Top Gun Sprint Series officials today released their 2011 tour schedule, which marks the most comprehensive schedule for the touring series.
“2010 was a great year for the Top Gun Sprint Series,” said Top Gun Sprint Series President Don Rehm. “The series traveled all over the state of Florida, we had the best dirt drivers in the state competing for a championship that once again went down to the very last race, so we’re looking for great things in 2011. To that end, we’ve added more dates at Hendry County Motorsports Park and also we’ve added a date at the newly re-opened Putnam County Speedway that we are very excited about.”
Widely recognized as the premier dirt sprint car series in the state of Florida, Tim George and Ryan Partin battled all season, with Tim winning the 2010 championship by only 18 points, and both are expected to return in 2011. The Top Gun Sprint Series had 58 different teams earn points in the 2010 season. The complete schedule will be released very soon.
“We’ve had talks with a lot of drivers that haven’t run with us before that are looking to go with the Top Gun Sprint Series for 2011, so we should definitely see increased car counts across the board,” continued Rehm. “We’re also welcoming some new contingency sponsors like K&N Filters that see the value in working with us, so we’re very excited about 2011.”
