By Brian Liskai
 
FREMONT, Ohio (Aug. 26. 2005) - The 305 sprint division has produced some of today's great 410 sprint drivers. And this year's crop of drivers have put on some of the best racing at Fremont Speedway that's been seen in the division in some time. As a reward, the Burns Iron & Metal 305 Sprint Invitational will offer one of the richest payoffs in the country for these talented drivers on Sunday, Sept. 4 at "The Track that Action Built."
 
The 305 sprints will run a 30-lap A-main for $2,500 to win! The payoff is: 1. $2,500; 2. $1,100; 3. $800; 4. $600; 5. $450; 6. $400; 7. $375; 8. $350; 9. $325; 10. $300; 11. $290; 12. $280; 13. $270; 14. $260; and 15-22. $250.
 
"We have seen some very talented racers come out of this division. Heck, our current 410 sprint point leader Mike Linder started in this division," said Fremont Speedway Promoter Jim Ford. "These teams work as hard as anyone to put on a great show each week and this Burns Iron & Metal Invite is our way to showcase their great talents."
 
There will also be plenty of opportunities for drivers to earn extra money. The Computer Man Dash - which has pitted each week's heat race winners in a special dash where drivers accumulate points toward a season-ending $5,000 point fund - will run four different dashes with 16 drivers. First in the dashes will pay $50, with $30 for second and third through fifth, $20.
 
The Computer Man Dash formats are as follows:
 
Dash 1. "Ralph W. Peter  M.D." - Top 4  in current Computer Man Dash points, who 
are not in Dash #3 or #4. Line up by current Computer Man dash points with a 4 car 
inversion. (lowest in points start up front)

Dash 2. "Borer Mirror & Glass" - Top 4 in Fremont Speedway points standings who 
are not in Dash  #1, #3 or #4. Line up by current Fremont points with a 4 car inversion. (lowest in points 
start up front)

Dash 3. "Gressman Power Sports" - 4 or 5 heat winners. Line up by heat race - Heat 1 winner on pole, heat 2 starts 2nd etc.

Dash 4. "Fremont Floor Covering Outlet"  - for 4 fastest qualifiers who were not heat winners. Line up by times with a 4 car inversion.

Also full points WILL be awarded towards the Computer Man $5,000 Dash Championships, including passing points.

Also, quick time award sponsored by  "The Stone Street Tavern" will be  $150 (one lap qualifying).
 
There will be a $300 Don Eckhardt Memorial Hard Charger Award from KOT Trucking for the driver who passes the most cars in the A-main.
