A GAMBLERS Option has been added for the division SPECIAL of the week. The April 27th opener has all divisions racing plus the Wingless 600 Sprints Special $500 to Win. This Special is a $500 to Win with 20 or more cars entered OR $300 to win with less than 20. The GAMBLERS option is available to all drivers racing this special who believe they can win, by paying an extra $50 to double the winning payout ($500 to $1000 OR $300 to $600). The GAMBLERS $50 must be paid at registration to be eligible and only doubles the Winner’s pay.

New this season is a monthly FANFEST for the general admission spectators. This allows the spectators to go into the pits FANFEST area only to gather driver autographs, merchandise, meet and greet, and special giveaways. FANFEST is scheduled from 3-4:30pm prior to the drivers meeting. The participating drivers will be the previous events feature winners. They will push down to FANFEST area for the fans to meet and greet and share autographs. This is a great opportunity for the fans to get involved, drivers to share merchandise, autographs, and promote your sponsors. This is a win-win for everyone so please make the most of it!
BUG DAY is Saturday April 20th for safety inspections, pit spots, and open practice from 2-6pm. Please have the Driver Profile/Tax Info Sheet and the annual Minor Release form ready. Gates open at noon.
