Three Drivers Pick Up First Wins of Season

Fans celebrated Memorial Day weekend at Natural Bridge Speedway Saturday night with five outstanding feature events. Racing resumed at the speedway after Mother Nature washed out all activities last weekend. The week off gave drivers and fans alike time to catch their breath and regroup before kicking off the summer racing season.

The All-American cars kick off the night’s racing program with a pair of 10 lap heat races. The preliminary events were won by Jeremy Pooley and James Campbell. Both drivers led all 10 laps to claim the victory and earn a front row starting position for the feature event. The pole position would prove to be crucial for Pooley later in the night as he would lead flag to flag in the 20 lap feature. Leading flag to flag was easier said than done for Pooley during the highly contested event. While Pooley was holding down the number one position, James Campbell, Brian Newton, Ryan Kassab, and Jeff Mays were battling door to door and nose to tail lap and lap. Their battle would be for the runner-up position as Pooley held on to claim his third victory of the season. Newton claimed the second spot, followed by Mays, Kassab, and Campbell.

Toby Stalnaker started on the pole in the sportsman feature and never looked back. Stalnaker picked up his first career sportsman victory by leading all 25 laps. Stalnaker, a long time competitor and supporter of Natural Bridge Speedway, moved up to the sportsman division for the 2010 season. Third starting Clifton Mays moved into second on lap four and stayed within striking distance throughout the event. Coming off turn four on the final lap, Mays made one last charge at Stalnaker but came up just short. Robert Steen had another solid run finishing third, followed by Eric Groah in fourth and Shad Cooper rounded out the top five.

Stephen Campbell also found victory lane for the first time in 2010 in the street stock feature. Campbell got the jump on Tom Guthrie heading into turn one at the drop of the green flag and kept the field in his rear view mirror until the checkered flag waved. A number of cautions slowed the 25 lap feature but each restart Campbell was able to fend off any challenge by his closest competitor. David Brogan slipped by Guthrie on lap 11 and went on to finish in the runner-up spot. Guthrie crossed the stripe in third. Neil Murray passed Scottie Hostetter for fourth on the final lap.

Gerald Wolfe, Jr. set a blistering pace in the late model feature event. It took just under 10 minutes for Wolfe to complete all 35 laps in the caution free feature. Wolfe lapped all but the top five machines. Just two weeks ago Wolfe suffered heavy left front suspension damage on his car. Wolfe and his crew used the extra week off to rebuild his racer to near perfection. He crossed the finish line over five seconds ahead of second place Ricky Wells. After starting on the outside pole, David Bennett fell back to third. Ricky Knight, the current point leader and defending track champion, came home fourth. Timmy Stalnaker had another solid run to round out the top five.

The pure stock feature event is always a fan favorite at Natural Bride Speedway and Saturday night was no exception as the top four finishers would all cross the line within one second. Todd Garrett became the third driver of the night to pick up his first victory of 2010. Garrett and Ronnie Martin led the field to the green flag. Garrett took command of the race heading into turn one but had to fend off a number of challenges from Martin to earn the right to go to victory lane. Martin had his hands full with Justin Williams in the closing laps but Martin was able to hold on for second. Williams settled for third, followed by Ricky Mayberry in fourth and Lee Brooks in fifth.

The Steel Block Bandit Late Model Series will make its first of two visits to Natural Bridge Speedway this Saturday night, June 5th. Drivers from Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and North Carolina are expected to invade the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia to compete for the $2,000 winner’s check. Gates will open this weekend at 3:30 p.m., with hot laps scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Fans can see many of the drivers and their machines that will compete in the Steel Block Bandits race earlier in the afternoon at Heritage Hall’s Race Day & Community Fair from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Heritage Hall in Lexington, Virginia.

Groah Goes Back to Back, Wins Sportsman Special

Natural Bridge Speedway’s hottest driver continued to impress Saturday night in his quest for his first career championship. Eric Groah went to victory lane for the second straight week as he collected the $500 winner’s check in the 50 lap sportsman special event. The consistent Groah has finished in the top five in each of the first six events of the 2010 season. His win on Saturday night vaulted him into the point lead in the sportsman division.

