The sights and sounds of dirt track racing return this Friday and Saturday, March 15 & 16, with the running of the Mini Gold Cup at Silver Dollar Speedway.

On Friday night the field is set with 410 sprint cars, Hobby Stocks, and IMCA Northern Sport Mods. The 410-sprint car winner on Friday night will pick up $4,000 for the win and a nice minimum of $400 to start the feature event.

Saturday March 16 the track will host the NARC 410 sprint car series with a rewarding $10,000 going to the winner of that night’s main event. It will also serve as NARC’s first point race of the season. Joining the NARC 410 sprint cars on Saturday are the Hobby Stocks. It was just released that the Hobby Stocks will be offered bonus money, top three in combined weekend points, and the overall point winner being crowned as a Mini Gold Cup Champion.
