HUMBOLDT — The American Sprint Car Series makes its first appearance at Humboldt Speedway Tuesday.
In a special event at the Speedway, the sprint cars and the USRA modified drivers will race for national points.
Races get under way at 8 p.m. General admission for adults is $20 and $5 for children.
Pit passes are $35. Gates open at 6 p.m.
For two-time Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series champion Jason Johnson, it appears the 2012 season is going his way. The Eunice, La., driver leads by 21 markers.
“You know this year I feel that with the new partnership with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Roush/Yates Ford, we are showing more promising feature runs,” Johnson said, “but just need to put the whole night together.”
Johnson has eight feature race wins this season. He has never raced at Humboldt Speedway.
“You have to go in with an open mind. You need to keep in mind you are going into Kansas so it’s going to be hot and dry and be ready for that,” Johnson said. “I enjoy going to new places.”
