Old School Racing
(OSRCT) is a new racing series that will
have retired and semi-retired champion drivers competing in a 10
race regular season schedule followed by a “Last Chance Race” and a
“Championship Race”.
The Drivers:
Eligible drivers are previous NASCAR Cup, Busch, Truck
race winners, series champions from ARCA, CART and Indy Car, and
previous Indy 500 winners that are not currently competing full time
in any of the previous series. There will be 15 drivers competing in
each regular season race and 20 drivers in the OSR Championship
Races.
The Races:
Races will be held on a Wednesday, Thursday, or
Friday on short tracks nearby the NASCAR®
event the following Saturday or Sunday. The tracks will all
be ¾ mile or smaller in size. Driver safety is OSR’s major focus
and OSR feels that the smaller tracks will slow the overall speed
while allowing close bumper to bumper racing action that these
drivers grew up on. The races will be 100 laps or less depending on
the size of the track.
The Points System and Championship Race:
OSR has preliminary drawn up a system very similar to other
popular racing series.
Drivers are only eligible to compete in 6 of the 10 races. OSR
will take the best five of a drivers six races and that would be
their points total for the year. After the 10 regular season races,
OSR would take the top 10 in driver points and they would advance
to the Championship Race. Points positions 11-30 will compete in
the Last Chance Race the night before the Championship Race. The top
ten in the Last Chance Race will be placed with the 10 drivers
already in the Championship Race, for a one race Championship
“shoot-out”. And we’re thinking “Winner-take-All”. What a heck of a
race that will be!
The Vehicle:
The vehicle will be a fully adjustable complete race
vehicle, meeting the current safety standards approved by an outside
third party. The vehicles will be equally prepared, maintained,
transported and provided to the drivers by OSR. The body style
has yet to be determined as talks with manufacturers continue.
Charity:
In OSR, each driver will be competing for a
charity of their choice as well as for themselves. Each driver will
have the logo of the charity they are competing for on the side of
their race car. This will bring attention to the charity as well as
a donation on behalf of the driver. There will also be a limited
access autograph session before each race and all proceeds will go
toward charity.
