Friday’s card includes heat races, “B” features and a qualifying event.
On Saturday, heats and “B” races will complete the starting field for the feature. Top drivers in point standings at tracks that have held at least 10 sanctioned Southern SportMod events this season are eligible to compete in Saturday’s $300 to win race of champions.
Pit gates and the grandstand both open at 6 p.m. Track packing starts at 7 p.m., with hot laps to follow and racing at 8 p.m. both nights.
Entry fee is $50 and pit passes are $25. Grandstand admission is $12 for adults, $8 for seniors and students, $2 for kids ages 6-11, and children five and under get in free.
