Roberts Gets First
Van Hoy Oil CRA Street Stocks Win and the Series 2020 Championship at
Winchester Speedway Saturday
Salem, IN (October
10, 2020) – Louisville, Kentucky native Brandon Roberts had his best
race of the season Saturday night in the Van Hoy Oil CRA Street Stocks
Powered by JEGS Season Championship event at Winchester Speedway, as
part of the Winchester 400 Presented by JEGS. Roberts got by two time
series Champion Jason Atkinson on lap 39 to get his first ever series
win and claimed the series 2020 Championship as the highest finishing
2020 Chase for the Championship driver.
“I just can’t
believe it,” remarked a jubilant Roberts in victory lane. “To come to
Winchester and get the win and the series Championship is just
unbelievable! I have to thank everyone who helps me on this car, my
family, my crew, and all these people that came to support us tonight.
We worked hard to get better all year, we were not very good in the
early races, but be we continued to gain each race and we did it with a
lot of hard work. This is a great bunch of drivers to race against, they
race you hard, but they race clean. Its an honor to be the series 2020
Champion!”
Atkinson grabbed the
early lead after Van Hoy Oil/Allstar Performance Fast Qualifier Jeff
Lane drew a five for the events inverted start. Atkinson came in as one
of the four Chase drivers with a chance to win the series Championship
along with Roberts, Andrew Teepe and Josh Poore.
Atkinson pulled away
in the early laps and looked like he would cruise to the win while the
top six battled for position, when Roberts start his march to the front.
Roberts would get by Teepe for second and set his sights on Atkinson,
finally tracking him down as the race started to wind down.
Atkinson caught the
tail of the lead lap cars with Roberts on his back bumper when Roberts
made a great move to the inside pinning Atkinson behind the last lead
lap car, completing the pass for the lead coming out of tun four on lap
39. From there Roberts would pull away to get the win by just over a
second as the race went green to checkers.
For his pass of
Atkinson for the lead, Roberts was awarded the KRJ Race Products Sweet
Move of the Race Award. Roberts had already earned the series 2020
Rookie of the Year Award before Saturday night’s event and became the
series’ first ever Rookie of the Year to also win the series
Championship in the series 16 years of racing.
Atkinson would
finish in second and second in the series Chase for the Championship.
Atkinson was awarded the Van Hoy Oil Halfway Leader Award Bonus.
Teepe finished third
in the race and third in the series Chase for the Championship. Calvin
Parham finished in fourth place and picked up the AR Bodies Cool Move of
the Race for some great passes for position in the late laps of the race
to get his top five finish. Josh Poore finished in fifth place and would
finish in fourth in the series Chase for the Championship.
Chad Pendleton
finished in sixth. Josh Sage finished in seventh. J. J. Schafer finished
in eighth. Don Gregory finished in ninth. Buck Purtee came from his 18th
place starting position to finish in 10th earning the Van Hoy Oil
Hardcharger Award.

Crabtree Gets the
Win with the CRA Late Model Sportsman at Winchester Speedway
Hutson Picks Up
Second Series Championship
Salem, IN (October
12, 2020) – J.P. Crabtree got the win in Saturday night’s 50 lap Vore’s
Welding CRA Late Model Sportsman Powered by JEGS Season Championship
event at Winchester Speedway, after flagged race winner Brandon Varney’s
car did not pass post-race inspection. The win was Crabtree’s second
career series win.
“It always great to
get a win,” remarked Crabtree in victory lane. “I would have rather won
it on the track, but my team and I worked our butt’s off to get here and
race tonight and be in position to get the win. I have to thank everyone
who helps us get to the racetrack, my family, my team and everyone who
came out here to support us tonight. It’s great being a two-time winner
at Winchester !”
Crabtree raced in
the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour event Friday night at Winchester Speedway
and got caught up in an on-track incident not of his making, that did
some damage to the nose of the car. During the race Crabtree’s
right-side door and rear fender flew off the car and over the wall in
the back stretch.
Crabtree would go on
to finish in 11th with most of the body missing on his car. When they
went to try and retrieve the body parts, someone else had already taken
them.
“We looked around
where they went over the wall and they were gone. We figured a fan from
the campground grabbed them up as a souvenir, we went out in the
campground, but couldn’t find them anywhere,” added Crabtree. “We took
the car back to the shop and cut the right-side body parts off one of
our older cars and used those to help get the car back together. We got
here just in time to qualify on Saturday, we missed both practice
sessions, but the car was good Friday, so I felt like we would have a
good piece for Friday!”
For his efforts to
get the car back together and race on Saturday, Crabtree was awarded the
KRJ Race Products Sweet Move of the Race Award. Crabtree won this event
in 2018 in similar fashion when the event's flagged winner did not pass
post-race tech.
Billy Hutson
finished in second, the highest of the series 2020 Chase for the
Championship drivers, earning him the series 2020 Championship. It was
the second series Championship for Hutson, who also won it 13 years ago
in 2007.
“It feels really
good to get this second Championship,” remarked Hutson. “It took a
while, we’ve been in the hunt the last couple of seasons and came up a
little short, but we finally got the second one tonight! I have to thank
everyone who supports this team. A lot of hard work and effort goes into
running for a Championship and I appreciate everyone on this team for
their help and staying behind me!”
Chris Shannon would
finish in third place. Series Chase contender Cassten Everidge finished
in fourth place and second in the series 2020 Chase for the Championship
in his first time competing for a CRA Championship. Another Chase
contender, Austin Coe, finished in fifth place and finished third in the
series 2020 Chase for the Championship.
Chase contender
Tanner Jack had his day end on lap five after getting caught up in a
multi car incident that damaged his car too much to continue to race.
Jack finished in fourth in the series 2020 Chase for the Championship
and was the series 2020 Rookie of the Year.

