Second Race Date Confirmed at Irwindale Speedway

Bakersfield, CA – Today, the contract was signed for a second race date for the SPEARS Southwest Tour Series at Irwindale Speedway in 2016. The second date is Saturday, June 18^th.

“Irwindale was not planning a race on June 18^th, so we’re leasing the facility to put on the event,” stated Brian Olsen of the SRL. “Irwindale is a great track for our series and no one’s sure how long the track is going to be here, so a second date was important to us.”

The 2016 SPEARS Southwest Tour Series season started with the “Winter Showdown”, a non-points race on February 28^th.   With the addition of the second Irwindale Speedway date, the 2016 championship season will now feature nine points paying events, beginning this weekend at the Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

The SPEARS Southwest Tour Series will visit six tracks in 2016, including; two appearances at the Bullring on April 9^th and November 19^th, two dates at Irwindale Speedway on April 30^th and June 18^th, two at Kern County Raceway on May 21^st and October 29^th, one stop at Madera Speedway on July 16^th, once at Redwood Acres Raceway in Eureka, California on August 6^th and once at the series newest venue, Tucson Speedway on September 17^th.
