It will be another big evening of racing action Saturday night at Auburndale Speedway as the Late Models return for their latest showdown in the AMF Chassis/Chassis Works 100. Also on tap will be the Modified Mini Stocks, Street Stocks, Mini Stocks, Legend Cars, Scramblers, V-8 Bombers and Bandoleros.

Fans are invited to come out for a special practice session on Friday night.

All fans are welcome to come in the pit area, see the cars up close and meet the drivers. Practice will begin at 5PM and continue until 8PM. At that time everyone is invited to enjoy free hot dogs, hamburgers, beer and drinks along with a live Country band courtesy of Elkins Automotive. Admission to the pits is just $10 and the practice session is not just for Late Models, but all Auburndale racing classes. Kart racing will also be going taking place on the dirt track at the front of the Speedway beginning at 8PM, so fans will have plenty to do.

Grandstand gates will open at 5PM on Saturday with qualifying for all classes beginning at 5:30PM. Racing will commence at 7PM.

Tim Russell is expected to return to try and make it two wins in a row after taking the AMF Chassis 100 a few weeks ago leading flag to flag. Jeff Choquette will be making his first-ever start at Auburndale Speedway in the Fountain Motorsports entry and is one among several top drivers looking for a big win. Jeff Scofield, Kevin Ingram, Tyler Laing, Perry Lovelady, Joe Boyd, Ron Lofquist, Jason Vail, Raymond Lovelady, Jimmy Casselberry and David King are just of few of the other drivers expected to be in action.

Scofield currently leads Vail by 44 points in the Late Model standings while Ingram is just two behind Vail.

The Modified Mini Stocks return this week with Scotty Sharpe still on top of the point list by 34 over Jason Rendell while Mike Sweet sits 48 points out of first. Lee Davis and his new car dominated the last time out, so the top three in points are looking to find a way to get to the checker first.

The Street Stocks, Mini Stocks and Scramblers all had a rare weekend off last week so look for plenty of slam-bang action in those classes this week.

Matt McCrary is now back on top of the Street Stock point standings but by just four ahead of Jeff Waterman. Dave Colpritt continues to inch his way closer to the top and is now just 36 markers back of the leader. Defending Street Stock champion James Wright III still has plenty of work to do if he plans a repeat performance of 2009, sitting 102 points behind McCrary.

The Mini Stock point battle continues to be a close one as Chris Spring has re-taken the top spot from Fred Harrison, Jr., but only by two points. Chris Narramore, Sr. is third, 20 behind Spring and Donnie Guy remains within shouting distance some 38 points back of the leader.

The Scrambler point chase has tightened up with Brian Tyre now just four tallies behind leader Kim Gullett. Chad Cutting remains third in Scrambler points but is 60 out of first right now.

With yet another win last week, Gerald White, Jr. has opened up a bit more ground in the Legend Car points, now leading Jake Perkins by 24 and third place Justin Brown by 32.

Buddy Phillips, Jr. did not race last week and that has allowed Josh Borem to pull out to a big 106 point advantage in the V-8 Bomber standings. Meanwhile, Cameron White has an already huge lead in the Bandolero Bandit points of 286 over Derek Sobel. Teddy Lively has now taken over the Bandolero Outlaw point lead by 16 over Andy Metz.
