Spring Nationals Visit Headlines Two-Day Show at I-75 Raceway
 
SWEETWATER, TENNESSEE –  The Spring Nationals Series action heats back up this Friday night, March 29 with the tour’s third-ever visit to I-75 Raceway!  After a rainy start to 2024 for the Spring Nationals, which saw only one event completed out of a scheduled season-opening tripleheader a month ago, round two of the miniseries is set for Friday at the Sweetwater, Tennessee-area venue. 
 
A $10,053 first place prize has been established for the Super Late Models out of a $31,700 total purse.  In the two previous series races at I-75 Raceway, Brandon Overton ('21) and Carson Ferguson ('23) took home the oversized check and the coveted winning trophy.
 
Joining the Super Late Models on the racing card on Friday evening will be the 604 Late Model ($1,000 to win), Front Wheel Drive ($500 to win), and Street Stock ($500 to win) divisions.  The pit gates and tier parking will open at 4:00pm, the grandstands will open at 5:00pm, the Drivers Meeting is scheduled for 6:30pm, and Hot Laps are slated to get underway at 7:00pm.
 
*** BRING YOUR THURSDAY TICKET FROM THE STANDS OR TIER PARKING FOR $5.00 OFF FRIDAY'S ADMISSION!
 
The Spring Nationals tire rule in 2024 is Hoosier Racing Tire NLMT 2, 3, 4 and American Racer Tire 44, 48, Pro3/56, Pro4.  Body rules and the Droop Rule will be the same as those agreed on by both the World of Outlaws Late Model Series and the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series - among others.  The entry fee will be $100.00 and transponders will be available to rent.  Any driver not advancing into the feature field will receive $75.00 in tow money.
