The Rapid Tire United States Auto Club (USAC) East Coast Wingless Sprints will be making their first-ever appearance on the one-third-mile banked clay oval.

Heading up the action will be such 360 Sprint standouts as Steve Drevicki, Eddie Strada, Alex Bright, and a host of others.
And the NASCAR stock car action will give the fans some edge of their seat action with Rick Laubach, making his first full-time Grandview title effort, looking to overtake Craig Von Dohren in the championship chase.