Groah kicked the evening off by setting fast time in hot lap qualifying. He turned a lap of 17.595 seconds with an average speed of 77.749 miles per hour. However, as a result of winning the prior week, Groah had to start sixth on the grid. Timmy Mays and Clifton Mays led the field to green with Clifton Mays getting the jump into turn one to take the lead. While Mays was setting the pace out front, Groah was working his way through the field. Groah moved into third on lap eight and into the second spot on lap fifteen. Lap after lap he would follow the tracks of Mays waiting for a mistake by the leader. With Groah challenging Mays for the lead on lap forty, the two leaders entered turns one and two when Mays suddenly lost traction. Mays retired from the event with a broken axle. Groah inherited the lead and went on to claim his second straight victory. Timmy Mays finished in the runner-up spot. Shad Cooper, who started seventh, had his first top three finish of the season. Toby Stalnaker finished fourth and Robert Steen rounded out the top five.

Neil Murray, making just his third start of the season, used his outside front row starting position to take the lead on lap one and never look back. Stephen Campbell made Murray work for the win as he stayed within a car length or two throughout the 25-lap feature event. Campbell used every groove on the speedway searching for a way around Murray but came up short when the checkers fell. Murray picked up his second win of the season. Following Murray to the finish were Campbell, Charles Wyant, Lester Lyons, and Earl Brooks. The street stock feature was red flagged on lap four when Don Lugar slammed into the turn one guardrail and flipped several times. Lugar was transported to a local hospital as a precautionary measure.

Fourteen late models were on hand to battle for the victory in their 35-lap feature event. Gerald Wolfe, Jr. was the fastest qualifier earlier in the evening but drew a number 5 for the inversion. The front row of David Watts and Ricky Knight brought the field to green with Knight getting the jump on the outside. Knight, the current point leader and defending champion, led from flag to flag to claim his second victory of the season and extend his point lead over J.R. Overstreet. Overstreet entered the night’s racing action third in the standings but, after another solid top five finish, now finds himself in the runner-up spot. Overstreet moves past Wolfe in the standing after Wolfe lost his left front wheel on lap eleven and dropped out of the event. In Victory Lane, Knight donated his winnings to the Make-A-Wish-Foundation. Ricky Wells scored his best finish of the season coming home second. Rounding out the top five were David Watts, David Bennett, and J.R. Overstreet.

Justin Williams found his way back to victory lane in the pure stock feature event. Williams started seventh and quickly worked his way to the front of the field. Jimmy Baber started on the pole and led the first ten laps before surrendering the lead to Williams. Four laps later, Ronnie Martin, Jr. worked his way past Baber for the second position. Martin then began his pursuit of Williams. Williams had other ideas as he pulled away from Martin and cruised across the finish line nearly three seconds ahead of Martin. Jimmy Baber held on for third, followed by Derrick Ayers in fourth and Fred Giles in fifth. Unofficially, Martin leads Williams in the point standings by one point.

Brian Newton has had nothing but bad luck so far this season in the All-American division but all of that changed Saturday night. Newton knew it was going to be a good night when he pulled the pole position for the feature event. Newton won the drag race into turn one and was able to keep the rest of the field in his rearview mirror the entire distance. The top five were nose to tail dicing it up throughout the 20 lap event. Brandon Link came home second followed by Jeremy Pooley, James Campbell, and Ryan Kassab. The top five drivers were separated by just over one second as they crossed the finish line.

Natural Bridge Speedway will have regular feature events for all five divisions coming up this Saturday night. The street stock division, who had one of their feature events rained out earlier in the season will also compete in preliminary heat races. Gates are scheduled to open at 4:00 p.m. with the driver’s meeting beginning at 6:00 p.m.

One for the Record Books at Natural Bridge Speedway

It was a sports writer’s dream come true at Natural Bridge Speedway Saturday night as there was no shortage of headlining stories to follow throughout the night. Dirt track fans were treated to an action packed night that saw a veteran racer win at Natural Bridge for the first time in over forty years, a sportsman driver honor his late mother with a victory on Mother’s Day weekend, and a late model driver win for the first time ever on a dirt track.

The first feature of the night will be one dirt track fans will not soon forget. In recent years, the street stock division has been dominated by the rising stars of dirt track racing but on this night an old timer would make his way back to victory lane for the first time since 1969. Lester Lyons, who’s racing career spans some five decades, started on the outside pole and led every lap of the 25-lap feature event.