FRYAR HOLDS ON TO WIN LMSC TITLE; BERRY EARNS $30,000
WITH OLD NORTH STATE NATIONALS WIN
EASLEY, S.C. (Oct. 25, 2020) — Jared Fryar won the 2020
Solid Rock Carriers CARS Tour Late Model Stock Car championship in
Sunday’s second annual Heritage Transportation Risk Management Old North
State Nationals presented by GXS Wraps at Greenville-Pickens Speedway,
while JR Motorsports’ Josh Berry won the race and $30,000.
Fryar won the title by a single point over Layne Riggs.
With the championship, Fryar became the first driver in Solid Rock
Carriers CARS Tour history to win both the LMSC and Super Late Model
titles. Berry’s race win capped off a week that included a NASCAR
Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series national championship and an
announcement that he will drive 12 races next season for JR Motorsports
in the NASCAR XFINITY Series.
Sunday was the first time Berry had competed in a Solid
Rock Carriers CARS LMSC Tour event since his suspension following an
on-track incident with Bobby McCarty at Ace Speedway, but he provided
the field a strong reminder as to why he is the CARS Tour’s all-time
wins leader.
"This is truly unbelievable," Berry said. "These guys
have done such a great job all year staying on top of things. We ran a
lot of laps Friday and Saturday, and all of that paid off today. I knew
taking tires with 100 laps to go was too early, and we were in a prime
position with new tires by restarting eighth after the second rain
delay."
Berry surrendered the lead from the pole to Deac
McCaskill before Layne Riggs passed both of them to take the lead early.
Riggs had explored the high line during the three heat races on Saturday
and used it to assume control of the race.
After passing McCaskill for second, Josh Berry attempted
to use the bottom line to power his way by Riggs, but the 2017 CARS LMSC
Tour champion was forced to tuck in line and ride behind Riggs until a
competition caution was displayed at Lap 68.
On the ensuing restart, Berry worked his way by the
slower cars of Chad McCumbee and Peyton Sellers, both of which had
stayed out under caution, to retake the lead. Berry led the race until
an incident between Boo Boo Dalton and Taylor Satterfield brought out
the yellow just before the halfway point.
Berry, Mike Looney and several other front runners
elected to save a set of tires for the end of the race while Riggs led a
group of cars down pit road. Riggs and the other cars that pitted used
their fresh tires to race back towards the front of the field.
Berry believed that the race was in his hands when a rain
delay halted the Old North State Nationals with 52 laps remaining, but
he admitted that patience would be imperative depending on how many cars
decided to come with him to get fresh tires once the yellow flag was
displayed.
"We were concerned about how many cars would stay out
during the break, but only seven did," Berry said. "We lined up eighth
with fresh tires, but you're always worried about getting caught up in a
wreck and you have to control what you can control. I felt like we put
ourselves in the best position to win."
Berry wasted no time charging towards the lead and found
himself on Riggs' rear bumper after only ten laps. A strong run by Berry
under Riggs in Turn 3 gave him the momentum to drive away from Riggs and
easily claim his 19th win in CARS Tour Late Model Stock Car competition.
While Berry celebrated in victory lane, Fryar was
overcome with emotion after backing up his 2018 SLM title with the 2020
LMSC crown, despite dealing with an ill-handling car for most of the
weekend.
"Josh [Berry] gave me some words of wisdom," Fryar said.
"He told me he ran like crap in the last race when he won it in 2017,
but it's awesome to have so many good runs all year long and a win,
which is all I could have asked for. The competition is so tough in the
CARS Tour, so it feels good to finally get a championship in a Late
Model Stock Car."
Fryar was confident in his chances about battling Berry
for the $30,000 paycheck on Sunday evening, but he said that his car did
not agree with some adjustments that his crew made following the heat
races on Saturday.
Fryar and his crew kept trying to diagnose the issues
with his No. 14 Sterling Building Group Ford once the green flag dropped
for the Old North State Nationals, but Fryar ended up spending most of
the event's opening half clinging to a Top 10 running position.
With Riggs collecting a bonus point for leading laps,
Fryar knew how important track position would be to maintaining the
points lead, but he believed that his crew finally got the car right
after they put tires on it during a Lap 102 caution.
Fryar used the fresh rubber to work his way through
slower traffic up to the ninth position before weather brought another
yellow flag out with 52 laps to go. Fryar elected to stay out on track
with Riggs and a handful of others once the race got back going, meaning
that he would have to fight to keep his points lead.
The final green flag run of the evening saw Fryar
struggle to corral his car as drivers like Looney, Connor Mosack and
more passed him. For most of the last 50 laps, the live points lead
swapped between Riggs and Fryar on multiple occasions.
"It just went away there at the end," Fryar said about
his car. "We could just never get through Turn 1 like we needed to. I
don't know if we made the wrong changes or if there was just something
wrong with the car. We'll celebrate and go back to the shop and look at
the car so it's ready for next year."
With six laps to go, Riggs and Fryar were tied in the
points standings. At that point, Riggs would have won the title off the
first tiebreaker — most wins. However, Fryar's fortunes turned when
Timothy Peters retired from the race. Peters’ retirement moved Fryar
into the 13th position and gave him the championship by just one point.
Riggs, who spent a good portion of the closing stages
battling Corey Heim for second, did everything he needed to do in order
to have an opportunity to win both the race and the championship, but he
said that consistency ultimately decided which driver celebrated on the
frontstretch.
"We had a good race," Riggs said. "We got off on strategy
when we changed tires early, and the fresh rubber that Josh [Berry] and
Corey [Heim] at the end prevailed. I enjoyed racing with Corey, but we
came up short. Congrats to Jared on being super consistent all year, but
without those DNFs at Hickory and Florence, I think we would have had a
good shot at it."
Fryar was unaware of the actual points situation until he
received confirmation from CARS Tour officials after the race, as he was
focused on nursing his struggling car to the checkered flag while
simultaneously respecting everyone out on track.
"I knew it was close," Fryar said. "I was just trying to
hold off all those guys behind me, but Josh was trying to lap me and I
was trying to stay off of him. This wasn't the prettiest way to win the
championship, but my name is on the trophy at the end of the day."
While the Late Model Stock Cars have completed their 2020
season, the Super Late Models of the Solid Rock Carriers CARS Tour
finish their 2020 campaign with the All-American 400 at the Nashville
Fairgrounds Speedway on Nov. 1.

