he time has arrived that all of our local fans and racers have been waiting for since the middle of December. It’s time to kick off the 2015 racing season at Five Flags Speedway, and we don’t want anyone to expect a boring, dull season opener. Tonight we are going to kick the door wide open with the “KING OF THE WINGS” Sprint Cars.

aybe you are wondering about the new series of sprints called King of the Wings. Let me give you a little insight on Davey Hamilton’s new National Tour Series. If Hamilton’s name seems to ring a bell, that’s because you have probably heard it if you have ever watched the Indy 500. He has run in several 500’s with some great finishes. He decided to form a new Sprint Car Series and do it on a national basis. That means his series will run in all 4 corners of the U.S. and Canada. See story by Chuck Corder inside on Hamilton.
