One Night Only: All Star 410 Sprint Cars, Thunder on the Thruway Series Saturday
VERNON, NY – One night only in Vernon, N.Y.
The lightning-fast 410 Sprint Cars invade Utica-Rome Speedway this Saturday, Aug. 19 as the Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions visit the Home of Heroes for a $10,000-to-win event presented by Scenic View Campground, Christian Fabrication, and Broedel Energy.
Angola, Ind.’s Zeb Wise leads the All Star 410 Sprint Car contingent into New York State this weekend. Wise holds an 80-point advantage in the standings over Chris Windom (Canton, Ill.) and 182 points over Aliquippa, Pa.’s Tim Shaffer.
Last August, the 410 Sprint Cars returned to Utica-Rome’s racy half-mile layout and Justin Peck picked up the 10k payday in a thriller.
The rare Saturday event features the championship round of the F.X. Caprara Car Companies Thunder on the Thruway Series for the 3 Bastards Brewing Modifieds, Worthington Industries Crate 602 Sportsman, and Next Generation GraphiX Pro Stocks.
Modifieds race 30 laps for $4,000 to win, Crate 602 Sportsman 25 laps for a $1,500 winner’s share, and Pro Stocks 20 laps with $1,000 going to the victor. All events feature a draw for heat-race starting positions with a redraw of top qualifiers.
