Twin 75’s For Late Models Plus Southeast Limited Late Model Series At Greenville-Pickens This Saturday

EASLEY, S.C. – (May 12th, 2016) -The month of May builds to fever pitch this Saturday night at Greenville-Pickens Speedway in Greenville, South Carolina with 300 laps of late model racing scheduled at the historic half-mile.

The Southeast Limited Late Model Series returns to the track with their Pro (100-lap) and Daytona1 Challenger (50-lap) divisions for two big main events, and the twin 75-lap program for the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series late model stock cars also on the schedule along with the track’s pure stock division.

Since the announcement of this combined late model spectacular, race teams have been calling wanting to understand rules differences and such to see about running in both the series and the NASCAR portions of the show.

“We may just have some limited late models who decide to change over for the twin 75’s and vice-versa,” track promoter Anthony Anders said. “Because we haven’t made our track limited class a NASCAR sanctioned division, our late model teams who meet the eligibility requirements of the Southeast Limited Late Model Series can run both classes without giving up their NASCAR eligibility, which has had some people talking this week so we’ll see who decides to take advantage of the opportunity.” (more…)
