HOLLY, Mich. — The Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts.com is preparing for the biggest weekend of its 16-year existence when the 410-winged asphalt sprint car series visits the Gulf Coast Region October 2-4.
The series will kick off the Southern Shootout October 3 at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Fla., for the first time in 11 seasons.
The following evening the series will head north to Montgomery (Ala.) Motor Speedway for the first time since 2021.
Teams will be battling it out for a $10,000 winner’s share from a total purse of $31,000 each night. These events will pay $700 to start the 24-car starting field each night. This will be the richest weekend in the history of the series that inaugurated in 2010. A total weekend purse of over $62,000 will be up for grabs.
In addition to Must See Racing regulars, the event is expected to draw teams from the Florida based Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series and the new Alabama/Mississippi Sprint Car group.
The Gulf Coast area isn’t new to Must See Racing. From 2012-14 the series annually visited he area with stops at Five Flags and Mobile, Ala. It returned to the area with a weekend visit to Montgomery in 2021.
Aaron Pierce was victorious the last time the series visited Five Flags Speedway on April 11, 2014. Troy DeCaire and Joe Liguori found victory lane the last time the series competed at Montgomery Motor Speedway in October of 2021.
It is only fitting that the 2025 MSR season will conclude at two of the most historic venues in the southern part of the country. It will also be a rare opportunity to watch winged pavement sprint cars compete on half-mile venues, which has been a rare occurrence lately.
Five Flags Speedway opened in 1953 and is the home of the annual Snowball Derby Super Late Model race. Montgomery Motor Speedway opened in 1955 and hosted numerous NASCAR Grand National events in the early years of its history.
Joe Liguori looks to close out the 2025 MSR season with another MSR championship. He holds a commanding 64-point lead over Ryan Litt. Kevin Mingus is third, 41 points behind Litt.
