“I am thrilled to be able to come back to my home track and race in front of friends and family who usually are unable to travel to other tracks we race at,” said Jeff Geiger, general manager of MASS and driver of the no. 77J IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Car. “New Egypt Speedway’s facilities are first class and I am especially grateful for hard working staff members like Pete MacDonald who helped make our return possible”.
Sponsoring the event on April 14 will be MASS’s primary marketing partner, Delaware Auto Exchange and also MASS’s associate sponsor Engler Machine and Tool, who has come back on board for 2018, gifting the series with a brand new 305 injection to be raffled off at the end of the year banquet.

With two ticket race nights on the schedule, Engler will also be sponsoring the front row starters for all the MASS feature events. The pole sitters each night will be rewarded with two tickets for the fuel injection raffle. Other contingency sponsors for this event will be announced in days to come.
