Special from Must See Racing

Winchester and Anderson Winged Sprint Car Events Set for Television

HOLLY, MI (February 24, 2009) - Must See Racing has announced a seven-race TV schedule for the 2009 season including an exciting week of sprint car racing from Winchester and Anderson Speedways. The Auto Value Bumper to Bumper Super Sprint Series (AVBBSS) and the Hoosier Outlaw Sprint Series (HOSS) winged sprints will kick off the week with Winchester Speedway’s Pier-Mac Plastics KING OF THE WINGS event on Sunday May 17th. The fastest short track cars in world then move to Anderson Speedway for THE MUST SEE RACING winged sprints on Wednesday May 20th, then the famous PAY LESS LITTLE 500 at Anderson Speedway on Saturday, May 23rd.

The taped delayed broadcasts, with veteran announcers Dave Argabright and Tom Bigelow, will be on Comcast cable throughout Michigan and Indiana and on www.mustseeracing.com.

"Two great race tracks, the super-fast HOSS and Auto Value winged sprints and teams from across the country…this is going to be fantastic open wheel racing" said Jim Hanks of Must See Racing. " Three events in one week on the high banks at Anderson and Winchester, with the fastest and most competitive pavement sprint cars anywhere, is going to be racing at it’s best," said Hanks.

The Pier Mac Plastics "King of The Wings" Sprint Car Challenge at Winchester Speedway will once again feature the country's top Winged Sprint Car drivers competing for the right to wear the traditional crown in victory lane. Jimmy McCune was crowned King after winning the fourth edition of the King of The Wings Sprint Car Challenge last year. McCune passed early leader Geoff Kaiser on lap four, then held off a late challenge from Kevin Feeney to get the win. Feeney fought his way through the field from his seventh place starting position to challenge McCune, but McCune pulled away late in the event to get the victory. Kaiser held on to finish in third with Greg Wheeler in fourth and Eddie Kelly in fifth.

The King of the Wings Sprint Car Challenge will be the first event in a 2-race showdown called the "Battle of The Banks". The second race will be at Anderson Speedway on Wednesday of Little 500 Sprint Car Week. Both tracks are heralded, as the "Fastest in the World" for their size tracks, and the over-all best finisher between the two shows will be crowned the "Battle of Banks" Champion.

The combination of the 2-race "Battle of the Banks" for Winged Sprint Cars and the Little 500 for non-winged sprint cars on Saturday, May 23rd makes for three great shows in six days for sprint car teams and fans alike.

"It’s very exciting to be part of something special like this," noted Winchester Speedway co-promoter R.J. Scott of CRA. "The King of the Wings at Winchester Speedway will be a great event leading into the awesome pavement sprint car week at Anderson Speedway culminating in the 61st Annual Pay Less Little 500. Traveling sprint Car teams and fans can now get three great races in one week in central Indiana."

Anticipation is strong on the Anderson side as well. "We are very pleased with the work that Jim Hanks has done in helping to organize these tracks, series and television outlets," noted Anderson Speedway owner Rick Dawson. "We are already getting great feedback from the teams and fans about how exciting this week will be. In addition to the Wednesday night Winged show and the Pay Less Little 500, the 2nd Annual Anderson Midget 400 Classic will be broadcast. This is a huge deal for the racers, fans and the Speedway"
