Must See Racing Presented by Perfit-Parts officials announced the 410 national sprint car series will return to a pair of southern race tracks later this season.
5 Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Fla., and Alabama’s Montgomery Motor Speedway will host the series on consecutive nights Oct. 3-4. Each night will pay $10,000 to win the feature event.
Must See Racing competed at 5 Flags Speedway from 2012-2014. Economics and a desire by teams to travel less saw the highly successful events come to an end after 2014. Must See Racing has competed at Montgomery Motor Speedway as recently as 2021.
With a $10,000 winner’s share, and $700 to start on tap each night, a strong field of cars is expected.
With the announcement of these events, it will ensure that this will be the richest weekend of pavement sprint car racing the Panhandle has ever witnessed.
“Our fans have been clamoring for a winged sprint car race for the last several years,” explained 5 Flags Speedway General Manager Tim Bryant. “They love the cars, and the track is wicked fast. We went through a period where it was a challenge to get healthy car counts in recent years. There seems to be a resurgence in winged pavement sprint car racing. We’re excited to welcome Jim Hanks and his Must See Racing series back here at 5 Flags”
“We’ve been talking to Jim Hanks on and off for the past couple of years,” stated Montgomery Motor Speedway General Manager Stan Narrison. “We could never come up with a date that worked. Jim Hanks has done a really great job of securing a little bit of sponsorship. We’ve stepped up on our end to bring a good sprint car show to this area. We’re excited about having them here and the $10,000 to win. We know it’s a long way to travel for teams, but they’re competing at two great race tracks, and they’ll be running for some good money.”
