For Immediate Release:
FAYETTEVILLE, NC 3-20-08
The Carolina Clash Super Late Model Series and Fayetteville Motor Speedway announced today a new $20,000 bonus for the 2008 season. Any driver that can capture the Carolina Clash season long championship and the Crazy 8 championship at FMS will be awarded a $20,000 bonus.
"To say we are excited about this new bonus program would be a huge understatement," said Carolina Clash President Larry Lee. "We have been looking at some type of incentive program for quite a while and this one is a grand slam, not only for us but for our fans and race teams as well." “This is solidifies Fayetteville Motor Speedway’s commitment to our fan base and drivers. We are striving to have one of the best tracks in the South East”, Ed Longhany said. “Anytime we can partner with a race series, we are moving to the next level”.
The Carolina Clash Super Late Model Series season is a 23 race tour that competes all over NC, SC, VA and Georgia. The series has adapted a 'playoff' style format for the 2008 season that has created a huge buzz across the racing community. The Crazy 8 Series is a mini series held by Fayetteville Motor Speedway. The 14 races are special events that feature Lucas Oil and World of Outlaws Late Model events as well as four Carolina Clash events. All Super Late Model events at Fayetteville Motor Speedway count towards the Crazy 8 Championship. Teams are allowed to throw away their worst finish at FMS. The two organizations have scheduled around one another so that race teams will have the opportunity to compete for both titles.
The Carolina Clash championship is paying a record $12,500 to win in 2008 with the Crazy 8 champion receiving $7,500. Along with the bonus program one race team could walk away with $40,000!
"We work very closely with Fayetteville Motor Speedway and this is an obvious reason why," said Lee. "We are honored, thrilled, proud and ecstatic to be a part of this program with FMS and we look forward to a record setting 2008.”
“The Carolina Clash Series and Fayetteville Motor Speedway have a long history together,” said Fayetteville Motor Speedway Co-Promoter Larry Norris. “This bonus money program is just one of the many things we are working on at FMS in 2008 to make it the best season yet.”
The Crazy 8 season gets under way this Saturday night March 22nd with a $2,500 to win main event at Fayetteville Motor Speedway. The Carolina Clash season opener is March 29th at Gordon Park Speedway in Augusta, GA. This race will pay $4,000 to win with a $500 bounty on Ed Basey.

Jeff's sponsor is J&J Race Cars, not J&N whatever you're talking about. Jeff also happens to own J&J Race Cars. Two completely different businesses.

G.R. Smith said last night @ Dublin that he's gonna do the whole thing, too. Lotta money at stake for the least amount of traveling expense.

my reply is the facts not bs. look at results at fms, 25 car and 70 car will get the money, and the local boys will get the scraps. do the math then talk to me.

NO..FMS and the clash are working together now and if the clash is racing somewhere u can count on FMS not running SLM.
