8th Annual Yuba City Scrap and Steel Ice Cream Night this Saturday; 
Sprinters and Slam-Bang Bombers return!!
by Bob Burbach

AUGUST 12, 2008 - Marysville CA... This Saturday night Paul and Kathy Hawes will host the MRP Winged Sprint Cars and the remarkable Wingless Warriors of the MRP Wingless Sprint Car division as headliners for the 8th Annual Yuba City Scrap and Steel Ice Cream Night. The show also includes the highly competitive MRP Mini Stocks, the Nor Cal Dwarf Cars and the return of the outrageous antics of the metal crunching EXTREME BOMBERS.

In addition to the rip-roaring, slam-bang show on the track, Richard Lovell, long time sprint car owner and nominee for the Northern California Professional Sports Hall of Fame will provide thousands of servings of ice cream for everyone in attendance. 

Lovell, who has fielded cars nationwide for stars in all kinds of sprint ars, both winged and wingless, will personally deliver ice cream to all the competitors. In a tradition that began in 2001, the Lovell Bros racing entries for this event will include twin brothers Korey and Kevin Lovell fielding cars sponsored by Yuba City Scrap and Steel. Last year, as a matter of fact, the team finished one-two in the feature event. It should be a night to remember as Korey Lovell is in a hot battle to secure his unprecedented 4th track title.

2007 track champion Jeremy Burt of Grass Valley will be included in a large contingent of talented challengers in the wickedly fast Winged Sprint Car event. Point leader and 2 time champion Brent Dothage will also be in the field. The triple threat of the Dozier clan (Cort, Brandon and Derek) will be turning up the heat as well. This event is one of the few remaining scheduled races that features the Winged and Wingless Sprint Cars on the same night. So, bring the family for some great professional racing action and free Ice Cream for everyone!

In the Wingless ranks, someone is going to have to come up with a solution for Tony Richards. Richards has won eight of the ten events he has entered this year. Northern California's most competitive field of wingless sprint car drivers will be looking to beat Richards and claim the trophy on Saturday night.

One last thing…the EXTREME BOMBERS will bring down the curtain on Saturday’s Yuba City Scrap and Steel Ice Cream Night with a guarantee that no one in the class will go home without being HAMMERED by one of the other competitors. It’s pretty much policy. Picture a Destruction Derby on a high speed oval. There you have it. If your tastes run toward wild and wooly crash ‘em up action, don’t miss Saturday’s spectacular display of motorized mayhem! 

SPRINT CAR OWNERS/DRIVERS - $1100 in Contingency Connection awards are also continuing in both sprint car classes in addition to the regular weekly purses (see details at end of article).

Pit gates always open at 3 with the grandstands opening at 5. Practice and hot laps start at 6 with qualifying and racing to follow. Put www.marysvilleracewaypark.com on your “favorites” button on you computer. Watch this site for press releases, updates and complete results.

Contingency Connection -Winged and Wingless Sprint Cars-$300,000 in contingency rewards ongoing through 2008: 

Remember, our racing program will get $150,000 worth of contingency dollars for our winged and wingless sprint cars. The way it works is that Contingency Connection has signed up 181 sponsors nationwide who contribute products or merchandise each race to the winner. The only catch is that drivers must be sporting the decal of that sponsor to earn the bonus. If a driver who wins the MRP Winged or Wingless feature race has every decal on his car, he could receive some $1150 in products or merchandise. The vouchers can be saved and traded in for larger ticket items. The bonus is a healthy addition to the weekly $1,000 promoter Hawes already pays to the winner of MRP winged sprint car main events and the $750 he pays to MRP wingless sprint car feature winners.

In addition to the $150,000 Contingency Connection is providing during the regular season, the program also has earmarked another $150,000 toward a year-end bonus for the top two drivers as well as four other "at-large" drivers whom the promoters believe are deserving of some added cash. The driver must be an association member. You can join the association at ANY scheduled event and be eligible for the awards.
