FASTRAK $30,000 to win “Grand Nationals” start Oct. 2nd & 3rd
Lavonia Speedway, GA – Mercer Raceway Park, PA – Langlade Co. Speedway, WI

Carnesville, GA (September 30, 2009) - The FASTRAK “GRAND NATIONALS” Championship begins in earnest this Friday night, when Lavonia Speedway, GA; Mercer Raceway Park, PA; and Langlade County Speedway, WI, all open their gates for NIGHT-1 competition. Even though a few tracks had NIGHT-1 events earlier to help with season ending schedules, this weekend’s simultaneous events in three different regions will most likely result in the largest FASTRAK car count per night in history.

Drivers are looking at getting three great nights of racing in over the three week run to contend for the $30,000 TO WIN “GRAND NATIONALS” Championship check. All the separate Regions will converge on Volunteer Speedway at Bulls Gap, TN for NIGHT-2 action on Oct. 21st & 22nd. Then move up Interstate-81 on Oct. 23rd & 24th, to Rural Retreat, VA and the high banks of Wythe Raceway for NIGHT-3 and the Grand Finale of all FASTRAK races.

Teams should check the Regional web sites or specific track web site for exact details of times and races.

Lavonia Speedway has put out their flyer for the weekend’s events and the FASTRAK “GRAND NATIONALS” Championship Late Models qualifying and heat races are the marquee events on Friday night’s race card. Joining the Saturday night action will be Lavonia’s Enduro cars in a $400 To Win event, Stock Four Cylinders also go for $400 To Win and the Up Fronts have fun in a $200 To Win event. Saturday racers and fans will be invited to “Meet & Greet” the FASTRAK drivers in the FASTRAK Autograph sessions that the fans love.

The real entertainment will come in the form of 3 to 4 B-Main “Last Chance” races to set the Field for NIGHT-1 of the FASTRAK “GRAND NATIONALS” Championship. Then in the big showdown of all the local Regional stars, everyone will get to see who will get off to a good points night that might just lead to the $30,000 “GRAND NATIONALS” Championship payday.