POPE CHARGES FOR FIRST WIN IN FLORENCE AS CRAIG WINS
THIRD RACE OF THE SEASON
TIMMONSVILLE, S.C. (Oct. 3, 2020) – The Solid Rock
Carriers CARS Tour's inaugural trip to Florence Motor Speedway for the
Aaron's 250 saw Nolan Pope claim his first win in a thrilling last-lap
battle with Timothy Peters, while Super Late Model points leader Matt
Craig earned his third victory of the 2020 season.
Craig knew that Trevor Noles, who started on pole after
winning the U.S. Short Track Nationals at Bristol Motor Speedway the
week before, would pose an immense challenge, but he felt confident in
his chances to win as soon as he arrived at Florence on Friday.
"We struggled really bad at Bristol, but tonight we had a
really good car," Craig said. "We were really fast off the truck on
Friday. My car was really similar to Trevor's, as we both have Rowdy
[Manufacturing] cars, so it was kind of like an IROC race with everyone
having the same car, but it was fun."
Noles and Craig controlled the early portion of the event
until Michael Ritch powered his way to the front from the 10th spot on
the grid and took the lead. A bad restart briefly put Ritch back in
third, but he methodically worked his way back to the lead until Craig
passed him on Lap 79.
Ritch would ultimately get knocked out of contention
after colliding with Carson Kvapil on a later restart, leaving Craig and
Noles to settle the win between themselves. Noles ultimately had nothing
for Craig and was forced to watch him pull away with the win.
Craig's win at Florence will pad out an already
comfortable points lead over Sammy Smith, but he said that his second
consecutive SLM title in the CARS Tour title is far from guaranteed,
given that the season finale is the triple-sanctioned All-American 400
at Nashville.
"With the All-American 400, 32 cars start that race,"
Craig said. "I think we'll still have to finish in the Top 25 or better
at Nashville to clinch. A lot of things can happen there, but hopefully
we can hang on and get another championship."
The ensuing LMSC feature was primarily dominated by
Peters, but an efficient tire conservation strategy from Pope enabled
him to charge his way through the field and pass the two-time ValleyStar
Credit Union 300 winner with a great run off Turn 4 coming to the
checkered flag.
Pope believed that he could conserve his equipment at the
front of the field alongside Peters, Layne Riggs and Lee Pulliam after
qualifying in fifth, but he quickly adjusted his strategy when he
realized how aggressive his competition was at the beginning of the
feature.
"We were going to try and ride out front, but everyone
was going faster than I wanted to," Pope said. "I knew we were going to
have a good chance, but we just had to be there. After that last caution
80 laps in, I told my spotter that my car was really good around the
bottom and as long as it stayed there, we had a shot."
Pope dropped to the tail end of the field while Riggs
held off challenges from Pulliam, Matt Cox and Justin Johnson. Riggs'
chances of a third consecutive victory ended soon after when a faulty
alternator cost him two laps on pit road.
Johnson assumed control of the lead and encountered
little resistance from the likes of Cox and Peters, but a mechanical
issue on Lap 69 forced him to bring his Late Model into the pits,
denying him his first career victory.
With Johnson out of the race, Peters gained the upper
hand on his closest competition in McCumbee after the latter used up his
tires. However, several drivers, including Pope, began to weave their
way through slower traffic after successfully conserving their tires.
Once Pope dispatched Pulliam and teammate Corey Heim, he
made short work of McCumbee, but he had less than 15 laps to get around
lapped cars and chase down Peters for that elusive first career win.
Peters did not think Pope was a contender for the win
until he saw him rapidly approaching in his rearview mirror, but he
admitted that there was not much he could do to stall out Pope's
momentum and beat him to the checkered flag in the closing laps.
"I just gave him a little too much room, but I was
getting really tight," Peters said. "I think I went a little too soon
after the last caution. This one will go in the memory bank when we come
back down here for the big race, so hopefully things will go the same
way except 10 yards in my direction."
Pope, who was coming off a dismal weekend at Carteret
County Speedway that saw him get banned from the Touring 12 following a
post-race altercation, was solely focused on being consistent and
gaining spots, but was also oblivious as to where he was in the running
order until the checkered flag flew.
"I had no idea that was even for the lead," Pope said.
"Nobody said anything, but when I crossed the line, everybody started
yelling and I asked if that was for the win, and I was told yes. I
really didn't want a yellow, but luckily that didn't happen and we were
able to clear [Peters] off Turn 4 for the checkered."
The LMSC portion of the Solid Rock Carriers CARS Tour
season will conclude with the Old North State Nationals from Oct. 24-25
at Greenville-Pickens Speedway. The Super Late Models finish their 2020
campaign with the All-American 400 at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway
from Oct. 30-Nov. 1. The Solid Rock Carriers CARS Tour is broadcast live
on

