The All Stars enter the 2006 season with a new attitude on an age old philosophy – you must race to get paid. The All Star series is not interested in driver contracts, signing bonuses, or show-up money. The All Stars are the weekend warriors with day jobs who cannot travel cross-country full time, yet have the talent and the drive to compete with the best of the best on any given night. This is what has made this “America’s Series”. The names may change, but the competition still remains fierce year after year.
The All Stars welcome all drivers, regardless of affiliation, to show up and compete for the prize money. We welcome all fans to come out and see some of the best 410 sprint car racing in the land. There is one thing that has rung true since the series was formed – you never know who is going to win an All Star race. The 2006 season will be no different.
