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
"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"
