If twenty cars are not registered then it will revert to one thousand and five hundred dollars ($1,500.00) to win. “We got a lot of feedback about our weekly purse and while we feel its good. We think paying $2000 to win will get us in with the elite sprint car tracks in Ohio” stated General Manager Jason Flory. “Last year nearly every night we had twenty car fields in our Sprint division. We want to give back to the drivers for supporting us and putting on great shows for our fans. We think everyone will be excited for this” Flory continued.
