W-9 FORMS: We mailed this form to the 8-10 of you that have not returned this form. Since we do not include your SS # on the membership forms, we need this filled out for the tax man when sending your 1099's. So...if you don't have it on file, you won't get a 1099, which means you will be late with your information for your tax man. You can download the form, under forms on both track home pages.

OFF-SEASON WORK AT THE TRACKS! The concrete wall replacement of turns 1 and 2 at Flat Rock has been completed. A new catch fence will be installed as the weather changes. *With this project, our plan is to keep folks back away from the wall when cars are on the track. We are looking at several options, including additional seating in another location for the pits. This is for your safety. We will not install a mesh screen above the wall as an option. We will need your cooperation in this matter as we get ready for the new season. We will keep you up to date as we work on this issue.

We have also done some replacement/repair work on several concrete pads, and the TKC Karts are moving their storage area up by the pit sign-in. Dirt has been added to the infield and has also been re-seeded in several areas. At Toledo, we have put a new roof on the tech barn, had a sewer line repaired and sealed the cracks in the ½ mile.

2020 RACE DATES SET FOR 31ST SEASON OF THE NAPA AUTO PARTS THUNDER ON THE HILL RACING SERIES AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY

BECHTELSVILLE, PA . . . . . . . The NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series will return to the Grandview Speedway in 2020 for its thirty-first season. Another year of premier events will make-up the 2020 Thunder Series to include all the fan-favorite shows, plus the first-ever Trick or Treat Triple 20's for Modifieds joined by the Sportsman to highlight the October MODS at the MADHOUSE season finale.

The Thunder on the Hill Racing Series has presented 137 events since its inception in August 1990 and is known for bringing the top racing divisions and top touring series to Grandview Speedway. In 2020, that tradition continues with the USAC Non-Wing Sprints and Midgets, the Pennsylvania 410 Sprint Speed Week Series, Tony Stewart's All Star Circuit of Champions, and the Grandview NASCAR 358 Modifieds all scheduled for events.

In the past, the Thunder Series also presented the WoO Sprints and Late Models, SCRA, CRA, DirtCar, ROC Modifieds, ARDC Midgets, URC Sprints, and MASS Sprint cars. In most cases, these events have two top divisions sharing the main event, making it a must-see show.

The 2020 NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series will open on Sunday, May 24, with the 23rd Annual Modified Traffic Jam joined by the Sportsman. The series continues on Tuesday, June 9, when the USAC AMSOIL National Non-Wing Sprint Car Series invades Grandview for the annual Jesse Hockett Classic, co-headlined by the NASCAR 358 Modifieds. A fan-favorite event, the USAC non-wing stars put on a race like no other at the Grandview Speedway.

Always one of the most anticipated events at Grandview is the Pennsylvania 410 Sprint Car Speedweek alongside the NASCAR 358 Modifieds on Tuesday, June 30. The Speedweek 35 lap feature, known as the Hodnett Cup, is dedicated to the memory of sprint car great Greg Hodnett. Fabricated from one of Greg's many trophies, the Hodnett Cup includes a base where names of future Hodnett Cup winners will be engraved. As a perpetual trophy, it will be available on race day for the Victory Lane celebration. The race winner's name and event date are added, and the trophy will be on display year-round at the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing at the Latimore Valley Fairgrounds.

The USAC Non-Wing Midgets will return to Grandview and the Thunder Series for the 2nd Annual Ken Brenn Midget Masters on Tuesday, August 4. In 2019, the USAC Midgets put on thriller on a track that many fans say was designed for the Midgets. The NASCAR 358 Modifieds are also scheduled for this program.

Levan Machine and Truck Equipment will again present Tony Stewart's All Star Circuit of Champions on Thursday, August 27, for the national touring series' fifth consecutive appearance at Grandview. The All Star 410 Sprints will chase a $5,000 first-place prize to win the 35 lap feature event. The NASCAR 358 Modifieds will be on the program as well.

