speedweek date and the Sept. 4-5 events are on Labor Day Weekend.

“From what we were reading and hearing they had a good turnout and the fans enjoyed the shows,” LeJeune said of the Renegade Sprints events in 2014. “They did some creative things with the fans and the teams. The nucleus of drivers have been around our area for a long time and we want them to be a part of our race track.”

Renegade Sprints President Shane Helms added that Attica Raceway Park is a boost for the series.

“They are huge in Ohio,” he said. “It’s sprint car country. Tracks were threatened to lose their Speedweek dates if they signed with the Renegade Sprints. I’m glad Attica came on board.”

With the addition of Attica Raceway Park to Millstream Speedway, Atomic Speedway, Hilltop Speedway and Wayne County Speedway, the Renegade Sprints are in shape to put together a Speedweek.

“If Sharon Speedway, Fremont Speedway, Limaland Motorsports Park, Waynesfield Raceway Park or Eldora Speedway want to reach out then we’d be glad to talk,” Helms said. “It is time to get Ohio on the same page. We’re extending an offer to those tracks. Ohio deserves a Speedweek where everybody can come.”

I'm really looking forward to bringing Renegades to Hartford Speedway in Michigan this year. They have been very professional and easy to work with.

That is one race I will try to make. Can't beat the Winged Sprints on the "Wicked 1/2 Mile"