SOLID ROCK CARRIERS CARS TOUR EVENT PREVIEW PRESENTED BY
ACCENT IMAGING: HERITAGE TRANSPORTATION RISK MANAGEMENT OLD NORTH STATE
NATIONALS PRESENTED BY GXS WRAPS AT GREENVILLE-PICKENS SPEEDWAY —
OCTOBER 24-25, 2020
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (October 20, 2020)
— The 2020 Late Model Stock Car season for the Solid Rock Carriers CARS
Tour concludes this weekend with the year’s highest-paying LMSC race in
the United States — the Heritage Transportation Risk Management Old
North State Nationals presented by GXS Wraps at Greenville-Pickens
Speedway, in Easley, South Carolina.
Paying $30,000-to-win, the second running of the Heritage
Transportation Risk Management Old North State Nationals presented by
GXS Wraps has 34 cars entered, while the 2020 Late Model Stock Car
champion of the CARS Tour will also be crowned. Jared Fryar enters the
race with a 15-point advantage over Layne Riggs, but both drivers will
be fighting for victory over the best drivers in Late Model Stock Car
racing, including Josh Berry, Mike Looney and Jeff Fultz.
The Heritage Transportation Risk Management Old North
State Nationals presented by GXS Wraps was originally scheduled to be
held at Orange County Speedway in April before being pushed back and
eventually relocated due to the Phase 2 and Phase 3 policies of the
State of North Carolina’s “Safer at Home” program. Lee Pulliam won the
inaugural Old North State Nationals one year ago.
This weekend’s program is the only one this season to be
spread out over two days. Old North State Nationals weekend begins on
Saturday at 7 p.m. ET with the Qualifying Races presented by GXS Wraps.
Drivers will compete in four races and a Last Chance Qualifier to set
the field for the 200-lap feature, which runs on Sunday afternoon at 3
p.m. ET. Following Saturday night’s racing, Tyler Hatley & The Little
Mountain Band will perform at the track to close out the evening.
Admission to the concert is free with a grandstand ticket or pit pass.