The 2020 season finale will close out with the Mods at the Madhouse Trick or Treat Triple 20s for Modifieds. That's right; heat races will open the program leading to three twenty-lap Modified features in one night. The Sportsman will be part of this event on Saturday, October 17.

MODS AT THE MADHOUSE Trick or Treat Triple 20's & Sportsman

13TH ANNUAL DIRT TRACK HEROES CAR SHOW TO MOVE TO PALMER PARK MALL IN EASTON, PA, MARCH 6 TO MARCH 8

It is with great disappointment that after twelve successful years, The Dirt Track Heroes Car Show will not be returning to the Phillipsburg Mall in Phillipsburg, NJ.

Two days before Christmas, the Phillipsburg Mall merchants were notified that they need to vacate the property, and the Mall will be closing.

"It is a disappointment, but not a surprise as the activity at the Mall has seen a decline over the past two years," commented event organizer Bob Miller. "I learned of the closing at the same time the merchants were notified."

"We had dates and an unsigned contract for the 2020 show since May 2019 and intentionally did not announce the 2020 show dates in anticipation of the disappointing decision."

The show organizers contacted the Palmer Park Mall in October as a contingency plan, and they are welcoming this event with open arms.

The Palmer Park Mall is located in Easton, PA, at the intersection of Route 248 and Park Avenue, just off route 22/78. It is a single-story mall, with 457,743 square feet of shopping. The Palmer Park Mall is somewhat smaller than the Phillipsburg Mall, so those wishing to be part of the show should enter early. The Dirt Track Heroes Show will be utilizing the former BON TON Store as well as much of the Mall walk area.

Race cars, tracks, and organizations are all welcome to be part of the show, and vendors are welcome as well. Please contact Event Organizer Justin Beltrame at 484 772 7184 for entry details.

Move-In will take place on Thursday night, March 5, at 9 PM. The show will run all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with cars and displays moving out at 6 PM on March 8.

We do wish to thank the staff and ownership of the Phillipsburg Mall. They were great friends to the show, and we enjoyed a great working relationship, especially with the security team who went out of their way every year to make us feel welcome and accommodate all our needs.

More details will be provided shortly.

Southeastern Promoters Workshop Scheduled for January 24, 2020

Inaugural Gathering Focused on Promoting Tracks, Series & Businesses

Gatlinburg, Tennessee (12/27/19) – A brand-new, race promoter’s workshop will launch on January 24, 2020. Known as the Southeastern Promoters Workshop (SPW), the gathering will be held at the Gatlinburg Convention Center in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

The primary focus of the one-day seminar is to bring promoters from tracks, series, and businesses together in one place in an effort to seek new avenues to promote future growth in racing.

“When Adam Stewart called me with the idea, I was immediately on board,” co-organizer, Ben Shelton notes. “I’ve been saying for a long time that our region of the country needs a promoter’s workshop, where folks can get together and actually put a face with a name. Not only will it give us all a chance to network, but also gives us all a platform to learn new ideas and approaches, so that we can do our part to help racing continue to grow and thrive.”

The opening breakfast will be held from 8:00 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. on Friday, January 24. The workshop kicks off at 9:00 a.m. before seeing a break for lunch from 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Resuming at 1:30 p.m. the presentations and discussions continue until 5:00 p.m., at which time a one-hour reception/ cocktail hour with hors d’oeuvres is set to begin.

“I’m encouraging promoters from all tracks, series, and racing business to attend. One thing I want to make clear, is that while I’m the series director for Crate Racin’ USA, this is not a sales pitch session for our brand. Rather this is a chance for all series and tracks to come together to learn, talk, and engage with one another,” event co-organizer,” Adam Stewart shared. “For this reason, I’ve brought Ben Shelton in to mediate and help organize the workshop. He works with multiple divisions, events and sanctions in dirt track racing across North America and brings an impartiality to this workshop.

