The road to the 2009 season Championship starts here!

Portland, OR May 26th - The American Speed Association/Northwest Sprintcar Racing Association

(ASA/NSRA) starts their 2009 championship season, the first and second of a ten race schedule, at

Meridian Speedway in Meridian, ID with the running of Diamond Cup Sprintcar Spectacular Friday and

Saturday May 29th & 30th.

This is the one race each year in which all competitors start out tied for first place in series points. All

have the same points: 0. By the end of two night’s racing an early points leader will emerge. Because

of many local sprint cars competing the early points leader may indeed be a surprise!

Expected at Meridian Speedway are returning 2008 champion Matt Hein in the #98h car, 2007

champion Andy Alberding, Jeff Montgomery 2006 champion in the # 33J car, Jake Mann in the # 51

car, Todd Coleman in the # 44 car, R.J. Fronsman in the Zema Racing # 25 car, Sierra Jackson in the #

25 car, Justin Mack in the # 17 car, and Greg Middendorf in the 4 car.

ASA/NSRA is the most exciting opened wheel racing on the west coast and by far the fastest. NSRA

drivers currently hold 22 all time track records at venues throughout the region. These are open

wheeled, winged sprint cars running on paved ovals utilizing 700 plus horsepower alcohol-burning

engines running on tracks that vary in length from quarter mile to five-eights mile facilities.
