Open wheel sprint cars are truly unique, fun, and exciting racing machines. Fans of all ages are drawn
to them for their aggressive and colorful styling, powerful sound, high speeds, and close racing action. Sprint cars are lightweight by design, but strong enough to withstand the most abusive accidents. Most often the drivers walk away untouched. Their racing skeleton is made up of strong, durable metal tubing which forms the base for their aerodynamic body panels. These panels are molded to fit the sprint cars frame and attached to prefabricated brackets. The most recognizable parts of a sprint car are their sharp, angled top and front wings. They provide downforce for more speed and options for setup during tough and changing track conditions. Sprint cars are most often showcased on and off the race track, sporting exciting color schemes and vibrant graphics while depicting the drivers sponsors, products, or services.

Sprint car races have drawn many crowds since their incarnation after WWI. If you were to ask a long time fan to describe a typical night at the races, they would most likely mention the intense, powerful sound of their roaring 800 horsepower, V8 engines. Then they would excitingly add how each and every week they cannot get enough of the adrenaline pumping speeds and the fearlessness of each driver as they battle for position through every turn, fighting for their chance to race in the main event. Just imagine watching a feature race with 24 exuberant sprint cars jam packed on a small, oval dirt track. As the green flag waves, immediately heard is the voice of an announcer in the background calling the action. Then you begin to see the dirt fly, feel the rumble of the engines and smell the subtlety of the burning fuel, as the cars make their way around the track. Wow, what an experience!