“The bottom line is that all of the key players in our sport have got to do a better job of working together and being forward-thinking with our promotions, if we hope to be around for many years to come. That’s the ultimate goal of this workshop.”

While presenters and topics are still being finalized, the workshop will include presentations on track prep, social media strategies, community involvement, technical inspection, race promotions, new technology, sponsorship strategies, and more.

Attendees are encouraged to come prepared to ask any-and-all questions to both presenters as well as fellow seminar attendees.

Attendance is free. However, if you’d like to attend, RSVP is requested to Adam Stewart at 256-499-7536 or crateracinusa@gmail.com so that he can plan accordingly.

Other awards, including the Most Popular Driver fan vote winner, the Bobby Day Watson Sportsmanship Award, and Driver of the Year, among others, will also be presented on January 11th.

“It’s an honor to be able to celebrate our champions at the racetrack and spend the evening celebrating their accomplishments,” track owner Bob Lowery said. “These drivers are the best of the best, and they’re the ones who put on the show each week during the summer and fall for our fans and keep Bobby’s dream alive.”

Tickets for the banquet will be $25 per person and will include the evening’s dinner, which consists of prime rib, stuffed potatoes, greens, rolls, and tea. Additionally, beer will be available at the banquet as well.

Social hour will get underway at 5pm, dinner will be served at 6pm, and the awards ceremony presentation will begin at 7pm.

VICTORY LANE QUICK OIL CHANGE RENEWS FIGURE 8 CLASS SPONSORSHIP

Flat Rock and Toledo Speedway management is proud to announce the return of Victory Lane Quick Oil Change at the title sponsor of the ARCA Figure 8 division for the 2020 season.

Victory Lane Quick Oil Change, a chain of oil change shops throughout Southeast Michigan, have also agreed to sponsor a pair of events this season for the "Motor City Madmen" of the Figure 8 class.

The Victory Lane Quick Oil Change Michigan Figure 8 Championship is set for Saturday night, July 11, which will be part of the annual Fireworks show at "The Rock". The feature event on the Figure 8 course will be 30 laps.

Toledo Speedway will be the site for the Victory Lane Quick Oil Change Kids Night and Autograph Night Friday evening, July 17. All kids to age 12 will be admitted free and receive a free hot dog! Fans can walk onto the track and meet the drivers in a pre-race autograph session.

Victory Lane has also arranged for NASCAR driver Garrett Smithley to visit Flat Rock Saturday, June 6 to sign autographs for the fans. Smithley will be in the area for the NASCAR race at Michigan International Speedway that weekend.

The company, with headquarters in Plymouth, MI will also serve as the sponsor of the track pocket schedules, which will be ready for distribution in early March.

The extremely popular Figure 8's have been a weekly class at Flat Rock since 1962, and part of the Toledo schedule of events since 1965. The Figure 8 division is "pure entertainment", noted Ron Drager, Owner and Promoter of both tracks. "While these drivers and teams are very serious about their racing and their machines, the entertainment the Victory Lane Quick Oil Change Figure 8's provide is second to none."

"Our thanks to Justin and Lauren Cialella and Jim Harrington for working with us again in 2020. The company is very active in supporting and promoting both tracks. We look forward to the new season and our continued relationship with Victory Lane Quick Oil Change."

ridgeport Speedway is proud to announce that they have put together an exciting schedule of events for the 2020 season! “Excited is an understatement,” new track owner Doug Rose exclaimed. “We’ve come up with such a diverse and attractive schedule for the fans and race teams, I truly can’t wait. We’ve got the best touring series in the country coming to Bridgeport in 2020 along with the best weekly competition on Saturday nights. If this schedule doesn’t get the blood pumping, you might want to go see your primary doctor,” Rose added with a chuckle.

