Precision Electrical Company will present an electrifying night of racing this Friday, July 8 at Kingsport Speedway.

Highlighting the night of NASCAR Whelen All-American Series racing action will be 60 laps from the Late Model Stock Car division. Street Stock, Pure 4, Mod 4 and Pure Street divisions are also set to do battle on the concrete.

Race fans will also get the chance to see live pit stops during Precision Electrical Company’s Dash for Cash. The Dash for Cash will see three Late Model Stock Car teams that have participated in three races this season will be drawn at random to compete in a time trials session separate from qualifying.

The three cars will each receive two laps (green flag, white flag and checkered flag) but on the white flag lap, each car must stop at the exit of turn four for crew members to perform a right rear tire change and then push the car on to the checkered flag. The team with the fastest overall time will win the dash and $300.

Coming off of a strong Independence Day weekend run, Kres VanDyke is looking to continue his strong performance this season. VanDyke has six wins on the season and leads the Late Model Stock Car standings by nine points over Zeke Shell.  

Chris Tunnell’s two this season have him currently leading the Street Stock standings by only two points over Paul Shull. With a division high six wins on the season, Billy Byington leads the Pure 4 ranks over John Ketron by 22 points.

The Mod 4 division results from last weekend remain on hold, keeping official point standings from being available. Kevin Canter and Jason Yates have held onto the top spots for much of the season in the division.

Marty Tunnell leads by 14 points over Dennis Arnold in the Pure Street division.

Pit gates open on Friday at 2 p.m., grandstands open at 5:30 p.m., qualifying begins at 7 p.m. and racing gets under at 8 p.m.  Adult admission is $10 and children 12-and-under are admitted free of charge. Tier parking along turns three and four is available for $10 per vehicle plus admission.
