BAPS Motor Speedway, 690 York Road, York Haven, will hold the Goofy's Eatery and Spirits Sprint Showdown on Saturday, Nov. 16. The event will be the last 410 Sprint show of the season in the United States, and it will pay $10,000 to the winner.
This event was started by former speedway owner Todd Fisher, and it traditionally fell after the World Finals in Concord, N.C. A year ago, owner Scott Gobrecht and BAPS Motor Speedway general manager Kolten Gouse moved it to October. When the management team was putting this year's schedule together, one of the main objectives was to honor the tradition of this event and move it back to November.
Gerard McIntyre Jr. is the defending champion of the race. Lance Dewease was the 2017 winner, with Jacob Allen claiming his first career 410 Sprint Car win in the 2016 event.
This year's Sprint Showdown is scheduled for a 4 p.m. start. There is a general admission fee, with seniors and students receiving discounts. Children age 12 and under may attend for free. The rain date for the event will be Sunday, Nov. 17.
Reserve seating can be purchased on the BAPS Motor Speedway website until midnight on Nov. 16. For more information, readers may visit http://www.bapsmotorspeedway.com.
