Auburndale Speedway completes its first month of racing action with a six division program Saturday night.
The Sportsman cars make their second appearance of the year. Veteran Dave Dunkin leads the points on the strength of his win two weeks ago.
Also back for their second race of the year are the Modified Mini Stocks. Jason Rendell won on opening night and thus leads the point chase heading intothis weeks racing.
Things are extremely close in the Mini Stock class with point leader Chris Spring just two points ahead of Chris Narramore, Sr. and four markers in front of defending champion Fred Harrison, Jr. All three drivers have scored a win already this season.
The Street Stocks are back in action once again this week with Jeff Waterman currently on top of the points battle by six tallies over rookie Matt McCrary.
In the V-8 Bombers, Josh Borem is undefeated so far this year with two of those wins coming because the apparent winner of the race was found illegal in tech. Borem holds an 18 point lead right now over second place Buddy Phillips, Jr.
The Scramblers will round out the action Saturday night. Matt Johns already has a rather comfy 58 point lead just three weeks into the racing season.
This Saturday, pit gates open at 2PM, grandstands at 5PM and racing starts promptly at 7PM. A new policy is in effect regarding pit passes. All persons wanting to purchase a pit pass who are not with a race car must purchase those passes at the front ticket window. This is to allow things to move much
quicker at the pit ticket booth.
