HERE ARE COMPLETE MARCH 3rd SPRINT SMACKDOWN EVENT DETAILS:
Kilgore, TX (02/26/18) by DarinShort.com. The 70' wide expanses of LoneStar Speedway hosted several phenomenal racing events in 2017. Nightly there was side-by-side racing, drivers coming from the back to win, wild finishes - and the new 2018 season fires up THIS WEEK, Saturday night, MARCH 3rd at 6pm, when fans will be treated to a huge night of racing: the 4th Annual SPRINT SMACKDOWN and LONESTAR SPEEDWAY SEASON POINTS OPENER, featuring added purses in all divisions.
The 2017 edition of the event drew a fantastic crowd and a jammed pit area with 27 Winged Sprint Cars, 22 Outlaw Modifieds, 36 Factory Stocks, 22 Limited Modiifeds and 19 Front Wheel Drive 4-Cylinders.
Action fires off Saturday MARCH 3rd at 6PM. (The sun goes down at 6:14pm, which will coincide perfectly.)
