Midwest Sprint Car Series (MSCS) Set To Battle at the Montpelier Motor Speedway on May 2nd in 410 Non-Wing Sprinter Action.

The Midwest Sprint Car Series is set to battle at the historic Montpelier Motor Speedway on Saturday, May 2nd as a part of 2015 MSCS series championship slate.  For the popular  series, now in its 15th season, the May 2nd visit will serve as the first visit since 2001 at MMS for the Southern Indiana based 410 Non-Wing Series.  The event will pay a healthy $2000 To Win and $200 To Start to series competitors.
During the 2013 season, the MSCS series saw a multitude of different winners including Hunter Schuernberg, Daron Clayton, Jeff Bland Jr., Tyler Courtney, Robert Ballou, Brady Short, Kyle Cummings, and Jon Stanbrough.  Cummings was the 2014 MSCS champion while all-time  Montpelier Sprint winner, Jon Stanbrough, is the series all-time win leader with 20 career feature wins.  Rocklin California’s, Robert Ballou, bested a 40 car field from the 10th starting position to pick up the lone traditional sprint race (BOSS Sprints) on the schedule for the Montpelier Motor Speedway during the 2014 season.  The MSCS date will join a diverse Montpelier Motor Speedway schedule that features appearances from several winged and non-winged sprint car organizations along with the return of traditional events for the Midgets and weekly classes.
The Montpelier Motor Speedway, which began racing in 1903 and hosted its first automobile race in 1915, is one of America’s oldest remaining racing facilities. While the east central Indiana ¼ mile clay oval has a historic past, the facility has seen many major modern upgrades the past four seasons including new restrooms and bleachers along with the addition of many safety features including a new catch fence and front stretch wall. The Montpelier Motor Speedway commonly competes weekly on Saturday Nights with its popular Modified and Stock Car divisions and is also the host to the popular Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget series.
