The NASCAR Late Model stock cars will be featured on Saturday night at Grandview Speedway in the annual Firecracker 40. Racers taking part in the 40-lap race, the highlight of the Late Model season, will be chasing a $1,200 first place payoff and $200 feature starting money. The payoff is in place as long as 18 racers take part in the night’s action. Also racing in the tripleheader will be the always popular T.P.Trailers NASCAR 358 Modifieds and the exciting Sportsman racers.
And if the winner of the Firecracker 40 meets all the requirements there is cash and award bonuses from T.P. Trailers and VP Racing Fuels.
To make it easier for expected visitors to come challenge the regulars on the banked one-third-mile clay oval NASCAR temporary crew and driver licenses will be available for just $25 and they will be good for 3 weeks.
Visiting Late Model racers will be able to compete on the tires they normally use but will be required to use an American Racer (Grandview stamped) right rear tire for the 40-lap main event.
