CARNESVILLE, Ga. -- The Fastrak $50,000 to win, $250,000 National Championship is about to begin as dirt late model teams from across the country are headed this way. These late model teams have competed all season in their respective areas of the country for a “right to compete” as this “historic” event. Teams are coming from all over the country which includes Oregon, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Washington and South Carolina. Many are already headed this way making the long trip from the West Coast. Each team has been awarded points they will start the three day weekend with and will be scored by points each night to determine the eventual National Champion (http://www.racefan.com/sresults.asp?SanctionID=988&StoryID=206689#) and take home the $50,000 to win cash prize.
Track Champions from 24 weekly sanctioned tracks will be competing as well as Regional Champions from 7 different regions across the entire USA. This will truly be the “best of the best”. Former UMP National Champions (http://www.racefan.com/sresults.asp?SanctionID=988&StoryID=206689#), former X-treme late Model series champions, former Fastrak late Model series champions will all be competing for the “historic” prize. This weekends three day shoot out is the largest championship of this type in the history of dirt racing (http://www.racefan.com/sresults.asp?SanctionID=988&StoryID=206689#). The anticipation is high as teams are bringing back up cars, spare engines, spare tires and enough parts to build a new race car in an event or a day which ever is required from them.
It should be an exciting three days of racing as every event will feature qualifying, heat races, as many as four semi mains and the A main as the feature event. There will be prizes for fans and the teams each night in addition to some of the greatest side by side racing ever witnessed. There will be prizes each night for the fans. Night one will have a $10,000 cash drawing. Night two will have a contest for a new Harley Davidson motorcycle and Night three a new 4 x 4 crew cab pick up truck. In addition each event will host fireworks, driver autograph session, tennis ball (http://www.racefan.com/sresults.asp?SanctionID=988&StoryID=206689#) throw to the fans with cash in them and a four wide around the track “salute to the fans”.
