2nd Annual COMP Cams® Grass Root Nationals Presented by MidSouthRacing.com
Wingless 305 Sprint Car & Street Stock Turnout Expected to Be Even Bigger This Year
After last year’s success, COMP Cams® and MidSouthRacing.com will once again team up to present the 2nd Annual Grass Root Nationals at the legendary Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Arkansas on Saturday, October 4th, 2008.
In 2007, the inaugural COMP Cams® Grass Root Nationals had an impressive turnout of fans and racers, with 42 Street Stocks and 25 Wingless 305 Sprint Cars. This year, the event is expected to be even bigger, with various additional sponsors and prizes.
“Last year’s event was a blast and was very successful,” says Chris Douglas, Marketing Director at COMP Cams®. “We enjoyed it so much that we had to come back. It was one of our favorite events last year, and we aim to keep it growing annually.”
The 305 Wingless Sprint Car class will be sponsored by Racing Head Service™ (RHS™), while TCI® will sponsor the Street Stock event. The feature race in both classes will pay $1,000 to win with all position payouts throughout the field doubled from their normal amounts. In both features, the Dash for Cash will include a total purse of $500, the 305 Wingless Sprint Car verion being sponsored by the Sun Dial Shirt Company and the Street Stock version by Bird Fasteners.
The 305 Wingless Sprint Car feature will be a 25 lap event, while the Street Stock feature will be 20 laps long. COMP Cams® will provide a $250 product certificate as the Hard Luck Award for the 305 Wingless Sprint Cars, while the Hard Charger of the 305 Sprint Cars will be awarded a $250 product certificate by Day Motorsports. In the Street Stock feature event, The Hard Luck Award will consist of a $250 product certificate from Holley Carburetors, and Day Motorsports will be awarding the Hard Charger of the Street Stock feature with a $250 product certificate.
The MidSouthRacing.com State Challenge will add an interesting twist to the 2008 event, where the top finishing driver from each state represented in the Street Stock division will receive a $100 bonus. There will also be a MidSouthRacing.com Mystery Position bonus in the 305 Wingless Sprint Car Feature. In order to be eligible, drivers must display participating decals.
