Three huge features that include 130 laps for the Modifieds, 75 laps for the Late Models and 100 laps with the Street Stocks all sharing in a nearly $50,000 purse, which is the richest one day paying show in track history.

Paules has his sights set on winning the $5000 Modified top prize and then going after the $1500 being offered to the Late Model winner. Meanwhile Gursky will be focused on the $1800-to-win for the Street Stock 100.
