First Sunbelt Super Late Model Race, Pete Orr Memorial Orange Blossom 125, to run Saturday, January 31 at NSS

Samsula, Fla. (January 27, 2004) The opening race for the Sunbelt Super Late Model Series is only a few short days away and everyone is in high gear getting ready for the 31st. A good car count is expected in not only Super Late Models but all divisions. This will be the last race before the start of the 2004 World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing Series where racers go for 9 straight nights of racing.

Last year's Pete Orr Memorial Orange Blossom 125 was postponed twice due to frigid weather that moved in on Central Florida. This year the weather is looking much better and a good car count is expected with some of the World Series Super Late Models also joining in on the first Sunbelt race of the year.

Wayne Anderson of Wildwood, the 2003 Sunbelt Super Late Model Champion, will be on hand to defend his 2003 Championship along with second runner-up Jay Middleton. A number of the top ten in points for 2003 are expected to run for the 2004 Championship.

All FASCAR divisions - Late Models, Open Wheel Modifieds, Sportsman, Super Stock, Mini Stock and Strictly Stock will be on the Saturday night program. Plus a few of the cars have arrived early and plan to run Saturday night's features in hopes of gaining more insight into
New Smyrna Speedway.

Saturday, January 31, pit gates will open at noon. Tech will be from 12:30 until 3:00 when practice will begin. Super Late Models will practice first with all other divisions also running practice. Qualifying for the second annual Pete Orr Memorial Orange Blossom 125 will begin at 6 p.m.
