The 4th Annual Lucas Oil Go-Kart Shootout presented by Earl Pearson, Jr. and co-sponsored by E3 Spark Plugs awarded another first-time winner with the big prize in the Lucas Oil Pro Class last weekend. Ridgeway, VA’s Matt Bowling beat a strong field of 62 entries to win the 50-lap feature event and take home the $10,000 purse. In all, event producers doled out more than $40,000 in prize money, including a $100 award to E3 Spark Plugs Fast Time Award Pro-Class winner Hunter Curtis.
Earl Pearson, Jr. and Matt Bowling, winner of the Lucas Oil Go-Kart Shootout Pro Class event.
This year’s event drew 430 entries in 26 classes competing over two days. Competing go-kart racers from across the country revved up at the Possum Kingdom Speedway in Belton, South Carolina. Thanks to a sponsorship agreement with ApplianceZone.com, the event was broadcast live on www.itstv.tv, including interviews with several drivers. The Lucas Oil Go-Kart Shootout is one of the biggest paying go-kart events of the year and, judging by this year’s turnout, is expected to be even bigger next year.
E3 Spark Plugs congratulates this year’s winners and looks forward to the 2011 event. Interested in competing next year? Check the Lucas Oil Go-Kart Shootout website for updates. And get your go-kart in top competitive form with a set of E3 performance spark plugs.
