\nBARBERVILLE, FL- A very busy Saturday night of racing is in store for Volusia Speedway Park this week as full throttle winged sprint car action will be on tap with the Top Gun Sprint Car Series, and the Florida Mini Sprint Association.\u00a0 In addition to the excitement of the sprint cars, fans will also get to see full blown Modified Mania from the Budweiser Modifieds, plus more fender banging thrills from the Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stocks.<\/p>\n

The Top Gun Sprint Car Series features the top 360 sprinters in the region battling for the 2010 points championship in a two night event that will begin on Friday at Ocala Speedway and continue on Saturday at Volusia Speedway Park.\u00a0 The double race weekend puts an added need to perform on racers like Ryan Partin, who currently tops the Top Gun points standings, as they have to survive Ocala’s tricky 3\/8ths mile layout and travel just over 50 miles east to VSP in order to do it all again the following day on the big half mile speedway.\u00a0 Partin’s lead is a mere two points over Tim George, so look for the two night stand this weekend to either lead to changes at the top of the heap, or to reaffirm Partin’s superiority.<\/p>\n

The Florida Mini Sprint Association touts itself as “Florida’s best kept secret” and yet by providing exciting high speed action at every track that they visit they certainly are not shy about making their secret stay a secret.\u00a0 Brett O’Donnell is at the top of the 2010 points heap and looking to stay there, but Eddie Moss Jr, and his daughter Rhea Lynn Moss, are both in hot pursuit.\u00a0 The previous visits to Volusia Speedway Park this season have resulted in flips, thrills, and close finishes, so look for more of the same this Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Back on June 5th the scheduled Budweiser Modified Mania ended up rained out by a sudden deluge, so this Saturday night will\u00a0make up\u00a0the $1200 to win event and give race fans something extra to cheer about.\u00a0 Jamie Carter still hangs onto the points lead despite Jeff Mathews closing the gap a little after last Saturday’s win, and no doubt that with the extra large check in the balance along with a possible championship, things will be extra exciting when the green flag waves this time around.<\/p>\n

And the Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stocks will be back in action this week after a weekend that saw a disqualification of the #27 car of Chad Scranton, then saw that DQ rescinded on Monday after further review of the findings, giving Scranton his decisive win back.\u00a0 Scott Mooers remains one of the top racers in his class in the nation, currently ranked in second place in the UMP DIRTcar national rankings while he holds a comfortable lead in the 2010 points standings at VSP.\u00a0 But Luke Sadler and Chad Scranton, are not impressed and are consistently\u00a0outrunning Mooers at this point in the season, leading Mooers to comment in an online post that he seriously needs to step his game up.<\/p><\/div>\n

\nVolusia Speedway Park will open the pit gate at 4PM this Saturday, with fans admitted to the grandstand area at 5:30PM.\u00a0 Racing gets underway at 7:30PM, and for info on prices, or to see the entire 2010 racing schedule, visit www.VolusiaSpeedwayPark.net<\/a>.<\/div>\n
