NRA Sprint Invaders and Sprints On Dirt Winged Sprint Car Series Set To Battle at the Montpelier Motor Speedway Saturday, June 6th

When the K&L Ready Mix NRA Sprint Invaders and Engine Pro Sprints On Dirt rolls into the sleepy small town of Montpelier, Indiana on Saturday Night, June 6th, the event will feature a true epic battle drawing Ohio’s and Michigan’s finest winged sprint car drivers to the Indiana 1/4 mile bullring. The Border War 2 event will sanction the Ohio based K&L Ready Mix NRA Sprint Invaders against the Michigan based Engine Pro Sprints on Dirt bringing two separate sanctioning bodies to one single race. The event will mark the first time that NRA and SOD have co-sanctioned an event at the Montpelier Motor Speedway
.
The 2014 iteration of the Border Wars saw a tremendous battle with Ohio outlaw, Greg Wilson (Benton Ridge, Ohio) picking up the feature win from the 12th starting position besting Delphos, Ohio’s Shawn Dancer and California heavy hitter, the Hurricane, Randy Hannagan (from 7th). The race saw 4 different leaders during the green to checkers 25 lap feature event. For the former All Star Circuit Champion, Wilson, it was a bit of homecoming as Montpelier was the site of his first career sprint car win nearly 20 years earlier. Grand Ledge, Michigan driver, Dustin Daggett, is the defending Sprints On Dirt Series Champion while Bellfontaine, Ohio’s JR Stewart heralded NRA Sprint Championship honors. Both series have posted a variety of winners thus far in 2015 including Dustin Daggett, Randy Hannagan, Max Stambaugh, Kyle Sauder, Jared Horstman, JR Stewart, Butch Shroeder, and Ryan Ruhl. Dustin Daggett currently leads the chase for the SOD Championship while Max Stambaugh by virtrue of two wins leads the chase for the NRA Championship.

Also, joining the program will be the popular UMP Modifieds, Super Streets, and Thunder Cars. The UMP Modifieds have posted three different winners in three races with Todd Sherman, Tony Anderson, and Randy Lines all picking up wins. Tony Anderson is currently the points leader in both the UMP Modifieds and Super Streets while Ervin Turner is currently leading the Thunder Car Division.

The Montpelier Motor Speedway, which began racing in 1903 and hosted its first automobile race in 1915, is one of America’s oldest remaining racing facilities. Sprint car racing first came to Montpelier in the late 1940’s in the form of “Big Cars”. While the east central Indiana ¼ mile clay oval has a historic past, the facility has seen many major modern upgrades the past four seasons including new restrooms and bleachers along with the addition of many safety features such as a new catch fence system along with a new front stretch wall, lighting system, and runoff area. The Montpelier Motor Speedway commonly competes weekly on Saturday Nights with its popular Modified and Stock Car divisions, and is also the host to the popular Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget series.

General Admission will be $15 with Kids (12 and Under) – FREE!

Do the visiting sprint teams have to buy the $20 competitors license? I know some of the Ohio teams were complaining about that last year and it kept several teams away, even though it is only $20. It says on the website that it is required for competitors in the weekly divisions. Hoping to see a good field of sprints. 360 sprints have had some good shows there in the past.

The license is NOT required for any Sprint or TQ Midget Race and is only required for divisions that we offer a points fund to. The license didn't keep cars away last year as it wasn't required then either. We had two fewer cars than Lima the night before and those were lost to blown engines on Friday (Sauder and Yoakem - Yoakem pulled his engine for Hannagan to run Saturday).

NRA and SOD officials believe we will have a really good car count and with both series being involved it will guarantee we get the best drivers from both regions. Both groups are strong and it should be great show.

Since it thinks it has to rain every raceday now, how early do they pull the plug when necessary?

[BrianBSU23]

We typically try to make the call by mid morning if it doesn't look possible to race.

Good show Saturday night. Track was in good shape and the program was smooth. Having Maddox back as the announcer is a big plus also. Even though Horstman ran away with the sprints, I thought the racing in all classes was pretty entertaining. It was worth the drive and I am looking forward to another show with the 360 sprints in August.

[BrianBSU23]

Congratulations to Jared Horstman for picking up the NRA/SOD victory at the Montpelier Motor Speedway this past Saturday. Also, thanks to the large crowd that turned out to support the program. We appreciate it. The NRA/SOD Sprints will return to the Montpelier Motor Speedway on Saturday, August 1st.

What is most impressive is the daylight is still present and the feature is over! Must have been a nice timely event.

[Geoff Kaiser]

The sprint feature was over approximately 9:05, and that was after a 35 minute track prep before features
