NASCAR Introduces 30 day license

     NASCAR Whelen All American Series officials just announced that effective July 15 they will be offering a special 30 day license for drivers or crew members wishing to compete in the NASCAR sanctioned series. 

    Priced at one half of the regular fee the license will allow a driver to compete at any NASCAR sanctioned track for a period of thirty days.  Upgrading to a full license will allow the driver to participate in the ACS $100 Guaranteed to Start program.    

ACS and Southwest Distributing are proud to support the  "Miller High Life Give a Veteran a Piece of the High Life" campaign. 16oz Miller High life tall boys will be available individually or by the 4-pack for $10. For each can tab collected Miller will donate 10 cents toward High Life experiences for returning veterans..

Coors Light "Silver Bullet" Late Models

     Officials at the Adams County Speedway are pleased to announce  the 2010 Coors Light "Silver Bullet" late models.   Miller Lite "Taste Greatness" is also the new sponsor of Victory Lane for all four classes at ACS this season.    We thank Coors, Miller, and Southwest Distributing for their support of ACS.

$100 to Start Program Announced

    Every Car  - Every Class.   

    A new program designed to welcome drivers to ACS was adopted by the officials of ACS at their most recent board meeting.  Under the program every ACS NASCAR licensed driver starting in his/her first feature event at the speedway in 2010 will be guaranteed a pay check of no less than $100.  

    Board President Tony Hardisty said, "We realize the cost of a NASCAR license can  be a hit at the start of a race season.  With the $100 to start program a driver can be guaranteed to recoup that cost with his first feature event. "

    In order to qualify for the program a driver must have a valid full season NASCAR license with ACS listed as the home track and take a green flag in the A feature race.   Each driver is eligible to collect the bonus only one time per season and no car can be used by more than two different drivers to collect the bonus during the season. 

    "Of course if your finishing position pays more than $100 - and a lot of them do - your check will be for the purse amount you actually won." Hardisty adds.

ACS Partners with Contingency Connection

    ACS has become one of forty oval tracks nationwide to participate in the Contingency Connection's awards program.  Over seventy different manufacturers and distributors of racing related items provide products and certificates good for real cash when these products are purchased.  Over $50,000 in certificates will be distributed at each participating track in 2010, with more to be awarded at the annual awards banquet.

     ACS is the only Iowa oval track participating in the program.  Other noteworthy tracks involved in 2010 include Tony Stewart's Macon Speedway in Macon, IL and I-55 Speedway  co-owned by Kenny Schrader.   Visit the Contingency Connection's web site for a list of the participating manufacturers and tracks.

Points System Amended

    NASCAR officials in Daytona recently announced a new recognition system for drivers in the support divisions at all NASCAR Whelen All American Series tracks for 2010.  Under the new system the top 100 drivers in support divisions will be recognized nationally.  In order to make the points  comparable among all tracks a standardized points system has been implemented.

     In 2010 all divisions will be awarded points on the same basis as the Division 1, or Feature Division, drivers.  Under this points system the winning car is awarded two points per NASCAR licensed driver starting the feature event, with a maximum of 40 points awarded.  Each position behind the leader is awarded 2 points less per position, with all starting drivers awarded a minimum of 2 points.

    At ACS the modifieds will be considered Division 2, pro-stock is Division 3, and hobby stock is Division 4.   Only a driver's 14 highest finishes will be used to compute their national points ranking.   The ACS General Rules have been amended to take this new points system into account.

2010 Special Events Scheduled

    Adams County Speedway officials have announced the scheduling of two big special events for the 2010 racing season.  The Lucas Oil MLRA Late Models will make a return journey to ACS on Saturday, July 3rd. Co-sanctioning of the event by the NCRA and MARS series, when coupled with an identical event at I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Nebraska the prior night, should make for one of the largest late model fields seen at ACS in years.

    Then on Saturday, August 21st the USMTS Modified series will roar back into Adams County as they battle for the $3000 winner's purse.  Top ACS modified drivers will have a chance to compete with the best modified drivers in the business on their home turf.  Past USMTS events in Corning have proven to be action packed races and we're sure that the 2010 event will be one you don't want to miss.

    Admission to both specials, as well as all the regular weekly racing action and the 2010 Tradition are included with an ACS season pass, available here.
