Tire Shortage causes the Full Throttle 100 at Citrus County Speedway to be pushed back until November 6th

 

 

ATTENTION!!!
Due to ongoing tire shortages throughout the USA we have been forced to push back the $10,000 to WIN Full Throttle 100 to November 6th. We are hoping to be in a better position on tires by then! We hate making this decision but it is one that is out of our control! We will still be racing Sept 18th and have added the Outlaw Street Stocks (Non Points) and the School Bus Figure 8’s to the show! We hope everyone understands that this is out of our control and we hope everyone will support our show later in the year!

It seemed to be like the longest Summer Break ever, and you could tell racers and fans alike were ready to get back to weekly racing action.   Auburndale Speedway had packed pit’s and Grand Stands as everyone was ready to get back to racing.  It was a stout field of pro trucks for the Florida Pro Truck Challenge Series race with 20 trucks in the pits.  It was a great race with side by side action through the field.   When the dust settled Becca Monopoli would take the win in the 50 lap feature.
