COMP Cams Interstate Cup Sprint Car Series Back with Changes for 2013

Memphis, Tennessee (02/28/12) – After seeing the COMP Cams Interstate Cup presented by Dixon Road U-Pull-It come down to the final corner of the final lap of the final event in 2012 the miniseries is back for its third year in 2013. I-30 Speedway (Little Rock, Arkansas) and Riverside International Speedway (West Memphis, Arkansas) have teamed up to once again offer a bonus program for Sprint Car teams in the Mid-South area, and it's again being tabbed as the COMP Cams Interstate Cup presented by Dixon Road U-Pull-It. Joe Clay Jr., owner of Dixon Road U-Pull-It in Little Rock, Arkansas, has contributed $4,100 to the point’s fund to bring it to a total payout of at least $8,200.

The COMP Cams Interstate Cup presented by Dixon Road U-Pull-It was created in 2011 to reward drivers for competing at both tracks. A.G. Rains claimed the title in 2011 and 2012 and is expected to go for his third title in 2013. For 2013 the tracks have once again coincided their schedule to not run Winged 360 c.i. Sprint Cars on the same night to further their cooperation. Each weekly racing series point’s event at each track will count toward a driver's point total in the program. Any special event does not count as a point's event for the series.

A change for the 2013 program is that drivers have no restrictions on how many races they can miss at each facility to still be eligible for the season-ending point's money. In past year's drivers could only miss one event per facility and still be eligible. Points acquired in all series races will count toward the final total.

In addition the final payout for the series has been restructured to pay ten places.

The minimum payout for the final COMP Cams Interstate Cup presented by Dixon Road U-Pull-It will be the following: 1)$2,000 2)$1,500 3)$1,000 4)$800 5)$700 6)$600 7)$500 8)$450 9)$350 10)$300 and as more sponsors are secured the payout may be increased.

COMP Cams has also posted the following contingency prizes for the top five:
1st - $1000 COMP Cams Gift Certificate PLUS Trophy Cup
2nd - $750 COMP Cams Gift Certificate
3rd - $500 COMP Cams Gift Certificate
4th - $250 COMP Cams Gift Certificate
5th - $125 COMP Cams Gift Certificate

In addition to money and contingencies, the program will reward provisionals. The driver, highest in the final top ten standings in the point's program, who doesn't qualify for the 6th Annual Ralph Henson Memorial on Saturday, September 28th at I-30 Speedway will get a provisional starting spot in the main event. Similarly the driver highest in the top ten in the final points (who didn't use a provisional at the Ralph Henson Memorial), who doesn't qualify for the Fall Nationals at Riverside International Speedway on Saturday, October 5th will get a provisional starting spot for the main event.

Race fans can also donate money to the point's fund if they so choose. For a $100 donation, a race fan can be the title sponsor on a Sprint Car Weekly Racing Series Event at either track, and 100% of that money will go into the point's fund. For more information on sponsoring an event contact Ben Shelton at 901-335-3037 or MSRMafia@gmail.com .

The first event in the series will be on Saturday, March 16th at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Arkansas.
