PRA Big Car Series |
|
The PRA Big Car Series (formerly the sprint-car-like USAC Silver Crown Cars)
will conclude its successful 2006 season with a 100-lap event at USA
International Speedway in Lakeland, Fla., on Wednesday, December 13. The All
Star Modified Challenge will serve as a support event and is expected to draw
entries from the USA Modified Tour, American Modified Series and FASCAR series.
This exciting double header event at USA International Speedway will be some of the premier racing action during PRI week, to be raced in front of top racing industry officials as well as a slew of NASCAR Nextel Cup Stars. The headlining race will be the first ever running of the PRA Big Car Series (formerly the sprint-car-like USAC Silver Crown Cars) in the PRA Big Car Championship 100. Nextel Cup Stars who have either participated in PRA Big Car races this year or have indicated their likely participation in the USA Speedway event include: Carl Edwards, Ryan Newman, Tony Stewart, Ken Schrader, Kasey Kahne, and a few other surprises! Plus, officials just received an entry from X-Games Mega Star Travis Pastrana, who will make his first ever start in an open wheel car of this kind. The PRA Big Car Series consists of the cars previously used in the USAC Silver Crown Series. Heading into the season finale, former Indy 500 participant and open wheel standout Chet Fillip is the championship leader ahead of seven-time Little 500 champion Eric Gordon. Other drivers currently in the top five include A.J. Fike, Dave Darland and Ron Gregory. Modified drivers from all over the country have been invited to take part in the FASCAR vs. The World All-Star Modified Challenge. This 50-lap race is the opportunity to take the crown jewel of modified racing in front of the top industry crowd anywhere, and claim bragging rights for a year. For modified teams outside of Florida, there are bonus programs in place for USA, AMS and other non-Florida teams. On Wednesday, December 13, practice will begin at 2 p.m. with qualifying slated for 4:30. An autograph session will take place at 6:30 with the PRA Championship 100 going green at 8. The Modified All-Star Challenge 50 will follow the PRA event. Adult grandstand tickets are $25 on the backstretch and $30 on the frontstretch. Children 10 and under are $10. Modified entry forms, rules, and a schedule of activities can all be found usaspeedway.com, usamodifieds.com, fascar.org, or shadybowl.com/ams.