Lyons was challenged throughout the event by David Brogan, who was making his first start of the season, but Lyons would not be denied in his quest to return to victory lane. Though Lyons picked up a victory last season at Eastside Speedway, the historic win was his first at Natural Bridge Speedway in forty-one years. The top five finishers were Lyons, Brogan, Charles Wyant, Scottie Hostetter, and Tom Guthrie. Lyons’ win also puts him atop the points standings in the street stock division.

The top two drivers in the sportsman division point standings once again found themselves battling for the win. Third starting Eric Groah quickly flexed his muscle and took command of the race in the opening laps of the sportsman feature. Last week’s winner, Clifton Mays, started ninth but quickly moved into the runner-up spot. A determined Groah fought off handling problems late in the race to hang onto the lead and cruise to victory over Mays, Toby Stalnaker, Keith Nelson, and Robert Steen. It was an emotional Mother’s Day weekend victory for Groah who lost his mother 7 months to the day Saturday night. Mays has just a three point lead over Groah in the point standings.

If there was ever any doubt about the loyalty of the fans at Natural Bridge Speedway, those doubts were laid to rest Saturday night. On an unseasonably cool night, fans endured an hour long delay in the racing program when a fuse blew on a main transformer at the track. Repairs were made and the late models took to the track for their feature event.

Walker Arthur, of Forest, was the fastest qualifier in hot lap qualifying. Arthur then drew a three for the inversion. The inversion put Philip Woods on the pole for the feature event and he took full advantage of the prime starting position. Woods jumped to the lead at the drop of the green flag and never looked back. Arthur kept his mount within striking distance but Woods never faltered. The win was Woods first career victory on dirt. Following Woods and Arthur across the finish line were J.R. Overstreet, David Bennett, and David Keith. Defending track champion Ricky Knight continues to lead the late model standings.

Fifteen was the number of the night in the pure stock division. Fifteen drivers took the green flag for the feature and at the end of the night it was car number fifteen in victory lane. Ronnie Martin, Jr. not only picked up his first win of the season but he also took over the point lead for the pure stocks. Justin Williams, who entered the night riding a two race win streak and an 11 point lead over Howard Hall in the standings, broke an axle coming off turn two on the opening lap and was forced to retire from the event. Hall also experience problems during the feature and finished deep in the field. This set the stage for Martin to have the perfect night and he would not disappoint. Todd Garrett would stay within a car length or two during the feature but could never seriously challenge Martin for the lead. The final rundown was Martin, Garrett, Lee Brooks, Ricky Mayberry, and Will Slagle.

The all-American cars rounded out the night’s racing program. Jeremy Pooley, who started deep in the field, survived the caution filled event to claim his second victory of the young season. Brian Newton, who started outside the top ten, chased Pooley throughout the 20-lap feature but never could mount a charge to overtake Pooley. The top five were Pooley, Newton, Ryan Kassab, Dustin Ferguson, and Matt Breeden. Pooley’s win tightens the point battle at the top of pure stock division.

The spotlight will shine on the sportsman division next Saturday night at Natural Bridge Speedway. Sportsman drivers will compete in a 50-lap, $500 to win feature event. The late models, street stocks, pure stocks, and all-American cars will also be on hand competing in regular feature events. Gates will open at 4 p.m., driver’s meeting at 6 p.m., with on track activities beginning at 6:15 p.m.

Coverts Cruises to Super Late Model Victory

Jason Covert, of York Haven, PA, dominated the 35-lap Three State Flyer super late model feature event Saturday night at Natural Bridge Speedway. Covert, who won earlier in the season at Hagerstown Speedway, became the first repeat winner for the series in 2010. Piloting the Barry Klinedinst-owned Rocket Chassis, Covert picked up $3,000 for his efforts and extended his lead atop the Three State Flyer standings.

Twenty-seven super late models signed into the pit area to do battle on the 3/8 mile dirt oval. Three preliminary heat races took place to set the starting line-up for the feature event. The top six drivers would qualify for the A-main, while the top two drivers would move into the Dash for Cash.

