Apr 24, 2020 – Mountain Home, ID - We apologize for taking so long to complete the 2020 schedule. As everyone knows the Coronavirus has affected every aspect of our lives, racing included. We are working with our scheduled tracks and staying abreast of the situation in their area. As of today, April 24, 2020, indications are positive that we will run our schedule as posted. We are looking forward to the start of our season, most appropriately, on the Independence Day weekend, July 3rd – 5th, in Colorado and Wyoming. The final 3 races completing King of the Wing (KOTW) 2020 schedule will be in Tennessee, Indiana and Kentucky, September 25th – 27th. All 3 races will be co-sanctioned with the Auto Value Bumper to Bumper Super Sprint Series (AVBBSSS). The King of the Wings Sprint Cars are heading to the Music City Tennessee area for the inaugural KOTW event at Veterans Motorplex at the Rim, Friday, September 25th. The fast- high banked asphalt jungle is located only 20 minutes north of Nashville Tn. “The Country Music Capital of the world”. The track opened in 1962 as a high banked quarter mile dirt oval. For the 1970 racing season the high banked dirt oval was paved and quickly became the fastest high banked asphalt track in the region. The high banked track quickly drew the best drivers around including NASCAR Legends such as Darrell Waltrip, Bobby Hamilton, Bobby and Donnie Allison, and Red Farmer have tried to tame this beast. Country Music Royalty Marty Robbins was an avid short track racer himself when not singing on the stage at the Grand Ole Opry, Marty raced at the high banked facility when it was dirt winning his very first race ever at the 1/4 mile track. Current owner / promoter Jerry Criswell is a big fan of sprint cars and he states, “This will be the RACE OF THE YEAR at the Rim and one fans in the Middle Tennessee area that you won’t want to miss. We are honored to be hosting the first ever KOTW event at Veterans Motorplex.” The All-Time official track qualifying record is in the low 12 seconds and is held by Justin Ashworth in a Late Model. Sprint Cars have not raced an official race at Veterans Motorplex since it was reconfigured, so we look for the all-time track qualifying record to be in serious jeopardy. The KOTW drivers will be racing for a custom wrapped Guitar that will serve as the feature Winners trophy for the 40-lap event. “The KOTW series is looking forward to bringing drivers from across the United States and Canada to the fans of northern Tennessee and compete with the Auto Value Series again.” Stated KOTW Race Director. Chuck Handley. The Series will travel 3 hours north to Salem Speedway in Salem, IN, for race #2 of the weekend on Saturday night September 26th. This is also a brand-new venue for the KOTW series. The AVBBSSS competed at this facility about 10 years ago.
