As the Buckeye Machine BOSS championship battle nears the halfway point, the stars and cars of the tour head back into Pennsylvania for a doubleheader weekend. Friday night will find the wingless warriors battling on the historic 4/10 mile Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania. On Saturday, the tour will make history once again as they attack America's Motorsports Park in Clearfield, Pennsylvania. This will mark the first time wingless sprint cars have ever run at the 1/4 mile semi banked facility.
On Saturday night, the drivers will get their first look at America's Motorsports Park. This quarter mile first opened in 1992 and operated in the past under the names Hidden Valley Speedway and Gambler's Speedway. Sprint car owner/driver Jeff Taylor is now in his second season at AMP and he is excited for the first ever appearance of non wing sprint cars at his facility. The small bullring should prove to be a great equalizer especially considering it is neutral ground for tour regulars. Many of the tracks 305 competitors are expected to try their luck running wingless and they will have the home track advantage.
For teams planning to make the weekend trip, gates at Lernerville open at 5 pm. At AMP gates will be open all day for the traveling teams.
