The battle for the 2017 FASTRAK SE Championship after the first four races of the season has Hicks leading with 122 points and a slim two point advantage over Jensen Ford of Piney Flats, TN, who is second with 120 points.

CARS Tour Announces Format for SLM $10,000 to Win Mid Atlantic Classic at Orange County Speedway July 22

Mooresville, NC 6/13/17- Just prior to the CARS Tour first race of 2017 at Orange County Speedway on June 24th, the series is proud to announce the format for the $10,000 to win Mid Atlantic Classic on July 22nd. The major event at North Carolina’s fastest 3/8th mile track will feature 100 green flag laps for Late Model Stocks and 150 green flag laps with four different segments for the Super Late Models. The first three segments will pay $500 to win with the final segment paying $10,000.

The inaugural Puryear Tank Lines-Thrifty Tire Centers “Mid Atlantic Classic” pres. by The Grilling Store will award $10,000 to the winner and a minimum of $1,000 to each competitor taking the green flag. Along the way each segment will pay $500 to win on lap 35, 100, and 135. The eight tire optional race will allow competitors a choice to change zero, one, two, three, or four tires under a five minute break period, before being lined up in position based on their strategic tire change choice. In addition, the winners of each segment will be awarded a guaranteed top eight starting position in the final fifteen lap segment to the finish, with the exact positioning to be determined by tires taken.

“I love this format and how it creates strategy and choice for the race teams. It’s very similar to what they use to do at SpeedFest, down in Cordele, for those that were familiar with that format. The only difference is we are creating the opportunity to make that tire change at the conclusion of each segment,” explained Chris Ragle, CARS Tour Series Director. “I think this format creates hard racing early rather than just at the end. A driver could easily win the first segment settle in and make a strategic tire move to battle for the win. The winning move could be winning that first segment. Another plus for Super Late Model competitors is that we only increased the entry fee by $50, that’s it. Everything else is the same price as a normal event. If that’s value, and big money bang for your buck I don’t know what is.”

The CARS Tour will host a 150 lap tune up race at Orange County Speedway on Saturday June 24th in Rougemont, North Carolina for Late Model Stock and Super Late Models leading up to the big event. Entry forms, event schedule, and advance ticket purchase for the Puryear Tank Lines-Thrifty Tire Centers “Mid Atlantic Classic” pres. by The Grilling Store are available at www.carsracingtour.com. Tickets are $17 in advance and $25 at the gate for this major event.

97.5 FM JUNE JAM TWIN 50’S FOR PRO TRUCKS AND SPORTSMAN SET FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AT AUBURNDALE SPEEDWAY

After a rain out last week Auburndale Speedway will return to action Saturday evening with a pair of 50-lap races for the Sunshine State Challenge Series (SSCS) Sportsman cars and the Pro Trucks. The “June Jam Twin-50s” are being presented by WPCV 97 Country radio. Also on the card will be the Mod Minis, Q Auto & Injury Attorneys Mini Stocks and Scramblers. The Speedway Concession Stand will be featuring a special fried bologna sandwich for just $4 while supplies last.

The Sportsman cars will be led again by SSCS Sportsman point leader Aaron Williamson who has a big lead in the standings over second place Cody Allen while Jason Rendell is third in the standings just ahead of Donnie Ollie, Jr. and Devin McLeod. Travis Roland was the surprise winner here last month after his car owner Dave Colpritt decided at the last moment to enter his car. It remains to be seen if the pair will try and make it two in a row this week. Other possible entries include Brandon Martin, Jacob Berkevich, Rick Reed, Bobby Mobley, A. J. Olender, Steven O’Steen, Adam Briggs, Craig Cuzzone, Chris Lewellen and the recently un-retired Howard O’Steen.

Tommy Kelly continues to have a big season in the SSCS Pro Trucks and now has a ten point edge in the standings on Cody McDuffie as it looks like this will probably be the battle for championship as the pair has a considerable advantage over Cody Martell, Becca Monopoli and Jason Lester who are third through fifth in the standings. Monopoli was the most recent winner here back on May 20th. Other expected entries include Kristen Clements, Dakota Hunt, Danny Anderson, Adam Briggs, Donnie Burkhalter, Nick Haag, Tyler Davis, Billy Carlbert, Jr., Cody Carlbert, William Kerns and James Armas.
