HOLLY, Mich. — Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts.Com announced the series will be competing in Canada for the first time in series history when it visits Ontaio’s Delaware Speedway on August 7.
The 40-lap event will pay $10,000 to win and $700 to start. All purse monies will be paid in U.S. dollars.
This will be the first time since June 5, 2009, that winged pavement sprint cars have competed anywhere in Ontario. Mike Ling won that last event at Delaware Speedway over 16 years ago. It is only fitting that the return of winged pavement sprint cars to Ontario will be at the half-mile semi-banked Delaware Speedway.
Delaware Speedway management has a huge opportunity to host this historic MSR event and Delaware Speedway Director of Motorsports AlexNagy realizes how big this event will be.
“We’re always looking for different things for our fan base,” explains Nagy. “We try to feature a diverse cross section of different types of racing. We’ve looked at sprint car stuff on and off a little bit. We had some contact with local car owner Wade Litt. His son Ryan races for him, and they run with Must See Racing. He put us in touch with Must See Racing president Jim Hanks and we were able to put something together.
“It’s very exciting to us to be the ones to bring back these types of cars to the province. Fans haven’t seen these types of cars in a very long time. The timing was right and we are excited to bring asphalt sprint cars back to Ontario. With local content it should be a great show.
“Our fans have a pent-up demand for these cars since it’s been so long since they’ve seen them. When I spoke with Jim Hanks, I wanted to get the purse up to show everybody we’re for real here. We’re looking to make it the best show in the area.”
