RACINE-Saturday, March 26 will mark the debut of the Ohio Sprint Car Series (OSCS) at Atomic Speedway, the Nation’s Fastest 3/8 mile dirt oval. The excitement has been building all winter for the event that pays $2,500 to win.

Anticipation of the running of this new series has been the hot topic among online racing circles, auto racing news media, racing teams, and open wheel race fans.

The racing card this Saturday night will feature OSCS Sprints, Late Models, Modifieds, and Sport Mods.
“We are extremely excited about this new series,” said Atomic owner and OSCS founder Brad McCown. “We tried to fill a void in Southern Ohio that provided sprint car racers with significant purses and provided race fans with quality racing and quality race teams.”

“We had a great weekend last Saturday for our season opener. The racing was great and the fan support was unbelievable. We hope to continue that success each and every Saturday night. I am excited to get this series off the ground, and most of all to host it here at Atomic Speedway.”

Some of the biggest names in racing will be on hand including many All-Star sprint drivers and the best of regional sprint car drivers vying for national recognition. Traditionally, Atomic averages 25-35 sprint cars on a weekly basis, and with the increased purse anticipates a more significant number of cars.