The 2020 season will kick off with the ‘Kingdom of Speed 100 Weekend’ featuring the 60 Over Special-Doug Hoffman Memorial Race on March 28th and 29th. Friday night gets things going with an open practice for any participating weekend divisions. Saturday and Sunday will showcase the Modifieds vying for a 60-lap $6,000 first-place prize while the 358 ‘spec’ Small Blocks battle it out for $4,000 in their 40-lapper. The Speedstrs will make their first of 9 appearances in 2020, while 602 Sportsman, Street Stocks, and 305 MASS Sprints round out what is sure to be a must-see opening day weekend!

The 2020 point chase gets underway on Saturday, April 10., There are 17 scheduled traditional point races for the Spirit Auto Center Modifieds throughout the upcoming season. The South Jersey Overhead Door 602 Sportsman will crown a champion 19 point races, while the Sunbelt Rental Outlaw Stocks will battle it out over 21 races. The 2020 Point Champions will be crowned following the final night of points on Saturday, September 12th.

The World of Outlaws make their only 2020 appearance in the Garden State when the likes of Donny Schatz, Brad Sweet, David Gravel Daryn Pittman and the best in the business take on the PA Posse’s Danny Dietrich, Ryan Smith, Lucas Wolfe, Freddie Rahmer and more at the new ‘Kingdom of Speed’ Bridgeport Speedway. The stars of the Modified division will join the Outlaws in this double header show on Tuesday, May 20th.

The ever-popular Monster Truck Throwdown returns to Bridgeport for two separate two-day events. With last year’s standing-room only sold out shows, Bridgeport management and MTT decided to give the fans what they want…another weekend of car-crushing excitement! The unofficial start of summer will kick off at Bridgeport Speedway during Memorial Day Weekend. Monster Truck Throwdown will make their first appearance of 2020 on Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, May 24. Then on Saturday and Sunday, September 19th and 20th will see the return of MTT. Be sure to witness iconic trucks up close such as ‘Avenger’, ‘Crustacean’, ‘Over Bored’, ‘Miss Over Bored’, ‘Lumberjack’ and more.

The return of the ‘South Jersey Shootout’ comes on Wednesday, May 27. The stars of the STSS-Short Track Super Series will be in full fledge for this mid-week special. Modified stars from all over the Northeast that include Stewart Friesen, Matt Sheppard, Andy Bachetti, Jordan Watson, Duane Howard, David VanHorn, Billy Pauch Jr., Jimmy Horton, Mike Gular, Danny Bouc, Brandon Grosso, Ryan Krachun, Craig VonDohren, Brett Kressley, and Anthony Perrego will be going head to head with Bridgeport’s own Modified squad. The 602 STSS Sportsman will be the undercard of this year’s Shootout.

The United States Auto Club (USAC) comes to town for the 2020 Eastern Storm on Wednesday, June 10. The wingless daredevils will be making their third straight appearance at the South Jersey speedway.

"This is a great schedule with excellent spacing between events," said Venturini Motorsports co-owner Billy Venturini. "Our team will continue to compete in the ARCA Menards Series, as we have since 1982, but this schedule gives us the flexibility to run the Toledo race, as well as the rest of the ARCA Menards East events. It's great to be able to offer this to the young drivers we are working with in 2020 and beyond."

Attica Raceway Park and AFCS hand out over $76,000 in point funds

ATTICA, Ohio - Attica Raceway Park put the wraps to it's 32nd season of racing Saturday, Nov. 23, handing out awards to the top 10 in points in the track's three weekly divisions. The inaugural season of the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series (AFCS) 410 Sprint Division Presented by the Baumann Auto Group was also celebrated during the banquet. In total, over $76,000 in point fund money between the track and series was handed out 33 drivers.

Attica Raceway Park Promoter John Bores also addressed the big crowd, saying plans are full steam ahead for the 2020 racing season that begins in March.

