Welcome back to Tucson everyone-

 
After a great night of racing on the most competitive surface we have seen at Prescott Vally Raceway, the SWDRA by Total Seal is back in action for the Friday/Saturday  double header Carl Trimmer Classic at USA Raceway in Tucson, AZ.  We are back in Tucson…..thanks to all who made it possible to provide the Late Model thirsty fans of Tucson what they have waited for all season!
Congratulations to Anthony Madrid on his long awaited return to Total Seal victory lane at Prescott Valley Raceway!  

 It has also been great to see some different faces in late models recently and hope this continues and we continue to see over 20 cars at each event.  We are expecting some out of state visitors for this weekends action so lets all show up and show them how the SWDRA rolls…..

Let’s come out and show Benji and Kevin and the fans at USA Raceway our support and put on another great night of racing as has become expected from the SWDRA in 2010!!
Ricky Thornton Jr. is again coming into USA Raceway as the points leader of the SWDRA by Total Seal, however the points lead continues to be very slim with only 2 double header race weekends remaining. 
Looking forward to great races and best of luck to all!

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.
