USA RACEWAY 2010 SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

Kevin Montgomery, co promoter at USA Raceway, has announced the proposed 2010 Racing Schedule at USA Raceway. With the 2010 racing season just around the corner and USA Raceway continuing its trend of becoming one of the nations premier short tracks, an exciting 2010 race schedule has been released.

While more than 30 events grace the 2010 schedule one would think it may be hard to top the 2009 season! With great optimism promoters of USA Raceway created a 2010 schedule that may do just that! With the cooperation of neighboring tracks, the level of competition will be at an all time high making for extreme excitement race fans will not want to miss.

The 4th Annual “Copper on Dirt” will lead the way to an exciting 2010 championship season that kicks off with ASCS Non Wing Sprint Cars Presented by Discount Tire on March 13th. The championship season opener will kick off the 2010 points battle for the Super Stocks, Factory Stocks, and X-Mods and will be followed up by the ASCS Southwest Wing Sprint Cars on March 20th and Barnett Harley Davidson Ump West Modifieds on March 27th, giving all divisions an early start on the championship season.

“We had a great 2009 season and we are looking forward to a great 2010,” commented Benji Lyons. “We are always looking for ways to improve the fan experience and we have some great new things coming for this year.”

There will be an opportunity for race fans to get a preview of the 2010 racers at an open practice slated for March 12th. The festivities will kick off at 6:00pm with grandstand admission free for all those who want a sneak preview. The 21st Annual Dwarf Car.com Nationals will take place a week prior to the season opener for race fans that want to get a head start on the season.

Congratulations to Brett Moffat for being Pro Class Track Champion 2009, Team Firebird. Brett has only been competitive racing since late 2004 and has done a remarkable job. Won some races thru those years, not many, until 2007 and each year since has gotten better. Finished in 5th place every year at Firebird until 2009. In the top 10 at Speedworld finishing in 2008 at 2nd and 10th at SIR in 2007. In 2007 went to Las Vegas and won the low roller Gambler.

This year has been just going rounds. Runner up twice at Firebird. Qualifying by cutting good lights. The last two races were very close with the top six racers. Finally came down to the wire at the last race with Brett as the winner! Brett states “there are a lot of great tuff racers at all the tracks and am truly honored to now be among them as a Track Champion“.
