NORTH-SOUTH SHOOTOUT
PROMISES TO BE BIGGER & BETTER IN 2008
The 6th Annual John Blewett III Memorial North-South Shootout(TM)
promises to be better than ever in 2008 when it returns to Concord
Motorsport Park in Concord, NC , November. The Tour–Type Modifieds of
the North and South will continue to share the spotlight with the
ultra-fast Supermodifieds from across the country. The weekend’s support
divisions will include the popular SK-Type Modifieds and authentic
Vintage racing divisions. Joining the strong line-up also will be the
Street Stocks.
This year, for the first time, the headlining Tour-Type Modified
will compete in 125-laps of green flag racing; up from 100 in years
past.
“We added the extra distance to the race to boost the excitement,”
said Promoter Charles Kepley of C&C Racing Promotions. “The Shootout
will be more competitive than ever and that is what keeps the racers and
the fans coming back each year.”

In 2008, the annual event will be extended to include two nights of
racing at the ¼-mile speedway located on the grounds of Concord
