SPRING CITY, TN – Mountain View Raceway will present Double Money and Double Points for six of its seven Weekly Racing Divisions, plus the 602 Red Clay Series with a $1,250-to-win Main Event, and the Crew Chief’s Race this Saturday night. The Open-Wheel Modifieds have also been added to the racing program on the ¼-mile high-banked clay oval for this Saturday night
After a rainout last Saturday night, track owner Kelvin Hampton wanted to reward the 95 entrants that waited patiently through a line a thunderstorms on Saturday night that eventually rained out the event. After several requests, Hampton has also added the Open-Wheel Modifieds to this Saturday night’s racing program to run for regular money and points.
With eight Divisions and the rescheduled Crew Chief’s Race at the end of the regular racing this Saturday night, Hampton has elected to Hot Lap Qualify the seven Weekly Divisions, and have them go directly to Feature Races.
Drivers that were entered in last Saturday night’s rainout will qualify first and start in front of any new competitors that enter this Saturday night’s racing program. The new drivers will qualify after last Saturday night’s entrants and line up for the Feature Race behind them by the time they qualified.
The 602 Red Clay Series are dirt late models powered by the economical Chevrolet Performance 602 Circle Track Engine that is built and sealed at the factory to prevent any expensive modifications. The 602 Red Clay Series will run their standard format that will be announced by series officials.
