Tickets will be available at 4 p.m. today for the Summer Sizzler event to be held at Riverside International Speedway on August 21. Click here to purchase.
The show will feature the Wilson Equipment Twin 75s for the East Coast International Pro Stock Tour along with the Henry’s AUTOPRO 75 for the NAPA Sportsman series. Both races are qualifiers for September’s IWK 250 weekend. The winner of each division’s feature race on August 21 plus one other determined by random draw will be guaranteed coveted starting spots in their races on the 250 weekend.
Besides the features on August 21, both divisions have heat races to determine starting orders for their features. The Wilson Equipment Twin 75s will see the field paused at 1/2-way when a spin of a wheel will decide how many, if any, of the top 10 runners will be inverted to start lap 75. Championship points and race results will be based on the order the cars cross the finish line at lap 150.
Racing starts at 4 p.m. on August 21; the grandstand gates will open at 2 p.m.
