Built on the foundation of the past with a focus to the future, the Upper Midwest Sprint Car Series (UMSS) and its Renegades Racing Brand diminishes the influence of “the almighty dollar” and returns the emphasis to driver skill and nerve while fostering a culture of inclusion and support among all participants and their families.
“Am I the only one who thinks the UMSS Traditional Sprint Car Series is the best kept secret in open wheel racing?” This quote from the late Bryan Gapinski was published in a national trade magazine toward the beginning of our journey. No longer are we the best kept secret. The UMSS is in high demand and the brand that is based off the series – the Renegades Racing Brand – has multiple series with well over 100 teams competing.
What started with four cars in 2011, now encompasses multiple series and well over 100 teams. We are the fastest growing sprint car organization in the country. The Renegades Racing Brand provides a sustainable set of rules and a culture that allows the average person with a family, job and mortgage to fulfill their dream of driving a sprint car. For between $8,000-$10,000, and sometimes less, you can build or buy a competitive, safe car and live your dream on the track. Compare the cost of a Renegades Racing sprint car to local street stocks that cost $25,000-$30,000 to be competitive. In addition, our “flat” purse (no points or point fund strategies), creates a culture of inclusion unlike any other in the sport.
