From the Engine Pro ASCS Sprints on Dirt Presented by ARP

This is just a brief update on the 2011 schedule for everyone interested. Scheduling is going great with a goal of releasing the schedule by the end of January. I would say that it is about 75% complete. Almost all of the 2010 tracks are back for 2011; a couple of promoters are looking to move their dates around which I am working on right now.

The Memorial Day weekend races with NRA in Ohio are planned again and the Oshweken/South Buxton shows have been announced already. Please feel free to email me with any questions or concerns anytime at mlstrevel@gmail.com.

On another subject we are probably going to have a preseason staff/race team meeting sometime in March. I’m open to suggestions on where to hold this meeting; it will be informative going over 2011 rules and expectations for the season. Larry Goldsberry will return as Competition Director for 2011 and he will be a large part of this meeting.

I wish Dain Naida good luck with his new ride and I look forward to talking with everyone soon, have a safe winter and thank you for your support of the Engine Pro ASCS Sprints on Dirt Presented by ARP.

Mike Strevel-Series Director

On behalf of everyone involved with the Engine Pro ASCS Sprints on Dirt presented by ARP we would like to wish you Happy Holidays and look forward to seeing you at the races in 2011!

From ASCS SOD

The Engine Pro ASCS Sprints On Dirt presented by ARP series will usher in 2011 under new direction. ASCS SOD is proud to introduce Mike Strevel as Series Director for its 32nd season.

Strevel, from Shelbyville, MI, has a long history in the short track racing industry. Among his career highlights included a five year role as Director of Operations of the Berlin Raceway in Marne, MI, four years involved with the Auto Value Super Sprints Series and over twenty years announcing auto races at dozens of speedways throughout the midwest and Canada. ” I’m very excited to be given this opportunity” stated Strevel. “I have had a love of open wheel short track cars my entire life and I look forward to carrying on the great tradition of the ASCS SOD Series with the help of an incredibly talented staff.”

Dain Naida, who has been the Series Director for the past three seasons, is stepping down to concentrate on a new driving opportunity for 2011. Naida commented “Mike Strevel is a great addition to the series, he has a deep passion for sprint cars and a personal relationship with many promoters and sponsors in our region. I can’t think of a more natural fit to take ASCS SOD into the future.”

While 2010 is coming to an end, the action behind the scenes in the ASCS SOD series is heating up. Strevel and crew are hard at work scheduling dates as well as firming up sponsors for the 2011 season. More info will be released in the coming weeks.
