Race fans will once again have action aplenty Saturday night at Auburndale Speedway as the track concludes the month of March with an eight division racing program.<\/p>\n

The Open Wheel Modifieds make their third appearance of the year along with the Modified Mini Stocks, V-8 Bombers, Mini Stocks, Scramblers, Legend Cars and Bandoleros. The Pro Challenge Cars are also slated for their season debut.<\/p>\n

Racing has been nothing short of phenomonal in the Modified class this year. With so many competitive cars, the entire top ten in points are separated by just 25 markers going into this weeks 40 lap event.<\/p>\n

Big Wayne Morris is expected to have a new powerplant under the hood of his #98 this week as he looks for his first feature win of the year. Morris leads the point chase by just five over Harold “Boom Boom” Cannon while Cannon is just one point ahead of third place Von Pope who, in turn, is just one digit ahead of fourth place Kevin Macy.<\/p>\n

Another class that is showing tons of competition each week are the Mini Stocks. Chris Spring, the only driver to win twice this year in the class, holds a 14 point edge over both Chris Narramore, Sr. and Fred Harrison, Jr. who are tied for second. Donnie Guy is fourth, some eight points back of the second place duo.<\/p>\n

Jason Rendell is two for two so far this year in the Modified Mini Stocks and is looking for a hat trick Saturday night. Consequently, Rendell tops the point battle by four right now over second place Scotty Sharpe.<\/p>\n

Josh Borem has finished no worse than second in any of the V-8 Bomber features so far this year and that has him a solid 36 markers in front of second place Buddy Phillips, Jr.<\/p>\n

The Scramblers return to action this week with Matt Johns holding a 28 point advantage over Kimberly Gullett.<\/p>\n

Legend Car action has been dominated by “No Brake” Jake Perkins who has scored back-to-back victories and he leads second place drivers Gerald White, Jr. and Mason Ketterman by eight points going into racing action this week.<\/p>\n

The Sunshine Region of the Performance Pro Challenge Series will also do battle Saturday evening. This will be the Series’ second race of the year. Ryan Rust of Port St. Lucie won the season opener at Citrus County Speedway two weeks ago over Jarrett Snowden and Paul White.<\/p>\n

Pit gates open this Saturday at 2PM, grandtands open at 5PM and racing starts at 7PM.<\/p>\n
