(Photos by Charles Wickam) – With respect to unpredictable action, it doesn’t get much better than winged sprint cars. Charles Wickam was at Battleground Speedway in Texas last weekend to shoot the American Sprint Car Series race at the facility. We”re going to run his whole gallery of a couple hundred photos a little later today, but for now, we wanted to share the best of the wreckage photos he caught. The high horsepower, short wheelbase sprint cars spin, roll, and fly like no other race cars on Earth.

As you will see below, some of the greatest aerobatics in motorsports are performed by these direct drive, alky swilling, small block powered hellions. With those huge open wheels and a propensity to go any which way but straight, adventures are a guarantee at sprint car races! Lucas Oil and MAV TV are the primary sponsors of the American Sprint Car Series.
