Exciting 2014 LoneStar Season Set; Schedule/Payback Revealed


Kilgore TX (1/3/14) by DarinShort.com. Coming off an exciting 2013 season that saw over 300 drivers competing in the three LoneStar Speedway (LSS) points divisions, today, the 2014 racing season preview is available for fans and teams alike.

The speedway also boasts one of the best paying purses and driver point funds in the region. There are 12 weekends of points races scheduled in 2014, and once again, drivers will be competing for a minimum of a $10,000 point’s fund. In 2013, a total of $13,000 cash was paid out in the driver’s award banquet for the three LoneStar points divisions, which are Modified, Factory Stocks and Limited Modifieds.

Unless otherwise noted, the following purse breakdown will be in effect for the three LSS points divisions on 2014:

Modifieds: $1,000-500-400-300-200-180-160-140-120-100…through 20th. Any NQ’s will receive $50.

Limited Modifieds: $500-250-200-160-140-120-100-80-60…through 20th. Any NQ’s will receive $30.

Factory Stocks: $300-200-180-160-140-120-100-80-60-40…through 20th. Any NQ’s will receive $20.

Online driver registration is now open. To register your Modified, Factory Stock or Limited Modified for the 2014 racing season at LoneStar Speedway, please click http://www.darinshort.com/lss.html and complete the payment form.

The $30 registration fee buys your car number for the season and the money goes into the $10,000+ drivers point fund that gets distributed at the end of the season.

Car numbers from 2013 will be reserved through the March 16th practice day. You can register your car at that time too. The top registered Beginner Factory Stocks will receive jackets at the awards banquet, but not point fund money (as was the case in 2013).

There are no proposed rules changes to any of the LSS point’s divisions at this time.

The 2014 racing season is highlighted by several special events, including:

- March 28th World of Outlaws Late Model Series (reserved section tickets go on sale 1/30/14)

- SUPR Late Model Series on May 25th, July 5th, August 30th and November 29th.
