Fairmont
Raceway, Sports Park Raceway Pair Up for Friday Night
Lights
Officials from the Sports Park Raceway in Fort Dodge,
Iowa, and Fairmont Raceway in Fairmont, Minnesota, will
be working in tandem during the 2023 racing season to
bring Friday Night Lights to life for dirt track racing
fans.
In addition to the regular Summit USRA
Weekly Racing Series track and national points funds,
drivers racing at the two tracks this year will compete
for a bonus points fund for the top five drivers that
acquire the most points between the two historic dirt
ovals located about 90 miles apart.
Every
scheduled night at each track will count and drivers in
all divisions are competing against each other for this
extra money.
The driver who earns the most points
will pocket a $1,000 cash prize while the second-place
finisher will get $800. third place will earn $650,
fourth gets $450 and the final competitor in the top
five will add $300 to his bank account.
Using the
USRA points system, it'll work like this: Racer X
finishes third at the Sports Park Raceway on Friday and
earns 91 points. The following Friday Racer X wins at
Fairmont and garners 100 points for a total of 191
points for the two weekends. All of the points each
driver earns is combined at the end of the year for the
racers who supported both tracks.
Why are we
doing this? We've heard from some drivers that would
like to run both tracks, but since both race on Fridays
that makes things difficult. Therefore, the two tracks
will only have one night (June 2) where we overlap and
race on the same Friday night.
