LAKELAND, Fla. — The BG Products Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series has revealed its schedule for next season.
Keeping with a familiar theme, the series announced next year’s schedule earlier than most to give teams plenty of time to plan their season and secure possible sponsorship. The series is set to embark on its 10th season.Â
The schedule features 15 dates at Auburndale and Citrus County Speedway’s. Citrus County Speedway will host the series on eight occasions while Auburndale is set to host the series on seven occasions. All events will be 40-lap winged events except for a couple special events.
The 10th anniversary season will kick off Feb. 1, 2025, at Citrus County Speedway in Inverness, Florida and conclude Dec. 13, 2025, at the same venue.
The schedule includes a couple of crown jewel events. The 4th annual Sandi DeCaire Classic 41 returns to Citrus County Speedway on Nov. 8.
A multi-day co-sanctioned event with the Must See Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts returns and moves to Auburndale Speedway on March 15, 2025. The initial co-sanction between the two series early this year proved popular and both series have made an agreement for the cooperation to continue next year.Â
Details and purse format for this special event will be announced shortly. It is expected to be an epic North / South Shootout event much like it was in the spring, bringing MSR’s national drivers to battle the sunshine state drivers for ultimate bragging rights.
In the eight seasons contested so far, John Inman is the only driver to have won the series championship more than once. The series has become one of the most competitive pavement sprint car series in the country. Other champions in series history include Dave Steele, Johnny Gilbertson, Troy DeCaire, Sport Allen, Davey Hamilton Jr. and Daniel Miller.
