ASCS Patriots Enters Postseason as Part of Black Rock’s Fall Sprint Nationals
Rich Vleck, TULSA, Okla. (September 7, 2010) - The ASCS Patriots have completed the full-point races for the 2010 season and now the teams are able to not worry about points and focus on challenging a slew of top competitors from around the Northeast, which starts this weekend.
The ASCS Patriots will be a sanctioning body for Black Rock’s Fall Sprint Nationals, taking place this Friday and Saturday, September 10 and 11. With $5,000 going to Saturday’s 30-lap A-Main winner, this is New York State’s highest-paying race of this year.
The Patriots will co-sanction the two nights of action with the Ohio-based National Racing Alliance and Ohsweken’s Corr/Pak Sprints. The ASCS Sprints on Dirt will also support the Saturday portion. The Patriots will be running both nights for show-up points.
Each night will be run with very different formats. On Friday, each competitor will run two heat races which will set their spot for one of three “Triple Sweet 16” Features. The winner of each of these 16-lap events will be locked in to Saturday’s A-Main in a top-12 starting spot while all others will start over on Saturday.
The Saturday portion will see time trials, followed by heat races to send drivers to dashes, the B-Main or the C-Main. The 30-lap feature will conclude the active weekend.
The Fall Nationals was run at Black Rock from 1999-2006, with the 2007 running of the event being held in May. The return of this event has brought with it much fanfare, as a busy campground has always been a highlight of this event.
ASI Racewear has produced a special t-shirt to help commemorate this weekend. They will be on sale all weekend long at the track.
All of the Patriot regulars will be on hand, including Bryan Howland, the August winner, who will officially lock up his fourth series title and second A-Verdi King of Upstate New York by showing up this weekend.
More information on competitors that will be on hand in Dundee can be found in the ABC’s of Black Rock’s Fall Sprint Nationals.
Racing action at Black Rock will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Friday and at 6:00 on Saturday. For more information, visit www.ASCSpatriotsprints.com or www.ASCSracing.com.
