Wingless Short Track Nationals Rapidly Approaching at I-30 Speedway – Driver Entry Forms Available!

Lonnie Wheatley, LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (February 16, 2022) – “Hammer Hill” brings the 2022 racing season to life in a big way with the upcoming Second Annual Wingless Short Track Nationals presented by KNP Painting atop the high-banked, ¼-mile I-30 Speedway clay oval on March 4-5.

Featuring the ASCS Elite Non-Wing Sprint Cars, two full nights of heats and feature events offers up a $1,000 winner’s share for the Friday preliminary feature and then $5,000-to-win and $500 to start in Saturday’s Wingless STN championship finale.

Driver entry forms are available at https://i-30speedway.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/I-30-Wingless-STN-2022-Entry-Form.pdf. The $100 entry fee submitted by March 1 includes driver pit pass for both nights.

In operation for six full decades, the storied I-30 Speedway presented the Inaugural Wingless Short Track Nationals last August and the event lived up to the hype. Reigning ASCS Elite Non-Wing champion Justin Zimmerman of Athens, TX, edged I-30 Speedway ace Cody Gardner in a photo finish prelim feature before Fort Worth’s Keith Martin took command midway through the 30-lap finale to take the Inaugural event hardware back to the Lone Star state.

This year will offer up more of the same “traditional” Sprint Car action with the ASCS Elite Non-Wing Sprint Car series that competes under an open engine package. Last year’s preliminary included a podium with a 410-ci engine, a 360-ci powerplant as well as a 305-ci contender.

General admission to the event is just $10 on Friday night and $20 on Saturday night. Factory Stocks will be in action both nights as well. Pit passes are $30 each night.
