Sportsman's Speedway is pleased to announce Sprint Cars will return for the 2008 season. The driver and fan support for the winged machines was pleasing during the brief 2007 season, so the decision was easy to add them to the weekly line up. Rules and purses will be available once all divisions are set.
The Sprints had an average car count of 18 in 2007 with a high of 24 cars on September 2. Each race went down to the wire with action throughout the field.
Fairmont City, PA's Skip Daugherty returned to competition in 2007 after learning of the re-opening of Sportsman's Speedway. Daugherty treated his wife to an anniversary win on opening night, August 26.
One of the local favorites from nearby Strattanville is Andy McKisson. McKisson competed at the Knox oval for several season in the micro sprint ranks before moving to the 410 Sprint division. He picked up his first win at the track on September 2.
Gale Ruth Jr had a breakout season in 2007. The Titusville, PA driver picked up his first career win at Mercer on July 28 during the "Triple 15" events, then closed out his season with back to back wins at Sportsman's on September 16 and 23.
With drivers from PA, NY, OH, NJ, and as far as IL in attendance in 2007, the 2008 season is already shaping up to provide plenty of action packed open wheel competition.
The second division will be announced next week. A 2008 schedule is still in the works as well. All official updates and announcements will be made, as always, at the Sportsman's Speedway website at www.sportsmans-speedway.com.
