BUBBA ARMY SPRINT NATIONALS RETURN TO THE SUNSHINE STATE!

The USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car Series opens the 2011 season February 16-19 at America’s Dirt Track – Ocala Speedway in Ocala, Florida. The 2nd Annual “Bubby Army Sprint Nationals” marks the debut of USAC racing at the 3/8-mile dirt oval and will be part of the grand week of racing leading up to the 2011 Daytona 500, scheduled February 20 at Daytona International Speedway.

“Florida is a great place to be in February and we are all looking forward to the 2nd Annual “Bubba Army Sprint Nationals,” says USAC President/CEO Kevin Miller. Last year’s events were extremely popular and the area obviously offers many tourist attractions and vacation destinations. We expect and encourage campers who plan to take in the entire week of activity.”

Ocala Speedway is Florida’s oldest race track and its D-shape gives it a unique quality. Drivers often relate: “If you can win a race at Ocala, you can win anywhere.”

A total of 59 USAC races have been held in the Sunshine State, dating all the way back to February of 1956 when defending Indianapolis 500 champion Bob Sweikert won a 20-lap Sprint car race at Southland Speedway in West Palm Beach.

Damion Gardner opened the 2009 series with victories at East Bay Raceway in Gibsonton, marking the first time USAC Sprint cars had raced on Florida dirt since Rich Vogler’s 1987 victory at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa.

Gardner is expected to be among top threats for the series championship in 2011, along with 2010 point leader and three-time series king Levi Jones who races for USAC Triple Crown Champion and NASCAR star Tony Stewart.

Special events throughout the four days at Ocala are scheduled for campers and families who will be attending.

More details will be released on this exciting week of racing as they become available.

warm southeastern part of the United States for another All Star Circuit of
Champions Winter Nationals.

For the first time in the history of the series, the drivers will take to
the three-eighth mile Screven Motor Speedway in Sylvania, Ga. Tim Shaffer,

which normally features full-fender racing from February to November. The
first event of the 2011 southern swing is scheduled for Thursday night
February 3rd. The feature on this night pays $10,000 to the winner.

Then the All Star Circuit of Champions will return to Ocala Speedway in
Ocala, Fl, on Feb. 4 and 5. It will mark the third straight year the All
Stars will race at the three-eighths mile oval, which kicks off the 28th

to action for their yearly stop at the Volusia Speedway Park in
Barberville, Fl., as part of the 40th Annual DIRTcar Nationals. On
Wednesday night action heats up with a $4,000 to win event and then one
night later on February 10 the Sprint Car feature will pay $5,000.

I'm new to LM racing so pardon me for not knowing..but why is there 5 nights of racing at EastBay? Not complaining but just curious..do they typically have a big field of cars for that race?

[DannyB]

Penske, sir or madame, I'd recommend that you find a message board that leans more toward LM's than this one. Not that we don't like LM's, but most of us keep up with them as well as sprints, etc. Try 4m.net.

And now from Florence Speedway, just east of here.


2011 Major Event dates set:
Speedway officials are pleased to announce some of our key 2011 dates. Our season will start out with our Annual Spring 50. The 35th running of the event will be held on March 19th. Also announced is our 25th annual Ralph Latham Memorial of June 4th. And lastly, the biggest of them all will be our 29th Annual Sunoco Race Fuels North/South 100 presented by Lucas Oil on August 11th-13th. Our complete schedule should be released sometime in January.

USAC Returns to Action Packed IndyCar Event at Milwaukee Mile in 2011

Indianapolis, Indiana, December 6, 2010 – USAC racing returns to the Milwaukee Mile on Father's Day 2011. The Silver Crown Championship and Mopar National Midget Series will cap Saturday race and IndyCar qualifying action on the IZOD IndyCar Series weekend, June 18-19, 2011.

The USAC Mopar Quarter Midgets will also compete on a temporary track that will be constructed in the Fan Interactive Zone west of the grandstand.

Drivers from across America are expected to compete in the Quarter Midget events, which will be streamed live on usacracing.com.

Chris McGrath, CEO of event promoter AB Promotions: “With seven series of racing over two days, the Father's Day event at Milwaukee features more racing than any other event on the IZOD IndyCar schedule, and Milwaukee is the only place that fans can see every single series on the Road to Indy. We are excited to have the stars of today and tomorrow at our event.”

“The Milwaukee Mile has been the site of historic USAC racing since the inception of USAC in 1956,” says USAC President/CEO Kevin Miller. “Our participants have always enjoyed competing at this marquee facility, and we are more than delighted to be able to return there after a five-year hiatus. We anticipate some of the most intense competition of the year in what certainly will be memorable races for Midwestern race fans.”

The last appearance of the USAC Silver Crown and Midget series at Milwaukee was in 2006 when Bobby Santos III (Midget) and Wayne Reutimann (Silver Crown) sped to victory. Santos holds the existing track qualifying record for Midgets, set in 2006 at 128.576 mph. Dave Steele posted the 1-lap Silver Crown qualifying record of 129.459 mph during qualifying in 2005.
