Speedway, Indiana (July 16, 2019)………Extra bonus money has been thrown into the pot for the 32nd annual edition of NOS Energy Drink Indiana Sprint Week July 18-27 for the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship.

ProSource, out of Grand Saline, Texas, has added “Hard Work” and “Passing Master” awards to the festivities totaling $2,000. The Hard Work award will pay $200 per night to the slowest qualifying driver who transfers into the night’s feature event.

At the conclusion of the week, the points will be tallied up and the overall Passing Master who accumulates the most positions gained from his or her original starting spot during each feature event throughout the course of Indiana Sprint Week will earn $400 courtesy of ProSource. Provisional feature starters each night are excluded from gaining points toward the Passing Master standings.

B & W Auto Mart from Bloomington, Ind. has added a $100 “Hard Charger” bonus to the driver advancing the most positions from his or her starting spot during each night’s feature event throughout the eight-race series.

These bonuses will be added to the season-long sponsors for USAC National competition in 2019, including NOS Energy Drink, the title sponsor of Indiana Sprint Week as well as the USAC Midget National Championship, and AMSOIL, the title sponsor of the USAC Sprint Car National Championship.

Fatheadz Eyewear awards each fast qualifier with $100 throughout the entire 2019 season while Simpson Race Products, Competition Suspension, Inc., Auto Meter and Indy Race Parts are on-board throughout the entire season as heat race sponsors.

Wilwood Brakes sponsors the driver who finishes 13th in each National feature event. Saldana Racing Products will boost the spirits of the first non-transfer each night (the driver finishing one position out of the final transfer spot during the night’s semi-feature. In addition, Saldana will reward any National Sprint and National Midget driver who performs a “sweep” of all the racing events for the night. The driver must record the fastest qualifying time during time trials, win his or her heat race, then conclude the night with a feature victory.

KSE Racing Products will run through the pack to honor each event’s hard charger (the driver who advances the most positions from their original starting spot during the night’s main event). Hoosier Tire serves as the official tire of USAC while VP Racing Fuels returns as the official fuel and Racing Electronics is the official communications provider. iRacing is the official motorsport simulation of USAC. Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts is the official trailer of USAC. Roger and Barb Tapy / R & B Truckers will supply a Hoosier Right Rear tire to the driver who qualifies 13th quickest during time trials of every USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car event.
