Lucas Oil
American Sprint
Car Series
Sets 48 Dates in
2023
Bryan
Hulbert –
DRUMRIGHT, Okla.
(December 8,
2022)
Ready to dive
into the 32nd
season of
touring, the
Lucas Oil
American Sprint
Car Series is
set for a
48-night run in
2023 that will
see the tour at
28 facilities
across ten
states.
Similar to the
2022 layout, the
increase in car
counts, and the
ability for
nearly all teams
that started the
season able to
finish, series
owner Terry
Mattox will
again keep that
formula in play
while adding new
high-paying
dates and
focusing on
weekend events.
“It’s the
formula that
built ASCS
during the early
2000s, and it
brought teams
out that
otherwise would
have never
considered
running the
National Tour,”
commented Mattox
of the 2022
season.
“When I was
talking with
teams at the end
of the season, I
got a lot of
good feedback
and suggestions
on what they
wanted to see
schedule-wise,
and one of those
was keeping the
races more
focused on the
weekends and
limiting the
number of
mid-week events
we run, and I
feel like the
2023 schedule
accomplishes
that.”
With familiar
favorites like
the Devil’s
Bowl, Creek
County,
Knoxville, Lucas
Oil Speedway,
and more dotting
the schedule,
the 2023 lineup
will also see
the addition of
five new
facilities.
First on the
list of new
stops is Rocket
Raceway Park in
Petty, Texas. On
the lineup in
2022, tires and
mother nature
kept the series
at bay. Shelby
County Speedway
in Harlan, Iowa,
features a
one-third-mile
oval and would
be the ninth
Iowa oval to
host the tour.
A highly
requested track
over the years
is Rush County
“Bullring”
Speedway in La
Crosse,
Kan. Living up
the hype during
URSS events over
the year, the
Lucas Oil
American Sprint
Car Series will
rank among the
largest events
to roll into the
five-sixteenths-mile
oval.
Completely
redone from its
former Flint
Creek Speedway
days, the track
that now sits in
Colcord, Okla.,
is Arrowhead
Speedway.
Another track
that was set to
see action in
2022, the new
owners pushed
back the opening
of the track in
order to make
sure the
facility was
ready. Paired
with another new
oval, the
three-eighths-mile
Longdale
Speedway sits
just the other
side of
Stillwater and
will return to
life in 2023
with several
special events
dotting their
schedule.
With new tracks
on the lineup,
returning tracks
cannot be
overlooked.
Formerly
Randolph County
Raceway, the
ultra-high-banked
Missouri oval
has a new lease
on life and a
new name;
Moberly
Motorsports
Park. Last on
the lineup in
2012, Dodge City
Raceway Park
returns with a
pair of nights
in July.
A couple of
dates are still
in the works as
Mattox looks to
secure a couple
more venues in
addition to
dates marked at
TBA. The 2023
season will
again see a
season-ending
payout of
$50,000 to the
champion.
Nightly payout
and appearance
money will stay
the same for the
2023 season.
Full payout for
weekend events
is available
at http://www.ascsracing.com.
Major events on
the 2023 lineup
include the
Capital City
Clash at Jackson
Motor Speedway
($15,000 to
win), the Mickey
Walker Memorial
($5,000 to win),
West Kansas
Showdown at
WaKeeney
Speedway ($5,000
to win),
Knoxville 360
Nationals
($15,000 to
win),
Hockett/McMillin
Memorial
($10,000 to
win), and the
COMP Cams Short
Track Nationals,
which will have
a venue
announced soon.
Other events
will be
announced as the
season nears.
Terry Mattox
will again be at
the helm of the
American Sprint
Car Series.
Questions on the
tour can be
directed at him
by calling (918)
417-0624 or
email
terry@ascsracing.com.
The 2023 season
will mark the
32nd year of
competition for
the American
Sprint Car
Series.
Spearheaded by
the Lucas Oil
American Sprint
Car Series
presented by the
MAVTV
Motorsports
Network, the
ASCS Nation
includes
Regional Tours
that encompass
both wing and
non-wing
competition.
When making it
to the track is
not an option,
the series can
be found on http://www.floracing.com,
and is included
in the
platform’s $150
a year
subscription
plan.