#OldNorthStateNationals
Jared Fryar poised to clinch championship
If Jared Fryar finishes eighth or better, he will become
the first driver to win both a Late Model Stock Car championship and a
Super Late Model championship in the CARS Tour.
Fryar won the Super Late Model title in 2018 and has led
the Late Model Stock Car points throughout much of the 2020 season. Now,
he’s hoping to seal the deal on Sunday in the biggest race of the year.
“It’s nerve-racking leading the points and also going
into the biggest race of the season with the most cars and some locals,”
Fryar said. “We have a lot on the line to win and it will be harder than
ever before to accomplish both goals, but we have a strong enough team
to do it.”
Fryar, who is part of the Lucas Oil Touring 12, has
backed up his victory at Franklin County Speedway in August with seven
top-five finishes and eight top-10 finishes through nine races in 2020.
His average finish through those races is 4.4.
Consistency has been the road Fryar has traveled this
season, much like his championship triumph in the 2018 CARS Super Late
Model Tour season. That year, Fryar won the title off the back of four
top-fives and seven top-10s. If he can seal the deal on Sunday and
clinch the championship, it will be a career-defining moment.
“It would mean my whole racing career to me, my dad, and
everyone who helped us accomplish great seasons in both divisions,”
Fryar continued. “I feel like these CARS Tour championships are hard to
come by, because it’s about being good over a 10-race schedule, not
just a couple of good runs.”
Josh Berry returns to CARS Tour action
After laying claim to the 2020 NASCAR Advance Auto Parts
Weekly Series National Championship on Sunday at Southern National
Motorsports Park, former CARS Tour LMSC Champion Josh Berry is back,
with his sights set on the $30,000 prize going to Sunday’s race winner.
His appearance in the Old North State Nationals will be
his first since Ace Speedway in June.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been to Greenville-Pickens
Speedway,” Berry said. “We’re gonna prepare. I’m going to have a lot on
my plate this week but we’re going to do our best to get prepared and
see what we have Friday when we get there.”
In NAAPWS competition, Berry has had a phenomenal season
with 24 wins — but he has not won in either of his two Solid Rock
Carriers CARS Tour starts this year. A victory in the Old North State
Nationals would not only be his first CARS Tour win since South Boston
last November and 19th in his CARS Tour career, it would also be his
richest achievement since winning the ValleyStar Credit Union 300 at
Martinsville Speedway last September.
“If I was able to win that race on top of everything else
we’ve done this year, I think I could probably just hang it up there
because it’s not going to be any better,” Berry continued. “We’re going
to give it our best shot. It will be a tough race. A lot of great
competition there, but I feel like we have as good a shot as anybody.”
CARS Tour Policies to Prevent Spread of COVID-19 Continue
The CARS Tour’s COVID-19 policies will continue to be in
effect for this weekend’s race at Greenville-Pickens Speedway. They
include (but are not limited to) the following:
-
All personnel will have their temperature screened before entering
the race track.
-
Driver Intros will not be held amongst the crowd, per usual;
instead, drivers will be introduced from their cars on the grid.
-
Trailers will be spread out across the infield to maintain proper
social distancing.
-
Spotters will be required to wear masks during the race.
-
Masks will be strongly recommended for those who are in the infield
and required for all Victory Lane celebrations.
Early Entry List Revealed for
CARS Tour Old North State Nationals at Greenville-Pickens
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Written By: CARS Tour
www.carsracingtour.com
Mooresville, NC 10/8/20 – Twenty-six cars have filed
their early entry as of October 7th for the Heritage Transportation Risk
Management “Old North State Nationals” presented by GXS Wraps at
Greenville-Pickens (SC) Speedway on October 24-25th.
Thus far the entry list
reveals a large contingent of Palmetto State drivers taking advantage of
the race moving to their home state due to North Carolina’s COVID-19
mass gathering restrictions.
Jeremy Burns, Anthony Anders,
Matt Cox, and Austin Somero are half of the seven drivers entered that
call South Carolina home. In addition to them, defending track champion
and current Late Model Stock points leader Taylor Satterfield, had filed
his entry for the $30,000 to win race.
One driver that fans over the
years are used to seeing behind the wheel of a Super Late Model at
Greenville-Pickens, has thrown his hat into the mix for the 200 lap
feature event, Jeff Fultz. The former three-time All Pro Series champion
has seen a high rate of success at the half-mile track in various series
over his career. Fultz has racked up wins and podium finishes over the
years in All Pro, Pro Cup, and the PASS South Series at
Greenville-Pickens.
Often deemed “The People’s
Champion”, Mike Looney will get his second taste of CARS Tour action.
Looney, the 2016 Martinsville 300 race winner and 2019 NASCAR Weekly
Series national champion runner-up, will make the trip South from his
hometown of New Castle, Virginia. Looney made his series debut earlier
this season when the series visited Franklin County Speedway as part of
a last minute schedule change due to COVID-19 restrictions at other
tracks. Looney dueled current championship points leader Jared Fryar
down to the final lap, before coming up just short of the win in
August.
Josh Berry will return to CARS
Tour action for the first time this season after deciding to chase the
2020 NASCAR Weekly Series championship. All indications in the national
weekly series points standings show that Berry will show up to the Old
North State Nationals as the newly crowned national champion. Berry, the
2017 Late Mode Stock Tour champion and all-time CARS Late Model Stock
Car Tour wins leader, is no stranger to winning big money events on
paperclip shaped race tracks like Greenville. The JR Motorsports driver
is the defending Martinsville 300 race winner from a season ago where he
pocketed $44,000 for his victory.
Not only will the Old North
State Nationals pay out an impressive $86,875 making it the biggest Late
Model Stock race of 2020, but it will also crown the 2020. Current Solid
Rock Carriers CARS Tour Late Model stock championship points leader
Jared Fryar will carry a 15 point lead over Layne Riggs and Corey Heim
into the final race of the season. The Trinity, North Carolina driver
has a shot at history, becoming the first driver to win both a Late
Model Stock tour championship and a Super Late Model tour championship (Fryar:
2018 CARS SLM Champion).
Tickets for the Old North
State Nationals are on sale now only at
www.carsracingtour.com, and reflect
heavy savings for those purchasing in advance. Fans can view the
complete pre entry list as of 10/8 on the site as well.

