Officials with the American Speed Association (ASA) sanctioned Southern
Modified Race Tour have announced some adjustments to the 2009 schedule.
A new event at Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Concord, NC has been added
to the ASA / SMRT schedule. The event will be run on Thursday, October 15th
on “Bojangle’s Pole Night” along with qualifying for the SPRINT Cup cars.
Details for the event will be released next week in a joint press conference
with Officials from Lowe’s.
We have also been invited to attend the Auto Fair at the speedway
next week. We are looking for drivers who may want to display their
Modifieds at the Pavilion inside the track for that event. Scott Rigney is
the first volunteer to offer his car and services for that event but we
would like to showcase additional cars if possible.
The “Bojangle’s Pole Night” event has created the need to move the
second Dillon Motor Speedway event originally set for October 17th to
Sunday, October 18th. This will give teams an additional day to prepare for
the Dillon event as well as move it away from a Saturday night conflict with
the SPRINT Cup event that will be televised.
One other change in the schedule has the Orange County Speedway
event originally set for June 6th to be moved to July 11th. That change was
necessary to allow OCS Officials the chance to add a regular season event to
their schedule for their Late Model Stock division.
The next race for the series is the 3rd Annual “Kenny Minter Memorial” set
for Saturday, May 9th at Franklin County Speedway in Rocky Mount, VA.
