Sprint Cars Showdown

Buckle up for a high-octane conversation as we welcome Owen Pittman, the dynamic promoter behind Houston Motorsports Park and its sister track in Corpus Christi. With the adrenaline-pumping Elite 410 Wingless Sprint Car event just days away, Pittman gives us an exclusive preview of what promises to be one of the most electrifying races of the season.

These aren't your ordinary sprint cars. Primarily dirt track racers, these teams are converting their machines for a rare asphalt appearance, creating a unique challenge that will showcase pure racing talent. As Pittman reveals, "They're going to be by far the fastest things gone around that oval in a long time, if not ever." With 16-18 cars expected, including top points leaders and championship winners, this July 5th event is shaping up to be unmissable.

Perhaps the most surprising revelation comes when Pittman shares his Crown Victoria racing program. For just $200 plus a crash clause fee, anyone can suit up in professional gear and race a former police cruiser complete with roll cage and racing harness. It's an accessible entry point into the racing world that turns spectators into competitors. "For $200... you can come out and race, get your experience, run a heat race and a feature in a Crown Vic," Pittman explains.

The conversation wraps with details about upcoming car events throughout the Houston area and breaking automotive news, including Cadillac's ultra-luxury $340,000 Celestiq delivery and the sinking of a cargo ship carrying 3,000 vehicles in the Pacific. Whether you're a dedicated gearhead or simply looking for an exciting night out, this episode offers something for every automotive enthusiast.

Ready to experience the thrill of racing firsthand? Head to Houston Motorsports Park on July 5th at 7pm – where dollar hot dogs, dollar beer, and nine classes of racing action await!