"We put new dirt on the track last winter and it wasn't any good and I take responsibility for that. Pork Chop (Brandon Smith) and the guys got it a lot better as the season went on but it wasn't what we expect at Attica Raceway Park. We have put new clay on the track and hopefully the surface will be a lot better," Bores said. "The schedule will pretty much be the same as last year with our signature event the Brad Doty Classic on Tuesday, July 14. It's been a real pleasure working with Brad and we look forward to great weather this year. I want to thank Duane Hancock for all his hard work putting the AFCS together to help the race teams throughout the season. Of course, we couldn't do this without all our sponsors, race teams and great fans."

During the awards ceremony, nearly every driver in the top 10 in points in the track's weekly divisions said they would return to compete at Attica in 2020. Hancock also indicated marketing partners and the great supporters of the AFCS are already signing up to be a part of the series next season. Brad Doty announced the 32nd Annual Brad Doty Classic will be sanctioned once again by the NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaw Sprint Car Series in 2020.

Earn 2019 Gas City I-69 Speedway Championships

GAS CITY, Ind., Nov. 7 — When asked why he likes to race at Gas City I-69 Speedway, Thomas Meseraull had a simple answer. He said he likes Gas City because he usually does well there.

That was certainly the case in 2019. The San Jose, Calif. native won seven non-wing sprint car features at the quarter-mile dirt oval in 2019 to earn the championship at the ultra-competitive track, which averaged 27.3 sprint cars for a regular Friday-night show and presented several features which were decided by mere inches.

A total of 105 drivers earned points in the non-wing sprint car division as the track continued its tradition of being one of the premier short-track motorsports entertainment facilities in the country. Despite running four or more divisions weekly on Friday nights, the well-run programs were usually completed around 11 p.m.

And remarkably in a year fraught with rainouts, Gas City lost only two shows to Mother Nature.

Meseraull, of Waveland, Ind., drove a sprint car owned by Tom Eades of Sharpsville, Ind. for six of his seven victories. Eades’ DRC chassis is powered by a Stensland-prepared engine and it’s sponsored by Physical Medicine Consultants of Fort Wayne, Ind. Allen Brown of Kokomo, Ind. is the team’s chief mechanic.

T-Mez’s other victory came in the Don Whitney Racing No. 00, which is a Hawk chassis sponsored by Ultracell and Physical Medicine Consultants. He led every lap of the second annual Jerry Gappens Sr. Memorial in June in that car.

Meseraull, 38, had three wins in May, one each in June and July, and two in August.

He also won Gas City’s track championship in 2010.

After finishing third in 2018, Tyler Hewitt of Marion, Ind. finished second in the championship in 2019. He scored his first career sprint victory in the Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series (BOSS) non-wing sprint car feature on Aug. 9 and then took the top honors in the final regular non-wing sprint car feature of the year at the track on Oct. 5 during the first annual Fall Festival of Speed. John and Sherril Long of Albany, Ind. own the One More Time Motorsports Maxim he drives, which is powered by an Evan Jackson-prepped engine.

Cole Ketcham of Muncie, Ind. didn’t win a feature at Gas City in 2019 but he was often in the top five, which earned him third place in the track championship. Scotty Weir of Marion, Ind. wasn’t a feature winner at Gas City this year either but he placed fourth in the final point standings followed by defending track champion Clinton Boyles of Brownsburg, Ind., who had two feature victories in 2019.

Other winners of “regular” non-wing 410 sprint car features at the Grant County track in 2019 were Kevin Thomas Jr. of Avon, Ind.; Shane Cottle of Kansas, Ill.; Shane Cockrum of Benton, Ill., and Matt Westfall of Pleasant Hill, Ohio.

Cottle and Chris Windom of Canton, Ill. also won USAC AMSOIL national sprint car features at Gas City in 2019. Cottle won during Indiana Sprint Week in July while Windom was victorious in the second annual James Dean Classic in September.

Justin Grant of Avon, Ind. won the USAC NOS national midget race at Gas City in June as part of USAC Midget Week.

