2010
ASCS Patriot Schedule Finalized
Rich
Vleck, TULSA, Okla. (March 1, 2010)- Coming off a banner 2009 season, the ASCS
Patriots 2010 schedule has been finalized with a record number of enhanced
purses to reward racers and fans alike.
The
eighth season of competition for the Northeast Sprint series will feature 31
sanctioned events, including stops at 16 premier facilities from April through
October. This will also be the second year with the “Five Crown Tour” featured
to reward localized competitors.
For
the second time ever, Black Rock Speedway will play host to the season lid
lifter, taking place on April 30th. Black Rock will play a prominent
role throughout the year with the $4,000-to-win Insinger NY Nationals on August
6 as well as the return of the Fall Sprint Nationals on September 10 and 11.
The Saturday Night feature will pay $5,000-to-win.
Ohsweken
Speedway will host six dates on the calendar, with three dates throughout the
season as part of challenges with the ASCS Sprints on Dirt leading up to the
6th Annual Canadian Sprint Car Nationals. This year’s event will be
contested for three nights, with the Saturday finale paying out a record $10,000
to the winner.
Canandaigua
Speedway will host the second event of the year, extending their streak to eight
consecutive years of hosting a full-point Patriot event, the only speedway to
hold such an honor.
Sharon
and Eriez Speedways will host Memorial Day and Labor Day Weekend Doubleheaders
for the second straight year. All four events will each pay
$2,000-to-win.
Woodhull
Raceway will not only hold a stand-alone Patriot show on May 22, they will also
team with Clinton County Raceway, their sister speedway, to set up a pair of
$2,500-to-win challenge events at the end of July between Patriot competitors
and those from the newly formed Sprint Xpress Series.
Brockville
Speedway is back with a pair of full-point shows, plus their season-ending event
in October for the Riverside Bar and Grill King of the St. Lawrence as part of
their major weekend. Cornwall Speedway returns for a second consecutive year to
pair up with “The BOS” in July.
After
a year off, Ransomville Speedway is back on the Patriot tour. “The Big R” will
become part of the always-popular A-Verdi Storage Containers King of Central New
York Series. Ransomville will also be on the front-end of two-race weekend in
June, paired with 1st Annual Paul Johnson Memorial at Stateline
Speedway. Stateline, that track that hosted the inaugural Patriot event in
2003, will also be the site of the Insinger Race Fuels King of the Southern Tier
Championship Event.
Little
Valley Speedway is the only venue the Patriots will visit the first time, as the
big ½-mile will come to life on the Independence Holiday
Weekend.
Rolling
Wheels Raceway returns to the schedule with two big nights of racing in July,
including a $3,000-to-win Feature on Saturday Night.
Canada’s
Autodrome Drummond will for the second straight year put on the Quebec Sprint
Nationals in August. The following week the Patriots will be back in Canada,
this time at Merrittville Speedway in Southern Ontario for the Fine Touch
Collision King of the Golden Horseshoe Finale.
In
2009, Bryan Howland scored his second-straight Patriot title, a record-breaking
third overall for the Auburn, NY driver. Howland, along with runner-up Jared
Zimbardi, Don Adamczyk, Bubba Broderick and the Breen Brothers are just some of
the familiar front runners ready to attack the tour once again in
2010.
More
information will be out in the weeks to come, including at Gater’s Motorsports
Expo on March 13 and 14 at the NYS Fairgrounds in Syracuse, where five teams
will have their car on display. Details can be found at www.ASCSracing.com or www.ASCSpatriotsprints.com.
