COWTOWN SPEEDWAY, KENNEDALE, TEXAS

It’s Race Week! Cowtown Midget Champs/Mod Fast 50/ASCS2: March 5-6

Kennedale TX (3/1/10) by DarinShort.com. The snow event from February is now just pictures on the internet as a memory, as the rescheduled 2nd Annual City Vending 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.

182 drivers from 12 states have entered the event in advance. Advance driver registration is now over and teams wishing to enter can do so at the track on race night and their parking will be assigned by track officials, based on availability; as the pit capacity of Cowtown is 200 cars for this event.

Advance 2-day grandstand passes are on sale through Thursday, March 4th at the track website and will save fans $5 off of race night pricing.

Due to the reschedule date for this event, 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 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 take place this weekend, 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. There are currently 38 midgets registered to compete.

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. This is the first ever visit of NCRA modifieds to Cowtown Speedway.

With over $60,000 cash posted for the weekend, fans can expect another great field of cars. Discounted race pre-entry and reserved pit parking space requests are now concluded. Teams can enter at the track on race night and their rigs will be parked by track officials as they see best fit due to the large field of cars entered.

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.) Registered drivers are also urged to pick up their registration pay card on practice night to save them time on Friday night of not having to wait in line.

As of Monday morning, here is the latest weather forecast from NOAA:
Thursday: Mostly cloudy, with a high near 60. South southeast wind between 5 and 10 mph.
