Energy Western World Qualifying Nights Unveiled |
|
Tucson,
Arizona (November 10th, 2009) -As much of the nation
goes into hibernation in anticipation for the cold
weather, the tension continues to build as the kickoff
of The 42nd Annual KRONIK Energy Western World
Ch.ampionships Presented by Old Tucson Studios is just a
week away.
With more than 100 entries from 18 states as well as
Canada already filed for the event set for November
19th-21st at Tucson's USA Raceway, The qualifying nights
have been determined.
The stellar field, including five former Western World
champions and numerous track and series champions from
throughout the country, has been split into two nights.
The Lucas Oil National ASCS Sprint Car contenders and
the Discount Tire ASCS wingless warriors will be split
with half of each field running on Thursday night and
the other half on Friday night. The top eight national
finishers from each night's main events will be locked
into Saturday night's $15k to win championship feature
while the top seven from each night's Discount Tire
Canyon Region feature's will make up the first seven
rows of the $5k to win wingless championship feature.
The balance of Saturday's feature lineups will be
determined by qualifying night finishing positions.
A glance at each night's
qualifying lineups is as follows:
Thursday
November 19th - Old Tucson Studios Qualifying Night

grand style as Lucas Oil ASCS National Point leader
