ASCS Sprint Car Warriors Invade Golden Triangle Raceway Park

BEAUMONT, Texas – 2009, a new year, a new racing season, and a new name and facelift to an existing track that has proven to be one of the most popular in dirt racing, not to mention the ASCS Gulf South Regional Tour. Formerly Motorama Speedway, the renovated Golden Triangle Raceway Park will play host to one of the most exciting Sprint Car shows to hit Southeast Texas in over fifteen years!

The O’Reilly ASCS (American Sprint Car Series) is the nation’s premier sprint car sanctioning body and host one of the best shows on dirt when talking about the winged warriors. Top drivers from around the country have pre-registered and confirmed their spots for the February 29th Prelude to the Gulf Coast Nationals. Notable drivers such as Gary Wight, Terry Gray, Jason Johnson, Wayne Johnson, Gary Lee Maier, Don Droud, Jr., Brandon Berryman, Ray Allen Kulhanek, local favorite Gary Watson, Skip Wilson, Chris Sweeney, Kevin Ramey, Lane Whittington, and Travis Rilat, will bring their open wheel animals to the high-banked haven just off Highway 90 for a night you will not want to miss! These drivers, hailing from as far away as Tennessee and Florida, have over 271 wins between them and will duke it out with the twenty-plus regulars on the Gulf South Tour for the $2000 to-win main event. In addition to the Sprints, the Outlaw Modifieds, Limited Modifieds and Pure Stocks will be tearing up the 3/8 mile clay oval. The action starts at 8:00 PM sharp, however come out early and watch the Hot-Lap sessions at 7:30 and get your seats for what will be the talk of the office on Monday morning!

The purpose of any event at the new Golden Triangle Raceway Park is to bring high-speed excitement to everyone in the area. The new owner, Glen Johnson, has vowed to do that while offering kids seats at just $5. For the sprint show, Spectators will be $15, Kids $5, Pit Passes $30 for Adults, $20 for 11 and under. Our weekly races will be held every Friday night from the first weekend in March through the last weekend in August. For more information, go to www.motoramaspeedway.com, or the new www.gtraceway.com.
