Great Lakes Super Sprints Joins Forces With NCRA

With a desire to help local racers and not wanting to get complacent after a successful inaugural season, Great Lakes Super Sprints (GLSS) announced it is joining forces with the National Championship Racing Association (NCRA) for the 2017 season.

On the local level, GLSS and the K&N Concrete’s NRA Sprint Invaders have partnered up, dovetailing its schedules together, streamlining the rules package, race procedures and payouts for drivers, making it easier to run co-sanctioned shows and individual shows. This will give fans in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Canada more opportunities to enjoy 360ci winged sprint car racing.

With this type of local partnership in mind, GLSS owner Barry Marlow has had his eye on giving drivers and teams more national recognition, while helping with sponsors, endorsements and bigger purses.

For the past six months, the owner of Sprint Car Bandits (SCB) Steve Lang from Mesquite, TX, and Marlow have spent hours on the phone working on putting together a national alliance for local and regional sprint series.

One of the key ingredients they wanted in a national alliance was that each local and regional series that joins would still operate under their own rules and procedures. But by joining together, they could provide mutual support and greater opportunities for our local teams.

Lang and Marlow reached out to many of the other independent 360ci sprint groups around the country and received a great deal of interest and excitement in this concept. Several of these groups are in the process of announcing their alliance as well with the NCRA.

The NCRA was founded in 1971 and has been a sanctioning body for the past 46 years. The alliance with NCRA and other Independent 360ci Winged Sprint series around the country will provide a bigger footprint from a marketing and advertising standpoint.