Covert started deep in his heat race and used a last lap pass of Natural Bridge’s Timmy Stalnaker to claim the all important second position. The pass qualified Covert for the Dash for Cash used to set the top six starting spots for the feature event. The number 43A of Covert started fourth in the Dash and finished second. The second place finish put Covert on the outside pole for the 35-lap feature. The preliminary heat race winners were DJ Myers, Bo Feathers, and Gerald Davis. DJ Myers also won the Dash for Cash. J.T. Spence was victorious in the B-Main.

Covert jumped to the lead over DJ Myers at the drop of the green flag. Making his first ever visit to Natural Bridge Speedway, Covert looked as if he had raced there all his life. His only challenge throughout the event would be lapped traffic as he began to encounter back markers after just 10 laps. Covert masterfully worked lapped traffic to extend his lead lap after lap. Though Covert was in a league of his own, the action behind him was fierce.

Competitors were two and three wide battling for position throughout the field. DJ Myers held down the second spot until lap 15 when Bo Feathers made his way around Myers. Three laps later, Walker Arthur took over the third spot and started chasing down Feathers. Arthur made a daring three wide move off of turn four late in the race and took over the second spot; however, a caution would wave and negate the pass. Feathers would go on to finish second, and Arthur finished third. Jimmy Bernhisel, who started ninth, rallied to claim fourth. DJ Myers rounded out the top five.

Clifton Mays served notice that he was ready to make a run at the sportsman track championship by winning the sportsman feature event over Eric Groah by the slim margin of 0.486 seconds. Mays, the current point leader, passed Groah for the lead on lap 7 and looked as if he would go unchallenged the last 13 laps. However, Mays’ car encountered handling problems late in the race, opening the door for Groah. Groah was able to pull alongside Mays each lap coming off turn four, but Mays was able to hang on for the win. Groah finished second, followed by 13th place starter Ricky Fox, Timmy Mays, and Robert Steen.

A stout field of street stocks was on hand to compete in the Don Pugh Invitational. The fastest qualifier and last week’s winner, Michael Taylor, used a late race pass coming off turn two to claim the $400 winner’s check. Lester Lyons used his front row starting spot to take the lead heading into turn one. Taylor started fourth and quickly jumped into the second position. Lap after lap Taylor would challenge Lyons, often making contact, for the lead. Lyons was able to keep Taylor in the rear view mirror for most of the race. On lap 23, Taylor made his move coming off turn two and went on to claim his second straight street stock feature event. Lyons held on for second, followed by Stephen Campbell, Bryan Kerns, and Josh Williams.

It took just 10 laps for Justin Williams to work his way to the lead from his 7th starting spot in the pure stock feature event. Williams claimed his second feature event in a row by a margin of 3.243 seconds over Ronnie Martin, Jr. Howard Hall lead the 20-lap feature event from the drop of the green flag with Martin flanking his back bumper lap after lap. Williams steadily moved his way to the front. Hall, Martin, and Williams battled for the lead through the middle stages of the event. Williams took command of the race on lap 10 and never looked back. Martin finally made his way around Hall for second on lap 17 but it was too little too late. Hall crossed the line in third, followed by Lee Brooks in fourth, and Todd Garrett in fifth.

The point battles heat up this coming Saturday night at Natural Bridge Speedway. The speedway will host a regular show for all divisions. Also on tap this coming weekend will be the first bike races for the all kids 12 and under. Gates will open at 4:00 p.m. with the driver’s meeting at 6:00 p.m., and hot laps beginning at 6:15 p.m.

Two Defending Champs Return to Victory Lane at Natural Bridge Speedway

After a week off, the engines roared back to life this past Saturday night at Natural Bridge Speedway. It was a race against Mother Nature as threatening skies covered the Shenandoah Valley throughout the day. Even with the threat of rain, a large field of cars converged on Natural Bridge Speedway to do battle in the third event of the season. At the end of the night, two defending track champions would find victory lane for the first time in 2010, a driver would win for the first time in his career, and the skies would finally open up postponing the final two features of the night.

The first order of business on the night’s racing program was hot lap qualifying for both the late models and pure stock drivers. For the second consecutive time, David Watts topped the charts in the late model division with a lap of 16.510 and an average speed of 82.859 mph. The top five qualifiers were Watts, Matt Marshall, Ricky Knight, Philip Woods, and Greg Roberson. Each week the fastest qualifier draws a number to determine the number of cars to be inverted for the feature event. Watts drew the number 2, landing him on the outside front row on the starting grid with Matt Marshall on the pole. The late model feature event would run later in the evening.