Sixteen-year-old Brayden Clark of Tipton, Ind. was the top rookie in the non-wing sprint car division and finished seventh in the final point standings, right behind Adam Byrkett of Burnettsville, Ind. Clark’s family-owned DRC uses an Evan Jackson engine and it’s sponsored by G&G Oil, Quality Pallet and State Farm. Clark is currently a junior at Tipton High School.

Anthony D’Alessio of Gas City; Westfall, and Tim Creech II of Indianapolis rounded out the top 10 for the season.

Scott Orr of Columbia City, Ind. won his fourth Gas City track championship for the United Midwestern Promoters (UMP) modified division. The first of his two feature victories didn’t come until July, but his consistent top-five finishes paid off. His Orr Motorsports No. 88 is sponsored by Alexander’s Garage and Orr Custom Powder Coating.

Bill Griffith of Van Buren, Ohio finished second in the modified division, in which 97 drivers earned points. Andy Bishop of Gas City, who was also the track’s street stock champion, finished third in the UMP modified point standings.

Derek Losh of Rensselaer, Ind. won six features but placed fourth in the final point standings. Clayton Bryant of Fort Wayne, Ind., 29, finished fifth in the overall championship and won the Rookie of the Year honors for the division. He got his first feature victory in August and duplicated that feat at the season finale in October.

Besides Orr, Losh and Bryant, other UMP modified feature winners in 2019 at Gas City were 17-year-old Logan Kirkman of Richmond, Ind.; Dylan Woodling of Warsaw, Ind.; Zeke McKenzie of Claypool, Ind., and defending champion Dillon Nusbaum of Warsaw, Ind.

Bishop won eight street stock features enroute to that championship in the Thompson Trucking No. 14. Mike Fincher of Rochester, Ind. finished second in the final street stock point standings, while Larry Persinger of Jonesboro, Ind. placed third and also earned the Rookie of the Year honors. Veterans Ron Flaugh of Converse, Ind. placed fourth for the season and Ervin Turner of Marion, Ind. finished fifth out of 53 drivers.

Besides Bishop other street stock feature winners included Joey Spiewak of Merrillville, Ind.; David Short of Winamac, Ind.; Tim Wilber of Coldwater, Mich.; Justin Van Drunen of Crown Point, Ind. and James Headley of Marion, Ind.

The latter’s 15-year-old son, popular James (aka JimTom) Headley Jr. of Wabash, Ind., is the track’s 2019 hornet champion. He won seven features during the course of the year in the family’s No. 00, which is sponsored by Dudding’s Heating and Cooling, Garriott Electric, Edwards Automotive and TJR Trucking. He’s in the class of 2022 at Southwood Junior-Senior High School.

Two drivers from Columbia City, Ind. finished second and third in the hornet championship. Jacob Beard was second, while Randy Brommer placed third.

The champion’s father, James Headley, was fourth for the year in the hornets with six victories. In June he was also inducted into the track’s “Walk of Fame” for being the winningest driver in track history. Dustin Franks of Portland, Ind., 27, finished fifth in the hornet point standings out of 64 drivers and was the division’s Rookie of the Year.

Besides the two Headleys, other hornet feature winners in 2019 included Josh Gamlin of Kokomo, Ind.; Gage Allen of Warren, Ind., and Cardell Moore of Versailles, Ind.

In addition to these four main divisions, other types of race cars that were in action at Gas City I-69 Speedway in 2019 included winged 410, 360 and 305 sprint cars; vintage sprint cars; midgets; USAC SpeeD2 midgets; mini-sprints; micro-sprints; TQs; late models, super streets and tough trucks. There were even competitions for monster trucks, school buses, mini-vans, vehicles pulling trailers, and moms driving passenger cars.

Imperial just another seven points back in third. Other top series contenders include El Mirage’s Eric Wilkins, a June podium finisher at CAS, and Tempe’s Alex Pettas.

