For years, the annual weekend event has showcased the talent of some the the best racers around and with extended lap races and larger purses for the divisions on the weekend's card of racing, the show is destined to be the absolute best of the season.
Similar to the last few seasons, each division will qualify and run their respective feature events on the same day, and all divisions throughout the weekend will be awarded double points to decide the divisional championships. The Modifieds and Sport Modifieds will qualify via time trials and depending on the car count, the way of qualifying for all of the other divisions will either be through heat races or time trials.
