| Route 66 Sprint Series Releases 2013 Schedule |
| |
The Route 66 Sprint Series has announced a five event schedule to be held at five different tracks for the 2013 racing season. At the request of the participants, a shorter schedule will help reduce travel and racing expenses and reduce the chance for inclement weather at the early and late season events. With the success that the "Komet Throwdown" and the "Yamaha Shootout" had this past year, the series will be adding special money races to every race weekend for the 2013 season.
The series will open at New Castle Motorsports Park (NCMP) in May followed by a return to Michiana Raceway Park (MRP) near South Bend, IN in June. Badger Kart Club (BKC) located in Dousman, WI will host round three in July followed by a visit to Concepts Haulers Motor Speedway (CHMS) in Norway, Illinois in August. The final event will be held at the historic Mid-State Raceway near Springfield, IL in September. Mid-State Kart Club (MSKC) is currently revamping the pit area at Mid-State Raceway where the pit area will be raised and leveled out. The MSKC event will also be a bonus points race and if competitors compete in all five series events, an additional 22 bonus points will be awarded toward the season points total. The best four out of five events will count toward the season point championship in 2013.
