31 Races For USAC East Coast Sprint Cars

SPEEDWAY, Ind. – Thirty-three events make up the schedule for the USAC Rapid Tire East Coast Sprint Cars Presented by Capitol Trailers.

All 33 feature events will pay at least $2,000-to-win and $300-to-start during the series’ fifth season of competition, which begins on April 2 at Bridgeport Motorsports Park, the first of five races at the New Jersey dirt oval. The series returns to Bridgeport on April 30 and July 2 as well as a two-day show on October 29-30 with heats on Saturday and features on Sunday. The series finale will take place there a week later on Nov. 4.

Likewise, Pennsylvania’s Bloomsburg Fair Raceway will host five dates of its own on May 5, June 2, July 7, July 29 and Aug. 18.

Three trips are slated for Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania’s Williams Grove Speedway on April 15, June 3 and July 8. The April date will mark the inaugural Bill Gallagher Memorial, paying $5,000-to-win.

Like Williams Grove, Pennsylvania’s Bedford Speedway and New Jersey’s New Egypt Speedway will welcome the series on three occasions.  Bedford’s time comes April 22, May 20 and Oct. 15.  New Egypt is the place to be on May 28, July 30 and Oct. 22.

Two visits apiece are on tap for Pennsylvania’s Port Royal Speedway, Selinsgrove Speedway and Action Track USA in Kutztown.

After debuting this year, the series returns to the Action Track USA bullring on July 13 and Aug. 3.
