TULSA,
Okla. (May 4, 2008) - Creek County Speedway will be
the site of a sprint car double header on Saturday when the
OCRS sprints return for the first ever wing/non-wing points
show.
Racing fans will see two complete sprint shows with added
money and double points on the line.
The OCRS sanctioned event will start with the sprinters
running a complete show of heats and features with their win
wings on. The sprint teams then will head to the pits to
remove their wings in preparation to run another complete
show, this time without wings.
Drivers will re-draw for the second set of heat races and
each feature event will be lined up by passing points earned
in the heat races. Each show will count toward OCRS points
which means the night will count as two complete shows. The
winged portion of the show will also count toward Creek
County Speedway points.
The points earned from the two A features will be combined
to determine an overall finish. The overall winner will earn
$1,700. The race will pay $400 to start and $125 to
non-qualifiers. The payoff is as follows:
1,700, 1,000, 800, 700, 600, 500, 400
(7-20). Non-qualifiers earn $125. In case of a tie in the
overall finish the passing points earned in the two features
will be added together as a tie breaker. If a tie still
exists then the prize money for the two spots in question
will be added together and split.
For many drivers it will be their first
time running without wings. Racing without the down force of
the wings puts a premium on driver experience to control the
car. Fans will see the sprinters get more sideways in the
corners without the force of the wings.
Super stocks, mini stocks and front wheel
drive classes will be racing for weekly points along with
the OCRS sprints. Race time is 7 p.m.
