MILL HALL, Pa. The 410 sprint car drivers have spoken highly of the recent race events over the last few years hosted at the Clinton County Speedway.

Race Promoter Jason McCahan took the opportunity on Saturday at the Racing Xtravagana Show in York to give the 410 sprint car drivers even more reason to be talking about the third-mile oval.

The speedway recently learned that it received a tourism grant from the Clinton County Tourism Agency and the Clinton County government, said McCahan. As a result of the added funding, our July 11th 410 sprint car event will now pay $7,500 to win.

The speedways 410 events have attracted drivers from several different states, which was important to the tourism agency.   This year, we will have two high-profile 410 sprint car shows the $7,500 to win show on Friday, July 11 and the annual Phil Walter Classic paying $6,300 on Saturday Aug. 9. Both events will pay $500 to take the green flag.

In addition to these two events, the speedway will again be the opening event for the annual Appalichian Mountain Super Late Model Speedweek event on Friday June 6. Clinton County hosted one of the stronger car counts for the weeks event that travels throughout the state visiting a different track each night.

The United Racing Club 360 Sprints will also be returning to the speedway on May 16 and the USAC East Coast Sprints will be back on June 27.

The RaceSaver Sprint Cars and Limited Late Models continued to highlight the weekly events at the speedway. The Pro Stocks, 270 Micros, and 4 Cylinders are part of the weekly show.

The official season opener is scheduled for Sunday afternoon on April 6 with the RaceSaver Sprints, IMCA Modifieds, Pro Stocks, 270 Micros and Four Cylinders.