The sportsman division took to the speedway for their 25-lap feature event with Lexington’s Shad Cooper and Timmy Mays on the front row. Cooper led the field into turn one and jumped to the lead. Cooper’s lead would be short lived as Mays flexed his muscle on lap 3 driving by Cooper. Cooper brought the caution out on lap 5 with a spin in turn two. Daniel Snead, who started 7th, would take advantage of the caution to close in on the front runners. Mays held the lead until lap 18 when Snead made his move and took command of the race. Snead, of Waynesboro, led the final 7 laps to claim his first ever feature event win. Following Snead across the line were Timmy Mays, Clifton Mays, Michael Alderman, and Eric Groah.

After a brief rain delay, sixteen late models took the green flag for their 35-lap feature event. Matt Marshall and David Watts brought the field to the green flag with Watts grabbing the lead. The man on the move was Gladstone’s Ricky Knight. The defending champ moved into the second spot on lap 3 and set his sights on Watts. Watts was able to keep Knight at bay until lap 16 when Knight, using the bottom groove, worked his way around Watts. Knight looked as if he would cruise to his first win of the season when the caution flag slowed the field on lap 31. The caution set up a 4 lap shootout between Knight, Watts, Marshall, Roberson, and Gerald Wolfe. On the restart, Knight picked up where he left off, leading the final four laps to claim his first victory of the season. Marshall’s car struggled on the restart and he faded to 10th. The top 5 were Knight, Watts, Roberson, Wolfe, and Philip Woods.

The pure stock division would headline the night’s racing program. Jason Thompson was the fastest driver in hot lap qualifying. Thompson, coming off his victory two weeks ago, would also draw an inversion pill after qualifying. Thompson drew a 6, putting Glen Almond and Lee Brooks on the front row for the 30-lap, $300 to win feature event.

Brooks used his outside starting spot to dive into turn one and take the lead over Almond. Brooks led the first four laps until mechanical problems ended his night. Ricky Mayberry, who took second from Almond on lap two, inherited the lead. Justin Williams also worked his way to the front. He moved into second on lap 4 and started closing in on Mayberry for the lead. Mayberry and Williams would battle door to door for several laps until Williams took the lead on lap 10. A number of cautions would slow the event. Mayberry and Thompson made contact on lap 11 with Mayberry retiring from the event. A caution would fly on lap 19 when the number 88 of Jennings Vest made contact with the outside wall coming off turn two. During the caution, rain began to fall on the speedway. The race was declared official after 19 of 30 laps were complete with Williams, the defending champ, driving into victory lane for the first time this season. Following Williams across the stripe was Almond, Howard Hall, Derrick Ayers, and Todd Garrett.

The street stock and all-American features would fall to Mother Nature as a steady rain fell on the speedway. Their feature events will be made up at a later date.

The Three State Flyer Super Late Model series will make their inaugural visit to Natural Bridge Speedway this Saturday night, May 1st. Many of the top regional drivers will be on hand to compete for the $3,000 winner’s check. Also on the racing program will be a street stock invitational event paying $400 to win. The sportsman and pure stock divisions will also see action. Gates will open at the speedway at 3:30 with on track activities beginning at 5:30.

Five New Winners In Victory Lane At Natural Bridge Speedway

On a night when temperatures were cooling down the racing action was heating up at Natural Bridge Speedway. Saturday night, five new winners picked up their first victories of the young season.

Track conditions were perfect as the late models pulled onto the speedway for their hot lap qualifying session. David Watts set fast time with a lap of 15.831 and an average speed of just over 86 mph. The previous night Watts had qualified his machine for the Steel Block Bandits race in Cumberland, Maryland. However, Watts made the decision to load up and head south to Natural Bridge Speedway, forfeiting his starting position in the Bandits season opener. Watts’ fastest lap would be over a half second faster than Walker Arthur’s fast lap on opening night. The top five qualifiers were Watts, Gerald Wolfe, Philip Woods, David Bennett, and Timmy Stalnaker. Watts, as fastest qualifier, would draw the inversion pill to set the line-up for the feature event. Watts drew a number four, putting Bennett and Woods on the front row for the 35-lap feature.

