2024 Moser Engineering Spring Fling Million Presented by Optima Batteries Pre-Race
Las Vegas, NV — The first Flings Race Series event of the 2024 season fires up this week at sunny Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the Moser Engineering Spring Fling Million presented by Optima Batteries. From April 2-6 drivers from across the US, Mexico, and Canada will roll the dice out on the track in hopes of hitting the jackpot and ending up in the Fling Winner’s Circle!
Three $30,000-to-win races will be contested on Silver State Refrigeration Wednesday, Laris Motorsports Insurance Thursday, and FTI Performance Saturday with Silver State Refrigeration Friday featuring the Million main event that guarantees a minimum of $200,000 and up to $1,000,000-to-win to Friday’s winner depending on the number of entries.
For the first time ever, race fans can catch all of the action live from our own channel @RaceTheFlings on YouTube. Our in-house camera crew is slated to deliver one of our best broadcasts yet with live timing, a finish-line instant replay camera, starting line camera, exclusive interviews, and more courtesy of Hoosier Tire and JEGS Performance.
The Spring Fling Million Triple $30K’s will look slightly different this year, becoming a single entry format in which a driver can only go down the track once per round. Car sharing is permitted in an effort to make the trip more cost effective for racers traveling out of state. The objective is to maintain reasonable car counts each day to create a more enjoyable time for racers and their families. The Fling Million will remain the same as 2023 where doubles are permitted in an effort to strive for a larger car count to payout ratio.
“Our Fling Team has been working around the clock to improve each event. We are rolling out some changes that we hope will make for a better experience for our racers and for everyone watching from home,” said Flings promoter Peter Biondo.
We are putting on the full Fling experience with over $60,000 in product and cash giveaways for all on property. The drivers with the best losing packages in rounds 1-4 each day receive $500 and a small Fling check on the spot during the Triple $30K’s and $1,000 during Friday’s main event. The Fling Kids Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday will have great prizes for the whole family like Razor scooters, RC cars, toys, and gift cards for moms of little Flingers.

Dylan Hough Goes Back-To-Back To Win 2024 American Race Cars Dragster Shootout at the Spring Fling Million Las Vegas, NV — Day one of the Moser Engineering Spring Fling Million presented by Optima Batteries at Las Vegas Motor Speedway gave racers the opportunity to shake down their cars and sharpen their tune-up before a crucial week of racing ahead on Advanced Product Design Tuesday.
Four hundred drivers participated in the test and tune session that ran in conjunction with the eliminations of a 32-Car Shootout where the winner would walk away with a 2024 American Race Cars complete rolling chassis valued at $60,000. For the first time in the shootout’s history, the dragster featured a Riggeal’s carbon fiber one-piece body.
The eight remaining drivers in shootout competition included Garrett Griffith, Matt Grayson, Dylan Hough, Clinton Fossceco, Timmy Markoglu, Hank Pramov, Mitchell Marcy, and Shane Carr. Griffith was .013 total in his ‘02 S-10 to knock out Grayson, while Fossceco turned it just one thousandth red to 2023 Tuesday Shootout champion Hough. Pramov was .006 and dead-on seven to eliminate Markoglu. In the last pair, Marcy was .013 and .001 under needing to take .005 or less to the .014 dead-on four of Carr.
In the semifinals round where two door cars and two dragsters remained, Griffith laid down an even better lap after putting together .009 total to the .017 package of Carr. Pramov had a .005 advantage at the hit but broke out by six thousandths to advance Hough’s .019 package.
The door car versus dragster shootout final was a matchup of east coast and west coast young-guns and former Fling event winners. Hough used a .014 package to stop Griffith’s streak of spectacular runs to capture the Tuesday 32-Car Shootout victory for the second year in a row, also following his $100,000 Saturday win at the 2023 Spring Fling Million.
Race fans can tune in tomorrow at 8 a.m. PST for Round 1 of the Silver State $30K. Everything will be streamed live from our own channel @RaceTheFlings on YouTube.

Las Vegas, NV — Silver State Wednesday at the Moser Engineering Spring Fling Million presented by Optima Batteries at Las Vegas Motor Speedway saw nearly 400 single-entered racers stage up for the first of three $30,000 events for the week. Clear skies and temperatures in the mid-70s made for a full day of great racing ahead.
The two finalists in the Laris Motorsports Insurance Pro Field included Karisa Windley in her ‘67 Camaro and Chad Sandlin in the former Fling event-winning ‘85 S-10. Windley was consistently double “00” to teen on the tree in the later rounds and used a substantial reaction time advantage against Sandlin to secure the Pro champion trophy and $1,000 bonus check.
The quarter final lineup included Greg Hicks on a solo, Josh Luedke versus Pro Bonus winner Karisa Windley, and Ken Sweo against Sean Shaffer. Luedke advanced past Windley after running closer to the dial, while Shaffer was .018 total to the .018 bulb of Sweo to move on. Hicks put up the best reaction of the round, a .001, on his bye run.
Five thousandths separated Hicks and Luedke at the hit, and by way of Luedke’s .001 breakout Hicks earned a place in the final. In his solo shot down the track Shaffer turned it just one thousandth red to lose lane choice.
In a heavyweight match up of west coast hitters, Hicks bowed out with a .003 redlight in what would have been his first Fling event win. Shaffer was .010 and took a free ride to $30,000 which made for his second trip to a Vegas Fling winner’s circle after a $50K win at the 2020 Fall Fling West.
