UNIQUE PAYOUT FOR WINTER SHOWDOWN


UNIQUE PAYOUT FOR WINTER SHOWDOWN

 

Bakersfield, CA (February 18, 2021) – The Sixth Annual Winter Showdown at Kern County Raceway will offer a unique payout structure for the SPEARS Southwest Tour Series championship event.

 

“It’s pretty straight forward, the Winter Showdown is a 150-lap race and there will be a payout awarded at the half-way point of the race at lap 75.  The same payout will be awarded again on lap 150 at the finish,” stated the SRL’s Brian Olsen.  “It’s one race, 150 laps with championship points awarded based on the finish at lap 150.  The purse structure will ensure the racing will be competitive throughout the first 75 laps, and for sure the second 75 laps to the finish.”

 

It’s not a segment race, it’s 150 laps, but there’s a built-in incentive to race hard the first 75 laps.  At the half-time break, teams will be able to put on four Hoosier Tires, refuel and make adjustments.  Single car qualifying followed by heat races will set the field for the “Winter Showdown 150”.

 

“We don’t like gimmicks when it comes to prize money.  However, we do like incentives to keep the racing interesting, so we think we’ve come up with a pretty cool payout structure for the Winter Showdown,” added the SRL’s Larry Collins. 

 

Celebrating its “21st Season”, the SPEARS (SRL) Southwest Tour Series had a record-breaking season opening event at Irwindale Speedway with 46 entries on February 6th.

 

The Sixth Annual Winter Showdown is Saturday, March 20th at Bakersfield’s Kern County Raceway starting at 2pm.  The event will feature the SPEARS Southwest Tour Series, the Spears Manufacturing Modified Series and Super Stocks.  Two-Day Race Team Pit Passes $80, single day $50 and All Access Fan Passes will be available on Saturday starting at 11am at $30 each.  RV and Tail Gate spaces available at $300 each, includes eight Fan Passes.  Social distancing protocols will be in place.
