OSKALOOSA, Iowa - Remaining tickets for the Musco Lighting Front Row Challenge and the USAC Searsboro Telephone Company Ultimate Challenge are up for grabs.  You can purchase your tickets for both events by calling McTwo Promotions at 515-957-0020, Tuesday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Infield party passes will be $25 and may be purchased in advance as well.

The events are held at the half-mile Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa, and along with the Nationals events at Knoxville are a vital part of Southern Iowa Sprintweek.

“We think we offer a great event for people of all ages, without raising the prices every year,” says promoer Terry McCarl. “We always have plenty of giveaways for the kids, and try to make an ‘event’ out of it. We want these races to be an ideal retreat for any race fan, and we do our best to make this thing bigger and better every year.”

The 14th Annual Musco Lighting Front Row Challenge has quickly become one of the “must see” events on any race fans calendar, and will take place this year on Aug. 10. Entertainment, as well as great racing is always a part of the Front Row Challenge, and this year the winner’s share will be upped to $10,000.

Daryn Pittman won last year’s edition ahead of Tyler Walker, Tim Kaeding, Roger Crockett and Jason Solwold. You know the field will include the best in the sprint car business again this year, especially with the winner’s share increased.

Fans are always on the edge of their seats at the Front Row Challenge. Usually their eyes are focused on the rear of the field to see if anyone can claim the Front Row Challenge and $50,000 to win from the tail.

The best drivers in the “traditional” non-winged sprint car world battle it out in a “one night stand for 15 grand” on Tuesday, Aug. 11. The event will again be sanctioned by USAC, ensuring that the best drivers in non-winged sprint car racing will be on hand.

Last year’s event was won by Dave Darland, and he was followed to the line by Kevin Swindell, Jerry Coons Jr., Cole Whitt and Hunter Schuerenberg. Darland paired with car owner Scott Benic, who has fielded three winning cars in the Ultimate Challenge (also for Boston Reid and Levin Jones). They are expected back to defend their title.

The action is always intense from the first green thrown to the last checkered flag at the Ultimate Challenge.

“We’re excited about USAC being a part of this event,” added McCarl. “You can’t beat the winner’s paycheck, that’s for sure. Having Tony Stewart and Kasey Kahne bring their race teams is huge for us. There should be an impressive field of cars here. You never know who is going to rise to the top in this thing. We have a different winner every year it seems.”

Don’t miss either event. Order your tickets by calling 515 957-0020 today.
