WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – There’s a monster night of racing ahead as Bowman Gray Stadium gets set to host Advance Auto Parts Night at the Races.
Last week’s postponed Kevin Powell Motorsports 100 and a 50-lap QRC HVAC and Refrigeration Street Stock Race will co-headline the Advance Auto Parts Night at the Races this Saturday, May 10.
The $3,000 Fans’ Challenge and the random draw qualifying format will be in play for the Brad’s Golf Cars Modified Series drivers this week. Modified Series co-points leader Mike Speeney is one of the drivers who says he’ll take the Fans’ Challenge if the opportunity presents itself.
“No question, “Speeney says. “We’re not here to points race. We’re here to have fun, and my sponsors gave me full support to do the Fans’ Challenge.”
Defending Brad’s Golf Cars Modified Series Champion Burt Myers is also excited for the Fans’ Challenge.
“(The drivers) really like bringing the fans into the action,” Myers says. “Without the fans, we don’t have a show to put on.”
Meanwhile, the QRC HVAC and Refrigeration Street Stock Series drivers will do time trial qualifying for the first time this season ahead of their 50-lap race. This could be key for drivers with fast cars who’ve been forced to work their way to the front due to the random draw qualifying format.
The Law Offices of John Barrow Sportsman and Q104.1 Stadium Stock Series drivers will also be in action, and Advance Auto Parts gift cards will be included in this week’s Lucky Numbers in the Bowman Gray Stadium souvenir program.
Fans can buy tickets online and find parking information at www.bowmangrayracing.com. Adult tickets are $12 and kids ages 6-11 get in for $2.
Gates open at 6 p.m., qualifying starts at 7 p.m., and racing starts at 8 p.m.
