Kistler Racing Products FAST Series Releases 2010 Schedule
MAUMEE, OH (2-5-10) by Bryan Autullo - FAST Public Relations
With the 2010 season right around the corner in Northern Ohio, the Kistler Racing Products
Fremont/Attica Sprint Title (F.A.S.T.) Championship Series is hard at work organizing their
sophomore campaign. Much like in 2009, a 22-race schedule is planned for this year with 11
events at both Attica Raceway Park and Fremont Speedway. The schedule's concept features "F.
A.S.T. Weekends" where events are ran back-to-back at the two tracks in a Friday/Saturday
package with the intent to attract more fans and teams to the 410 sprint car racing hotbed for two
consecutive nights of points racing. The only exceptions are the two stand alone season
championship nights sponsored by Kistler Racing Products at the two tracks end of the season.
The race for the 2010 F.A.S.T. Kistler Cup begins the weekend of April 23rd and 24th at Attica
and Fremont and their is no telling who you might find pulling into the pits.
The F.A.S.T. Championship Series is hard at work putting together enough cash and contingency
prizes to entice 410 sprint car teams to Northern Ohio to compete at these two great venues
throughout the season and the intent to reward the teams at the banquet. "We have secured
enough sponsors and advertisers to once again pay out $10,000 to the series championship
winner and of course the Kistler Cup trophy," said series co-founder Scott Porter. "I think teams
have noticed the numbers that Fremont, Attica & F.A.S.T. have put together on paper and
realize that our independent point fund, combined with the two track point funds, creates the third
richest point fund payout in the country for a weekly sprint car racing program, behind only iconic
venues like Williams Grove and Knoxville." In 2009, the F.A.S.T. Series paid out $30,000 in cash
to the Top-10 teams and added another $30,000 in contingency awarded to the Top-20 teams.
Plans for 2010 are very much in line with what the series was able to do in its inaugural season.
Another thing that is attracting teams to Northern Ohio is the weekly purse at these two venues.
Attica pays $2,200 to win and Fremont pays $2,500 to win with each track paying well all the way
back through the field and that keeps teams coming back weekly and many outsiders trying to
swoop in for a quick day. "We see some of the best local talent in the country every weekend at
Attica & Fremont," said series co-founder Chris Kettman. "With guys like Mark Keegan, Byron
Reed, Brock Mayes, Craig Mintz, Brandon Martin, Chris Andrews, Mike Linder, and Phil Gressman
competing for the Fremont/Attica Sprint Title you won't find a more affordable or better way to
spend your summer nights in 2010." 2009 F.A.S.T. Champion Craig Mintz narrowly edged out
Byron Reed for the 2009 crown making for a great battle all season long, which created a new
enthusiasm that swept through the stands and pit area. "To make things even more interesting,
we also expect to see guys like Randy Hannagan, Lee Jacobs, Rob Chaney, and Kody Kinser to
make appearance throughout the 22-events planned this season," Kettman added.
The season in Northern Ohio officially starts with opening night at Attica Raceway Park on Friday
March 26th featuring 410 sprint cars, UMP DIRTcar Late Models and 305 sprint cars. Just a few
short weeks later Fremont Speedway opens the gates on their 59th year of racing on Saturday
April 17th with 410 sprint cars, 305 sprint cars and dirt trucks.
