National Sprint League Set for Season Debuts at Jackson Motorplex and Knoxville Raceway This Weekend

 

Inside Line Promotions – WINDOM, Minn. (May 15, 2016) – The National Sprint League returns to action this weekend as the series makes its season debut at the two tracks that are on the 2016 schedule the most.

Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn., hosts its first of nine events on Friday night when the $10,000-to-win Folkens Brothers Trucking Spring Nationals opens the season at the recently renovated half-mile track. A record 30 sprint cars will start the main event.

“Jackson Motorplex is a big enough track that we felt like starting 30 cars in the A Main would exciting for the fans as well as safe for the drivers,” National Sprint League Competition Director Chuck Zitterich said. “We have a lot of shows at Jackson Motorplex this season so we’re looking forward to kicking off the season there with a big event.”

Terry McCarl won the Folkens Brothers Trucking Spring Nationals last year at Jackson Motorplex, where Dusty Zomer and Sammy Swindell (twice) were also victorious during National Sprint League competition.

More than a dozen sprint car stars have indicated they will be racing at Jackson Motorplex this Friday, including McCarl, Austin McCarl, Brian Brown, Craig Dollansky, Ian Madsen, Davey Heskin, Lynton Jeffrey, Dakota Hendrickson, Tim Kaeding, Tasker Phillips, Chris Martin, Matt Juhl, Brooke Tatnell, Mark Dobmeier and defending series champion Danny Lasoski.

Knoxville Raceway, which is a half-mile oval in Knoxville, Iowa, welcomes the National Sprint League on Saturday for a $5,000-to-win show, which is the first of 10 events this season.
