DAYTONA BEACH, FL (Thursday, January 14, 2010) – John Sarppriacone says he isn’t 100% yet but from the sound of his voice, he is ready to get his 2010 season ready at Desoto Super Speedway. This includes renewing his track as an ASA Member Track for the 2010 season.

Sarppriacone, Desoto Super Speedway Promoter, is still recovering from a recent quadruple bypass surgery and he says that he is feeling better every day and he is keeping himself busy planning for the 2010. One of the things he had to do was renew his ASA Member Track membership. When asked if this was a tough answer, he gave a quick and pointed answer, “No, it was very easy.”

He cited many different reasons to renew, “ASA works very well with us and the insurance they provide is great,” Sarppriacone said. “Dennis Huth (ASA President) gets on board and helps out where ever he can with the tracks. This was one of my easiest decisions to make.”

Like any other short track in the country, Desoto Super Speedway, an 3/8-mile asphalt oval, is doing what they can to make through each season, “2008 and 2009 were very tough for us, so our goal for this season is to survive make it through and hope things get stronger,” Sarppriacone explained.

Desoto will have some big events coming up this season including their Icebreaker on February 20th, Crash & Bash on July 4th, Seafest on October 16th, and the New Years Eve Crash & Bash on December 31st.

“John and his group at Desoto Super Speedway are great to work with and we are proud to have them as an ASA Member Track,” Dennis Huth, ASA President said. “We look forward to continuing our relationship with the management, competitors and fans.”
