[lukebogacki]

Scott Bailey and I are proud to announce that the third annual JEGS Summer Door Car Shootout will return to I-57 Dragstrip in Benton, IL July 19-21, 2013. The weekend payout will remain completely unchanged: two $7500-to-win main events, with pay back to third round winners. This year, we’ve added a warm-up race on Friday night ($2500-to-win), and of course we’ll continue the 100%+ payout bonus races (Quick 16 & King Of Illinois Hi-Roller event) that the SDCS has become known for.

What’s new for the 2013 JEGS Summer Door Car Shootout:
• Friday Warm-Up Race ($2500-to-win)!
• No Box Cars run separate for the first 3 rounds!
• Sunday “Run for the Money” to benefit the JEGS Foundation for Cancer Research!
• Increased Parking!
• More announcements to come!

What hasn’t changed that makes the SDCS great:
• NO DRAGSTERS!
• Guaranteed Purses!
• 1st Round Only Buybacks!
• Payback starts with 3rd round winners!
• 100%+ payout bonus events!
• $25,000+ in bonus prizes & awards!
• Jared Pennington on the mic!
• FREE Racer’s Appreciation BBQ!
• The best concession stand and the friendliest staff in the Midwest!

Mark your calendars door car drivers: this is the one event that you will not want to miss! Look for an event flyer with complete details in the coming months.

Holley Performance Products will once again present the Racer’s Appreciation BBQ at the 3rd annual JEGS Summer Door Car Shootout! This year, the Holley BBQ will take place at 7:00 Saturday evening, so all SDCS competitors and crew can enjoy the feast. Prior to purchasing I-57 Dragstrip, track owners Scott and Leigh Anne Bailey made their living in the concessions business (THEY CAN COOK!). Scott will be overseeing the barbecue, and he’s already getting the smoker tuned up.

Thank you Holley Performance for making the BBQ possible for a second consecutive season. Come enjoy the grub Saturday night, July 20, at the JEGS Summer Door Car Shootout at I-57 Dragstrip in Benton, IL!

As always, the SDCS will provide some extra incentives for those DARING enough to test the waters without the aid of a delay box! The furthest advancing bottom bulber in Saturday's Moser Main Event will earn a free entry to the 2014 Southern Footbrake Challenge! BRODIX Sunday's best no boxer gets a free entry to the 2014 No Box Nationals!

NEW FOR 2013: No Box racers will be called to the lanes separately for the first 3 rounds (we'll only award 1 buy run per round, so it is possible that 1 no box racer will have to race a box car)!
