FASTRAK: WYTHE RACEWAY HOSTS NEXT STOP ON ROAD TO “$250,000 GRAND NATIONALS”
CARNESVILLE, Ga. (July-21) The FASTRAK Modern Chevrolet Southeast Touring Series moves to Wythe Raceway (http://www.localracechat.com/forums/http/:wytheraceway.com) in Rural Retreat, VA this Saturday, July 26. Many regard the high banked ½ mile facility nestled in the picturesque southwest Virginia Mountains, as one of the finest facilities on the east coast. In what is becoming increasingly rare in today’s competitive marketplace, track owner Fred Brown constantly evaluates his facility in an effort to provide an enjoyable experience for everyone who competes in, or attends an event. That attention to detail is reflected on both sides of the fence; from the many amenities for race fans, to the meticulous track preparation.
With multiple racing grooves, and banking 22 degrees in turns 1&2 and 26 degrees in turns 3&4, Wythe Raceway (http://www.wytheraceway.com/) has hosted some of the most competitive events the FASTRAK Modern Chevrolet Southeastern Series has seen.
Perhaps more important then the $2000.00 that will go to the winner Saturday night, will be the opportunity this provides each team to tune up for Labor Day weekends $10,000.00 to win PRO LATE MODEL NATIONALS that will be held at Wythe Raceway as well.
As the summer enters into its second half, FASTRAK Series drivers are closely watching the FASTRAK Modern Chevrolet Southeastern Touring Series points standings where the top three positions could all change with the outcome of just one event.
FASTRAK City Chevrolet Weekly Racing Division points will be awarded as well.
With so much going on under the FASTRAK banner, the FASTRAK Modern Chevrolet Southeast Touring Series is currently in the midst of what many consider the nation’s longest streak of different winners in any nationally recognized touring series. Will Wythe Raceway (http://www.wytheraceway.com/) produce the 11th different winner in as many races?
With so much at stake at each and every event, expect to see such competitors as John Llewellyn of Knoxville, TN, Lee Cooper of Greer, SC, Ron Parker of Lawndale, NC, along with Weaverville, NC’s Vic Chandler and local favorites Brandon Umbereger from Rural Retreat, Phil Gann of Mayodan, NC and Troutdale’s Randy Taylor, and many more.
Other divisions racing Saturday Night will be the Cook’s Clean Center Super Streets, the Pepsi Hornets, Open Wheel Modifieds, Pro Mini’s and the U-Cars
The pits are slated to open at 4 p.m. The grandstands will open at 5 p.m.
Qualifying will determine the top-12 starters for the FASTRAK Series Modern Chevrolet Touring Series main event, while the remaining positions will be filled through heat races and a last chance consolation race. The starting positions of the top-6 qualifiers will be determined by a redraw prior to the night’s headlining featured event.
Additional events will include an autograph session with FASTRAK Series drivers in the Pavilion Area located behind the concessions building, and then later, fireworks will briefly fill the sky above the raceway as the starting field passes below in the ever popular FASTRAK Series 4 wide salute to the fans.
Adult grandstand admission is just $15.00. Be sure to look for $5.00 off admission Discount Coupons available at retailers and convenience stores throughout the area. Admission for children ages 6–11 is just $2.00.
Prelims are set to begin at around 7:30 with racing action set to begin immediately after.
There is probably no better venue then Wythe Raceway for such a pivotal night of racing in the FASTRAK Modern Chevrolet Southeast Touring Series
