A special night on the Southern Raceway calendar, Saturday’s showdown is Military Appreciation Night at the races. Anyone showing their Military ID, both retired and active, will be admitted free of charge into the grandstands.

Leading the way into the weekend is defending series champion, Michael Miller, who holds a 62 point advantage over Brian Bell with Lane Whittington trailing by 83 markers in third. Kyle Amerson fourth is 90 points removed from the lead with Nick Snyder making up the top-five.
