MSTRC bowling tournament returns to Owosso’s Capitol Bowl Feb. 18

OWOSSO – The Michigan Short Track Racing Club (MSTRC) is proud to announce the ninth annual MSTRC Bowling Tournament will once again be held at the Capitol Bowl in downtown Owosso on Saturday, Feb. 18.

The annual bowling tournament and bench racing extravaganza for the short track racing community in the state of Michigan was started in 2004 as a way to get together over the winter and bowl for a great cause. For the past eight years, the MSTRC Bowling Tournament has proven to be one of the biggest fundraisers dedicated to the short track racing industry in Michigan for racing families in need. This year’s tournament will once again benefit two well-known family members of the racing community.

New for the 9th annual MSTRC Bowling Tournament are the starting times throughout the tournament. Sign-in and lane assignments begin at 4 p.m., with optional “hot laps” / practice beginning at 4:30p.m. Practice will end at 5:30p.m. Then after the random drawing for partners, followed by the invocation and National Anthem, the tournament will start at approximately 6 p.m. A $10.00 donation is all it costs to join in on the fun and all participants will bowl two games. Participants don’t even have to bowl with their partner. Everyone can still bowl with the group they came with on one or more lanes.

Everyone is encouraged to come out and support this annual event. There will be numerous door prizes to be given away throughout the evening as well as 50/50 drawings and several special prizes to be distributed. The MSTRC Bowling Tournament Awards Ceremony will be held approximately 45-60 minutes after the completion of bowling in the alleys’ adjacent lounge, The Capitol Bowl Hot Spot.

Capitol Bowl is located at 219 South Washington Street behind the J.C. Penny’s store and Roma’s Back Door Pizzeria and directly across the street from Jumbo’s Bar and Grill in Downtown Owosso.
