COAL GROVE, OH-The Rocky Top Raceway is proud to announce a three race schedule for the 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars in 2010. The popular 410 Sprints will take to the track on Saturday, May 1st, Saturday, May 29th, and Friday, August 13th.
There will be a change in the $3,000 to win show race date from what was announced on the first draft of the 2010 schedule. The $3,000 to win 410 Sprint Car show will now be on Friday, August 13th. That will move the race to a weekend where northern Ohio tracks Attica Raceway and Fremont Speedway are off along with an off weekend for the K-C Raceway. Depending on other area track schedules, the race could possibly be moved to Saturday, August 14th.
While the May 29th 410 Sprint show will not be $3,000 to win, it will still be a very special race with the first “Gene Comstock Memorial presented by EA Home Supply”. The race will pay $1,508 to win with each position in the payout ending in the number eight to commemorate Comstock’s racing number. This race will be a night to remember the career of the only Lawrence County driver to ever race in the top level of NASCAR.
May 1st will be the first 410 Sprint Car show of the year and will pay $1,500 to win. AMRA Modifieds, Bombers, and Mod Lites will join the racing program on May 1st. Support classes for the other two 410 Sprint Car shows will be announced at a later time. RTR will announce that the previously scheduled $1,000 to win AMRA Modified show on May 29th will be moved to another date and Bombers will not race on May 29th because of the Dan Reno Memorial race at K-C Raceway.
In maintaining a true “outlaw” spirit, the 410 Sprint Car shows at RTR will run under an open tire rule. Dished or Flat wings will be allowed. These rules will include any Winged Sprint Car in the country more or less. Format for the races will be evaluated and announced prior to any races. The format will either be the normal dash format or a heat race redraw format similar to what has been used in previous RTR Late Model specials.
