Inside Line Promotions – FINDLAY, Ohio (Jan. 8, 2015) – The Renegade Sprints will usher in a new era in 2015.
The 410ci sprint car series, which was formed last summer to create value for sponsors and promoters along with offering an affordable form of high-quality entertainment for the fans, is scheduled to compete in at least 36 events at 15 race tracks in five states this season.
“We have a few dates that we are still working on, but the majority of our schedule is complete,” Renegade Sprints President Shane Helms said. “Everyone associated with the Renegade Sprints is extremely excited with the 2015 schedule that we put together for our first full season.”
The series will debut at Atomic Speedway in Chillicothe, Ohio, on March 28 – the first of a series-high seven events at the high-banked track, including the $20,000-to-win Open Wheel Championships on May 2.
“The politics in Ohio has been very heated and we want to thank all the tracks for giving us a chance,” Helms said. “We believe it will be successful for all parties and will grow each year.”
Other tracks in Ohio that have currently booked at least one Renegade Sprints event include: Attica Raceway Park in Attica, Wayne County Speedway in Orrville, Hilltop Speedway in Millersburg, Millstream Speedway in Findlay and Brushcreek Motorsports Park in Peebles.
The Renegade Sprints will also make at least seven trips into Pennsylvania for events at Bedford Speedway in Bedford, Path Valley Speedway in Spring Run, Pittsburgh’s Pennsylvania Motor Speedway in Imperial, Selinsgrove Speedway in Selinsgrove, Big Diamond Speedway in Pottsville and Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville.
Additionally, the series will compete in Indiana at Brownstown Speedway in Brownstown; in Michigan at Hartford Speedway in Hartford; and in Illinois at Jacksonville Speedway in Jacksonville for a non-points event with the National Sprint League, Midwest Open Wheel Association and IRA Outlaw Sprint Series.
“We are working closely with the NSL to make something big happen on top of that date at Jacksonville,” Helms said.
Of the handful of dates to be determined, most are during the Renegade Week of Speed from June 18-24, when events at Attica Raceway Park, Wayne County Speedway and Atomic Speedway are scheduled.
“We’re waiting on a few tracks to come on board during that time,” Helms said. “I hope we can add a couple more new tracks, but if that doesn’t happen most of those dates will be picked up by tracks already on the schedule.”
In other news, Tri-City Raceway Park in Franklin, Pa., has committed to at least one date in 2015 and is working on a possible Western Pennsylvania Speedweek.
Additional details about new dates will be posted once they are finalized.
