BOSS Heads To Eldora Speedway For The Sprintacular
3 min readThe 2015 season has been a record setting one with eight of the scheduled twenty BOSS races falling victim to weather. Two of those eight rain outs were able to be made up. Now, the Mo Vaughn Transport / Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series looks to finish the season strong with the season points finale at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio as part of the “Sprintacular” which will also feature 2 divisions of winged sprint cars. Despite running at the end of the card, the tour has upstaged the headliners the last 2 years in a row with a huge car count and some fantastic racing!
For the first time in BOSS history, the season points championship has been decided before the cars ever take to the 1/2 mile Eldora banks. The “Guilford Gasser” Shawn Westerfeld of Guilford, Indiana has secured the 2015 title with one feature win and the most consistent performance the tour has ever seen. Westerfeld would like nothing more than to cap off his championship season with an Eldora Speedway victory.
All of the BOSS stars and cars will be on hand. Past tour champions Mike Miller and Dustin Smith hold down the #2 and #3 spot in the standings with 2014 national non-wing rookie of the year Cooper Clouse in the fourth spot. Aaron Middaugh and Michael Fischesser are currently tied for the fifth spot while Chad Wilson, Cody Gardner, Justin Owen and Bob McMillin round out the top 10.
This Saturday at Eldora, the event times have been moved up for the fall temperatures. Pit gates will open at 12:30 pm and general admission ticket sales will also begin. General admission gates open at 1 pm. BOSS pill draw will close at 4 pm. Drivers meeting will be at the BOSS tent at 4:05, with engine heat promptly at 5:15 and hot laps beginning at 5:37.
