The Midwest Sprint Car season will not end until October.  On October 1st MSCS drivers will have an opportunity to participate with USAC drivers in the Lawrenceburg Nationals.  That event will pay $10,000 to the winner.  Each year the race always lures one of the largest fields if not the biggest field of non-wing sprint cars anywhere.  A new event has been added to conclude the 2011 season.  This is the implementation of a season finale designed to resolve the MSCS Title Chase.  The event will provide an opportunity for drivers earning the top awards, such as the Champion and  Rookie of the Year, to receive them with fans present in a race setting. That race will be known as the Harvest Cup and be held at Tri-State Speedway on Saturday, October 8th and will pay $4,000 to win.  Should any additional dates materialize an announcement will be made at that time.  Sprint car fans will not want to miss this or any of these exciting races.
