Quiring's New Sprint Series Gets A Name
Image
The new 410 sprint car series founded by Tod Quiring of Big Game Treestands now has a name—the National Sprint League.
The series has also announced the addition of its first two employees. Chuck Zitterich will serve as competition director, while Bill Wright will be public relations director.
The National Sprint League recently announced four dates at the Knoxville Raceway in Iowa (May 9, June 27, July 4, Aug. 29), as well as one at the Eagle Raceway near Eagle, Neb., (Friday, May 8). The May 8-9 Eagle/Knoxville weekend will offer a $20,000 bonus for a sweep of the features, thanks to Phil and Ryan Durst of Durst Motorplex in Lincoln, Neb.
The point fund for the series will be $350,000, while drivers will still be able to vie for the Knoxville Championship Cup Series, which pays out more than $250,000 in cash and contingencies.
Zitterich brings a wealth of experience, and presently serves as an official with the Knoxville Raceway. He most recently was the competition director with the ASCS Midwest Region. He also has been active in the past at the Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D., and with the NMRA series, among others.
Wright has been a freelance journalist, announcer and public relations representative in sprint car racing for the last twenty years. He has been employed at the Knoxville Raceway in several different capacities over the last ten years, including website maintenance, public relations and as co-track historian. His announcing experience includes shows sanctioned by the Sprint Invaders, MOWA, IRA, ASCS and audio broadcasts from the Knoxville Raceway.
“We’re all excited about the National Sprint League,” said Quiring. “We’re really happy to have Chuck and Bill on board as our Competition Director and PR Director. They bring a wealth of experience. It’s really overwhelming the response we’ve had from the fans, promoters, tracks and major businesses. We have a lot of exciting news we’ll be announcing in the coming weeks.”