Bret Holmes enters Kansas
with 910 points.
Michael Self enters Kansas
with 902 points.

lap, and leading the most laps.
Self can earn a maximum of 950 points, leading a lap, and
leading the most laps.

950 points, Holmes will need to finish second (952 points) or third (951
points) without leading a lap to win.
If Self wins and leads the most laps and earns his maximum
950 points, Holmes will need to finish fourth or higher (951 points) and
lead at least one lap to win.

949 points. Holmes will need to finish fourth (950 points) without leading a
lap to win.
If Self wins but does not lead the most laps, he will earn
949 points. If Holmes leads at least one lap he needs to finish fifth (950
points) to win.
If Self wins but does not lead the most laps, he earns 949
points. If Holmes leads the most laps he needs to finish sixth (950 points)
or higher to win.
If Self does not win, he needs to finish six positions ahead
of Holmes and lead the most laps to tie. Self wins any possible tie
breakers.
If Self does not win, leads a lap, but does not lead the most
laps, he needs to finish seven positions ahead of Holmes to tie. Self wins
any possible tie breakers.
If Self does not win and neither driver leads a lap, he needs
to finish eight positions ahead of Holmes to tie. Self wins any possible tie
breakers.
If Self does not win and Holmes leads a lap, he needs to
finish nine positions ahead of Holmes to tie. Self wins any possible tie
breakers.
If Self does not win and Holmes leads the most laps, he needs
to finish ten positions ahead of Holmes to tie. Self wins any possible tie
breakers.

