TULSA, Okla. – New for the 2020 racing season, the Sooner Region of the American Sprint Car Series and the Oil Capital Racing Series will work together when scheduling events, in order to support the growth and betterment of sprint car racing in the region.

The goal of the two series working together is to reduce the number of events scheduled on top of one another.

“Kerry and I have been figuring out a way to make this happen over the course of 2019,” said ASCS Sooner Region director Terry Mattox. “The series, the fans, and the promoters all suffer when both sanctions are fighting for cars all the time so by doing this, we’re hoping to eliminate a lot of unnecessary frustration.”

An added bonus will be that there is a separate point fund in the works to reward the teams that support both series.

“I for one think this is a move in the right direction for sprint car racing in our area,” said OCRS owner Kerry Gorby. “This has needed to happen for a while now. I am glad Terry and I are on the same page.”

No changes in rules will take place with either series. Both series will release their 2020 rule books during the offseason.
