Spring Fling Million Returns to Las Vegas March 23-27

Peter Biondo and Kyle Seipel bring the K&N Spring Fling Million back to the Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway March 23-27, 2021.

LAS VEGAS – The K&N Spring Fling Million presented by Optima Batteries returns to Las Vegas March 23-27, 2021 after COVID restrictions forced the event to be rescheduled last season. Promoters Peter Biondo and Kyle Seipel are beyond excited to bring the Spring Fling Million home to Las Vegas.

“On a scale of 1 to 10, I would say a 10,” Peter stated.  “We have been chomping at the bit to bring it back to Vegas.  Since the announcement, Kyle and I have been getting a ton of calls from racers across the country.  The excitement is in the air for sure.“

“Jeff Foster from LVMS called me and his first three words were, hey, good news.  I felt like a kid on Christmas morning.  We got through 2020 with having to shuffle events like the rest of the world.  The call was a sign that our world is finally heading back to normalcy.” Peter Biondo discussing the call that confirmed the Spring Fling Million was a go.

After a record-setting Spring Fling Million in 2019, the original date in 2020 fell in the middle of the nation-wide COVID shutdown. This forced Peter and Kyle to reschedule not only the date but the venue. The Spring Fling Million was ultimately moved to Bristol Dragway in September. In the prestigious final round, two of the best racers in the country, Scotty Richardson and Nick Folk, battled for the big check and all the glory. In a race determined by .003-second, Scotty Richardson claimed the $375,000 victory and added his name to the legendary list of Spring Fling Million winners.

When asked if it means more to have the Spring Fling Million in Vegas, Peter said, “Absolutely.  It’s the biggest Fling event we have and it fits right in with the Las Vegas vibe and venue.  I can’t think of another place where the winner is escorted from the winners circle to a limo then straight to a luxury suite at the strip to celebrate.  In 2016, when we first announced that we were having the Spring Fling Million in Vegas, some racers questioned our decision but when they arrive at the facility they get it.”

2021 Spring Fling Million

With excitement building and racers making travel arrangements, the 2021 Spring Fling Million will look much like the record-setting 2019 event with a few changes. “For the most part we duplicated our 2019 Spring Fling Million model, which was our biggest Fling event ever,” Peter explained. “We do have more racer appreciation prizes than we ever had before which is always a plus.  One big change is that we are allowing PRO (No-Box) to be an all run field.  Also, we are not doing pre-entries for any of our events in 2021.  Racers can simply show up and pay at the gate.  It could be our biggest Spring Fling Million ever.”

The 2021 event format includes three big $30,000 to win races on Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday with the Spring Fling Million scheduled for Friday. There will also be an American Race Cars shootout on Tuesday and the Brodix Run for the $50,000 on Friday morning. For just $690 racers can enter all three $30,000 events while a $2,000 entry fee will give them the change at winning $1,000,000. The Million is guaranteed to pay $250,000 no matter the car count while it will take just 475 entries to pay a cool million.

A few additions to the event this year include the Vegas Travel Friendly rule that allows double entries. This allows racers to reduce travel expenses as two drivers can share one car. Another change for 2021 is pre-entries have been lifted. All Fling events in 2021 will allow gate entries so racers are not required to hand over entry fees months in advance of the event. Racers can show up and pay at the gate!

A result of eliminating pre-entry is the field is now all-run. This also applies to the Gearwrench Pro field which will be all-run for the first time in Fling history. The Pro field (No-Box) will race separately until only one racer remains. That racer will collect a bonus and join the next round of Super Pro.

Spring Fling Million Prizes and Specialty Awards

In addition to the event purse, the Spring Fling offers so much more. Daily winners will receive a custom event champion Sparco jacket and hat, the Spring Fling Million champion will be escorted in a limo to a luxury suite at the Cosmopolitan, and there will be over $60,000 in product giveaways throughout the week.

Racers will also be eligible for the Barton Designs Best Appearing Car award, there will be a reaction time challenge where 25 randomly chosen racers will have the chance to win $$$, daily .000 awards from Computech, dead-on zero awards from FST Carburetors, and the Kidd Performance Bounty Reward. The racer who defeats Wednesday’s winner will win a free entry into Friday’s Spring Fling Million courtesy of Kidd Performance. Gearwrench Pro racers will also get to dip into the Gearwrench treasure chest for additional prizes. There’s even a last man standing Calcutta for the Million that pays $10,000 courtesy of Figspeed.

We could go on as there are even more ways to win big at the K&N Spring Fling Million presented by Optima Batteries. For the racer that’s never experienced the Spring Fling, Peter said, “Hang on!  It’s action packed from the time you pull in the gates until the time you leave.  Expect smiling faces and a professional staff that is there to make sure you feel like you get a good value for your money and time.  The racing is only half of what the Fling is about.  The experience is the other half.”