ARCA Menards Series East 2020 Schedule includes Toledo date; Seven-Race Format Features Short-Track Gauntlet

TOLEDO, Ohio (November 6, 2019) - The ARCA Menards Series East officially enters a new era with a seven-race slate in 2020 that will provide a mix of short-track showcases and national series companion events. The compact stand-alone schedule will also allow for the opportunity for competitors to compete for the new ten-race ARCA Menards Series Showdown championship.

The East season will kick off as the main event of the 54th World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing at Florida's New Smyrna Speedway on Monday, February 10. The champion will be crowned on Saturday, September 12 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway's Full Throttle Fall Weekend.

Sam Mayer captured the 2019 East title at 16 years of age to become the youngest national or regional series champion in NASCAR history. He's already counting down the days until the green flag at New Smyrna.

"I am looking forward to returning to the East series to defend my title in 2020," Mayer said. "I had so much fun racing in that series this year and learned so much at every race. The competition was tough, and I'm sure it will be even better next year. With the series combining, it will give me the opportunity to race against some new drivers and become more competitive. Hopefully we can go out and win a bunch of races and take home another East series championship."

"We are really looking forward to being a part of the new East series with Sam Mayer," said Keith Barnwell, GMS Racing manager of driver development and special projects. "This will be a great series for young drivers to hone their skills and prepare for the next phase of their careers. We consider the East series like our home games, and when we travel for the Showdown it will be like home and away. We are looking for the opportunity to defend our home races and our title."

With the blending of the ARCA Menards Series with the newly renamed ARCA Menards Series East and West, and a consolidated rulebook to go along with it, opportunities now exist for traditional ARCA Menards Series teams to test the waters in the East Series. One team looking to do just that is the ARCA Menards Series reigning championship team, Venturini Motorsports.

"This is a great schedule with excellent spacing between events," said Venturini Motorsports co-owner Billy Venturini. "Our team will continue to compete in the ARCA Menards Series, as we have since 1982, but this schedule gives us the flexibility to run these seven races as well. It's great to be able to offer this to the young drivers we are working with in 2020 and beyond."

Other schedule highlights include:

New Smyrna Speedway will host the season opener for the seventh consecutive season. The high-banked half-mile is just ten miles from Daytona International Speedway, and the World Series runs parallel to DAYTONA Speedweeks Presented By AdventHealth at the "World Center of Racing." Daytona will be the site of the opener of ARCA's 68th season, with the Lucas Oil 200 Driven by General Tire on Saturday, February 8.

A pair of tracks that have hosted both East and ARCA races will be featured on the ARCA Menards Series East calendar: Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida, and Marne, Michigan's Berlin Raceway. Five Flags is the home of the Super Late Model crown jewel, the Snowball Derby, held annually in December. The quick half-mile will be the second race on the East schedule on Saturday, March 14. Berlin is the home track of former NASCAR Gander Trucks champion Johnny Benson and has been integral in the early careers of other NASCAR Hall of Famers such as Rusty Wallace and Mark Martin.

Toledo Speedway will also transition from the ARCA Menards Series on Saturday, May 16 to give the series a cornerstone event in the Midwest. Toledo's high-speed half-mile will give a great test for the East drivers and teams. The race will now be the headline event of a full Saturday of racing activity at the popular Glass City oval.

The series will be part of two short-track national series weekends: Bristol Motor Speedway on Saturday, April 4, and Dover International Speedway on Friday, August 21. Bristol, the "World's Fastest Half-Mile," was swept by Mayer in 2019. Dover moves to the penultimate race on the East schedule as part of the larger national series schedule re-organization for 2020.

The ARCA Showdown will feature ten events with a separate points championship and will include several traditional East race dates, including the annual combination races at Iowa Speedway and WWT Raceway at Gateway.

The complete NBCSN schedule for the ARCA Menards Series East, including broadcast times, will be released at a later date.
