Atomic On Deck For Arctic Cat All Stars

INDIANAPOLIS (June 1, 2016) – The most anticipated month of the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions schedule is officially underway, complete with 11 events throughout Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Ohio, headlined with the 34th edition of Ohio Sprint Speedweek presented by Cometic Gasket. Before launching Ohio Sprint Speedweek on Friday, April 17, the Arctic Cat All Stars will enter three separate, $5,000-to-win events over the course of the first two weekends of June, beginning with visits to Atomic Speedway and Bedford Fairgrounds Speedway on Saturday and Sunday, June 4-5.

The Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions will kick-off the month of June with a trip to Chillicothe, Ohio, on Saturday, June 4. Atomic Speedway will try a third attempt at hosting the Arctic Cat All Stars in 2016, with the first two previously scheduled dates removed due to wet weather. The June 4 program will be the first of three appearances by the Arctic Cat All Stars at the Atomic highbanks in 2016. “America’s Series” will return during Ohio Sprint Speedweek on Wednesday, June 22, followed by a visit on October 21-22 for the 2016 Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions season finale.

Defending Arctic Cat All Star champion Dale Blaney is the most recent winner during All Star competition at Atomic Speedway, sweeping the Open Wheel Championship on July 31/August 1, 2015. The August 1 finale was worth $10,000.

Bedford Fairgrounds Speedway in Bedford, Pennsylvania, will host the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions for the second and final time in 2016 on Sunday, June 5.

About the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions:

All Star Enterprises, LLC, wholly owned by Tony Stewart, d/b/a the All Star Circuit of Champions, is a winged sprint car series. The All-Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Car Series is one of the oldest traveling 410 sprint car organizations and is a staple of grassroots, open-wheel racing. Formed in 1970 by Bud Miller, the series has largely been considered the first ‘outlaw’ Sprint Car organization of the modern era. After a 10 year stint as owner of the All Stars, Miller passed control of the series to Bert Emick in 1980; a reign that would continue through 2002. Guy Webb then purchased the series from Emick in the summer of 2002 and served as the series President for the next 12 years. Motorsports entrepreneur Tony Stewart agreed to terms with Guy Webb to become the sole owner of the original winged sprint car tour in January of 2015.