Oktoberfest 200 Challenge on Sunday
West Salem, WI- Twenty drivers representing over 60
Championships have entered this Sunday’s 51st annual Oktoberfest 200 for the

states have entered the Championship event at the 5/8 mile paved oval.
5 Casey Johnson- The defending ARCA Midwest Tour Champion and
current point leader just wrapped up his fourth Tundra Series Championship
last weekend. He is a three time Jefferson Speedway Champion where he is
also a six time Wisconsin State Champion. He has backed up his home track
success with a pair of titles in Big 8 Series action, Madison Triple Crown
and in the Fox River Racing Club at Wisconsin International Raceway where he
is also a former Red, White and Blue State Champion.
5 Johnny Sauter- The most recent ARCA Midwest Tour feature
fought tooth and nail to best Casey Johnson and Gabe Sommers at Dells
Raceway Park over Labor Day Weekend to win the Joe Shear Classic 200. Now
the 2001 ASA National Champion and 2016 NASCAR Truck Champion looks to
record a second Oktoberfest 200 win to go along with his 2017 Fest victory.
7 Paul Shafer, Jr- He bested three time Oktoberfest winner
Eddie Hoffman to record his second Chicagoland Track Championship just last
month. The 2020 Grundy County Speedway Champion finished second at Fest two
years ago and won the Tour’s visit to Grundy for the Wayne Carter Classic in
August. His first Chicagoland Championship came in 2013 at Illiana Motor
Speedway.
9 Derek Kraus- Now a NASCAR Truck Series front runner, Kraus
wowed them at Fest last year picking up The Futures victory on Thursday
Night. With over a dozen ARCA West/East wins in 3 seasons following his
victory at age 15 in Midwest Tour competition in 2016, making him the
youngest winner in series history, Kraus became the 2019 ARCA (NASCAR K&N)
West Champion.
10 Andy Monday- Always a front runner on Thursday night’s at
Wisconsin International, the 2017 Fox River Racing Club Champion will
attempt to make his third Midwest Tour start of the season on Sunday at
Oktoberfest.

Champion at Wisconsin International Speedway. After early domination in
2020, the second generation driver garnered his first Fox River Racing Club
title at WIR.
12 Nick Murgic- He was last year’s Dick Trickle 99 winner at
Oktoberfest and all indications are the he will be crowned the LaCrosse
Fairgrounds Speedway Track Champion at the conclusion of their four feature
events during Fest. His father Steve was a thirteen time Champion at
Minnesota’s Raceway Park.
26 Mark Lamoreaux- The record books will show him as the
final CWRA Champion at LaCrosse Fairgrounds Speedway. That was in 1991, now
the veteran whose career spans into the mid-seventies returns to LaCrosse
for Oktoberfest after having a third place showing at the 5/8 mile oval in
July.
32 Brett Yackey- Returning to Oktoberfest this season is the
2018 Kulwicki Driver Development Program’s 2018 Champion Brett Yackey. His
father Bruce ‘The Moose’ became a regular ARTGO Challenge Series visitor at
Fest each year and now Brett, a four time Champion at Colorado National
Speedway will again pull from the base of the Rocky Mountains to LaCrosse.
36 Dan Fredrickson- In search of a fifth Oktoberfest win
which would tie him with Joe Shear, Fredrickson is always a threat to win
and came up just shy at Fest a year ago. The 2008 and 2013 Midwest Tour
Champion also leads all other drivers with three Dick Trickle 99 checkered
flags. He was the 2017 Triple Crown Champion at Madison International
Speedway and the 2003 Champ at his home track, Elko Speedway.
39 Andrew Morrissey- Your 2011 Midwest Tour Champion and 2018
Oktoberfest winner has posted the best average finish out of any Super Late

feature.

