The action begins Friday night with a 25-lap feature event for the 410’s on the 4/10 while the MSR Lights will run on the ΒΌ. Dwarf Cars and Pure Stocks will compete Friday’s racing card.
On Saturday night both series will be competing on the 4/10 with a 30-lap feature on tap for the 410’s and 25-laps for the MSR Lights. Saturday will include an opening ceremony with a Steadfast For Veterans special presentation that will include a flyover to honor our veterans. Fans are encouraged to get there early because you don’t want to miss this phenomenal opening ceremony. The National Compact Touring Series will also be in action on Saturday night.
