“What this series is really aimed at is boosting car counts in the division and putting on good shows for the fans,” explained Tour Director Matt Kvacik. “Maybe this will help get more drivers to move up from other classes to the Stock Car division.”
Kvacik, partners with Justin Hopp in the Dirt Track Central website, promoted the Kansas Stock Car Shootout in May of 2011.
“We’ve enjoyed the Stock Car class for years and I believe this series is another way we can promote weekly racing,” he explained.
IMCA Speedway Motors Weekly Racing National, Arnold Motor Supply Northern Region, Allstar Performance State, special series and, where applicable, local track points will be awarded at all events.
There is a $10 draw fee at each series race. Contingencies will be given each evening. Questions about the series can be directed to Kvacik at 816 500-7564.