he just posted win number fourteen on the season. Claiming the Championships
at both State Park Speedway and Golden Sands Speedway, he also notched
multiple wins at Norway Speedway and in Tundra Series competition. In July,
he won his first ARCA Midwest Tour feature, the Detjens Memorial at State
Park.
45 Rich Bickle, Jr- Recently it was announced that 2021 would
be his final year behind the wheel of a Super Late Model. He is a five time
Snowball Derby Winner and has collected four Slinger Nationals wins and has
twice worn the wreath following Rockford Speedway’s National Short Track
Championships. The former top tier NASCAR driver was the 1985 and 1986 Track
Champion at Madison International which was then known at Capital Super
Speedway.
52 Brock Heinrich- His only Tour start of 2020 saw this
former two time State Park Speedway Late Model Champion lead laps in the
Detjens Memorial before finishing a Tour career best third in July. Having
won a preliminary feature at Fest last year, many eyes are on this young up
and comer.
72 Jacob Goede- The 2019 NASCAR Weekly Racing Series National
Champion was last year’s Big 8 Series Oktoberfest winner. Just last weekend,
the former Bristol Motor Speedway winner recorded his seventh straight Track
Championship at Elko Speedway. Goede has two wins this season at LaCrosse.
76 Jason Weinkauf- Returning to Tour competition will be
Jason Weinkauf who has one tour win coming at Marshfield Motor Speedway
where he was the back to back Track Champion in 2009 and 2010. His first
track title came at Golden Sands Speedway in 2007.
77 Jonathan Eilen- Over the past two seasons, he has recorded
feature victories at Dells Raceway Park and Madison International Speedway
along with winning the final segment of last year’s Dick Trickle 99 on
Friday night of Oktoberfest. The 2012 ARCA Midwest Tour Champion has posted
two top five efforts in Tour action this year and finished fourth in the
50th Oktoberfest 200.
80 Ryan Farrell- He is becoming one of the more popular
drivers on Tour and rightfully so. He and his ‘Best Unpaid Crew In All of
Racing’ are continuously fast wherever they go and have a winning attitude.
He got the most out of his equipment and raced his way to the 2018 Wisconsin
Challenge Series Crown.
91 Ty Majeski- Last year’s Oktoberfest 200 winner Ty Majeski
will be making his first ARCA Midwest Tour start since his $10,000 payday in
August’s Gandrud Auto Group 250 at WIR. The four time Midwest Tour Champion
was also victorious on Sunday of the 2016 Oktobefest Race Weekend. Having
won major Super Late Model events across the country, he is
119 Dalton Zehr- In search of his first Oktoberfest win, Zehr
overcame all odds in 2018 at Oktoberfest. After having wrecked in Friday
night’s Dick Trickle 99, he and his team rebuilt their Super Late Model
overnight and laid claim to the Midwest Tour Championship. He is the 2013
Norway Speedway Track Champion and won three consecutive Tundra titles from
2015-2017.

Entry Forms & Weekend Schedule
Available For North-South Shootout At Caraway
SOPHIA, NC (October 14) – With the
18th Annual John Blewett, III Memorial North-South Shootout – In Memory Of
Charles Kepley being less than a month away, information for fans and
competitors is now available. Entry forms, the complete
weekend schedule, as well as camping reservations and grandstand ticket
purchases, can all be found at carawayspeedway.com. This
year’s running of the North-South Shootout will be returning to the
55-year-old facility due to COVID-19 restrictions eliminating the
possibility of having the race at Hickory Motor Speedway.
The 18th Annual North-South Shootout will be the weekend of November
6-7 and will feature 150-lap events for the Tour-Type Modifieds and Super
Late Models. The Modifieds will compete for $7500 to win
and $1000 to start, while the Super Late Models will co-headline, paying
$5000 to win and $500 to start. The Limited Late Models
will also be in action, along with 602 Modifieds, 602 Super Limiteds, and
Mini Stocks. Entry forms for the Tour-Type Modifieds,
Super Late Models, 602 Modifieds, and 602 Super Limiteds, along with
reserved trackside parking, trackside camping, and grandstand tickets, are
all available at carawayspeedway.com.
Caraway Speedway hosted the North-South Shootout from
2011-2014 with the four races there being split between Matt Hirschman and
Ryan Preece. Top Southern Modified runner Burt Myers
scored back-to-back wins in the North-South at Concord Speedway in 2008-2009
and leads a strong southern contingent of Modified drivers like Brian Loftin,
John Smith, Bobby Measmer, Jr., and Jeremy Gerstner in defense of their home
turf. Hirschman realizes a win at this year's Shootout
will be tough to achieve with so many strong teams having experience at
Caraway Speedway.
On Saturday, November 7th, in addition to the
Tour-Type Modifieds and Super Late Models, the Limited Late Models will
compete in a 75-lapper for $2,000 to win, along with 602 Modifieds, 602
Super Limiteds, and Mini Stocks will also be in action.
On Friday, November 6th there will be practice for all divisions and
qualifying for the Tour-Type Modifieds, Super Late Models, 602 Modifieds,
and 602 Super Limiteds.
