AMP Series Release:
Alexander, AR (April 30, 2007) - The Day Motorsports Arkansas Motorsports Professional Series presented by American Racer or "AMP Series" has been invited once again to compete with our neighbors to the East in another edition of the "Battle on the River". This will set up a double date weekend with the MSCCS, night one at Greenville Speedway and night two at Winona Speedway.
The date, May 5, 2007, AMP will travel on to Central Mississippi Speedway's 3/10 ths mile Clay Oval in Winona, Mississippi
The date, is part of the wildly successful Mississippi State Championship Challenge Series or MSCCS, which is ran at various tracks across the Magnolia State. The race format will be ran under the host association rules, however, competitors may pick what tire rule they wish to compete under.
"We feel allowing the drivers to choose between one tire rule or the other will help increase the car count. With recent cancellations to our schedule, we wanted to give our drivers the most opportunity to race. Greenville and Winona are about four to four and a half hours from Little Rock; just over the border in Mississippi " said AMP Series Director Christy Hudson. She further went on to say that she believes it will be a successful event and hopefully one they can continue in the future.
