SOUTH BOSTON, Va. — The Must See Racing Sprint Series presented by Engine Pro is set to kick off the new season with a pair of events at South Boston Speedway this weekend April 29-30.
It will be the first time winged sprints have roared around the historic four-tenths mile speedway. It will also be the first time MSR has competed in the state of Virginia.
Two nights of full racing programs complete with 30-lap feature events both nights will be on tap with a full field of drivers representing seven states expected.
Defending MSR champion Anthony McCune headlines a list that also includes three-time Little 500 champion Jeff Bloom, Five-time MSR champion Jimmy McCune, and home state Virginia driver Anthony Linkenhoker.
Must See Racing in an attempt to help teams compete this weekend despite high fuel costs, will be proving fuel subsidies through sponsor Steadfast For Veterans.
“To assist our race teams with today’s excessive travel/fuel cost our marketing partner Steadfast For Veterans decided to reallocate the weekends $2,000.00 Steadfast For Veterans Challenge funds to a fuel subsidy for the race teams based on their travel distance,” said MSR President Jim Hanks. “That’s the kind of cooperative partnership that makes our series and sport work, we really appreciate it. It is a real honor to play our part getting the word out to race fans about their commitment to provide housing for homeless veterans and how the racing community can contribute to their worthy program.”
This weekend’s inaugural ‘American Sprint Car Weekend’ won’t be the first-time sprint cars have roared around South Boston Speedway, but it will be the first time the powerful winged 410 sprint cars have graced the facility that opened in 1957.
Other drivers currently entered include Bobby Santos III, Joe Liguori, Tommy Nichols, Jacob Dolinar, Tim Henthorne, Rick Holley, Tom Jewell, Todd McQuillan, Mike McVetta, Johnny Petrozelle, Joshua Sexton, Charlie Schultz, and Joe Speakman to date.