The late models would see action later in the night’s racing program. The first feature of the night would be the street stocks. Skye Reynolds and Stephen Campbell brought the field to the green flag with Reynolds jumping to lead. His lead was short-lived as veteran racer Lester Lyons took command on the second circuit. Lyons held onto the lead until lap 9 when Campbell took his turn at the front of the pack. Meanwhile, the defending champion, Michael Taylor was steadily moving his way to the front. Taylor moved into second on lap 13 and set his sights on Campbell. Michael Taylor finally got the run he needed to make a move on Campbell for the lead on lap 19

Also on the move to the front was Charles Wyant who started deep in the field. As Taylor and Campbell battled for the lead lap after lap, Wyant joined the two at the front of the field, moving from fourth to second on lap 23. Wyant looked like he was ready to make a run at Taylor but with two laps to go, Wyant lost control of his car entering turn three. Wyant spun off the track setting up a green, white, checkered finish. Taylor’s mount would show signs of heavy smoke during the waning laps but he held on to take the victory over Lyons, Campbell, Troy Fitzgerald, and Earl Brooks. An emotional Taylor commented in victory lane, “I made up my mind I would race when I wanted to this year and not run for points. The car sat all winter so that might be where the smoke came from.”

Clifton Mays and Todd Campbell used their front row starting positions to take control of the sportsman feature event at the drop of the green flag. The two held down the top two positions throughout the entire 25-lap feature. Mays, of Madison Heights, led the event flag to flag with Campbell in hot pursuit. Lexington’s Shad Cooper had a strong run going only to slow with mechanical problems on the tenth lap. After starting shotgun on the field, Timmy Mays worked his way through the field to finish third. Eric Groah, whose car seems to be set up for the long run, made a late race charge to claim his second top five of the season. Rounding out the top five was Toby Stalnaker.
After qualifying earlier in the night, the stage was set for the 35-lap late model feature event. At the drop of the green flag, outside pole sitter Philip Woods seemed to spin his tires and lose traction. Woods would spin sideways in front of the entire field at the flag stand. The front straightaway became a parking lot of crinkled-up late models. Nearly the entire field would suffer some sort of damage from the accident. The machines of Woods, Ricky Wells, and Watts would suffer significant damage that sidelined them from the event.

The restart found two Covington drivers doing battle for the lead. David Bennett started on the pole, but it was Gerald Wolfe who jumped into the lead heading into turn one, never looking back. Wolfe, who also suffered slight right front damage in the opening lap crash, led all 35 laps. Wolfe was followed across the line by defending late model champion Ricky Knight. J.R. Overstreet had another solid run finishing third. Bennett would fade to finish fourth, and rounding out the top five would be Mount Sidney’s John Michael. In victory lane, Wolfe thanked his long time friend and former competitor Wilson Shanks, “Every time we pull onto the race track I thank Wilson. He is the reason we are able to do this. I had not won a race in awhile. This is such a thrill to be back in victory lane.”

A full field of pure stocks was on hand for their 25-lap feature. Jason Thompson, who missed opening night, put his number 5 machine in victory lane the first time out. Thompson started on the front row and took the lead heading into turn one. He was never seriously challenged until the final lap of the feature. Ronnie Martin, who started third and moved into second on lap six, bumped Thompson off of turn two but could not make a move down the back stretch. Ricky Mayberry, last week’s feature winner, was third. Derrick Ayers had his first top five finish of the season. Howard Hall, who moved up to pure stock this season, rounded out the top five. The defending champion, Justin Williams, started deep in the field and rallied to third before running over a piece of debris under caution, suffering a flat right rear tire. He finished 8th.

The final feature event was the All-American division. Jeff Mays, who battled Jeremy Pooley for the victory last Saturday night, put his machine in victory lane with an impressive flag to flag win. Mays was challenged by the number 53 of Ryan Kassab throughout the 20-lap feature. Kassab made a run off of turn 4 on the final lap but came up just short at the checkered flag. Pooley finished third, followed by James Campbell and Robbie Barger.

Natural Bridge Speedway will sit idle next Saturday night. Racing will resume in two weeks, April 24th, with a 30-lap Pure Stock feature event paying $300 to win. On May 1, the Three State Flyer Super Late Model series will invade Natural Bridge Speedway. This will be the first of two super late model races hosted by the speedway during the 2010 season. Some of the nation’ best regional super late model drivers will be on hand.
