“Its been a busy off-season but we are ready to go” said F.A.S.T. series promoter, Rich Farmer, “We are more than excited to promote another season of F.A.S.T. action in our area…we have some of the most talented local ‘305’ and ‘410’ sprint car teams in the country and having something like F.A.S.T. to reward them is really special…we want to give our local teams an extra incentive to race with us weekly…hopefully the weather cooperates and we can get our opening weekend in the books trouble free.”
