PINELLAS PARK, Fla. – BG Products Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series has been added to the February 18 event at Showtime Speedway.
The 11th annual World Outlaw Figure 8 Finals will take place, sharing the spotlight with the late model figure 8’s in what is annually Showtime Speedway’s biggest night of the year.
The BG Products Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series will be making its first visit to Showtime since October 8 when Davey Hamilton Jr. found victory lane. Winged sprint cars have become a novelty in recent seasons as the track has focused on non-winged events.
Hamilton Jr. is currently on a six-race series winning streak. It appeared as if Hamilton’s streak was about to come to an end during the season opener at Auburndale Speedway last month.
Daniel Miller was poised for victory until a mid-race double-file restate allowed Hamilton the break he needed. The February event will round No. 2 towards the season.
The event will be a prelude to the following weekend’s 4th annual Dave Steele 125. This year’s event will pay $5,000-to-win. If 26 or more cars are on hand, and the fast qualifier elects to start at the tail and can win, he will walk away with $20,000.
The February 18 event is expected to draw a solid car count of SSSS regulars that include Hamilton, Miller, Dude Teate, Sport Allen, Steven Hollinger, Bruce Brantley, John Inman, Tommy Nichols, Sonny Hartley, Scotty Adema, Ryan Adema, and many more.
