Anytime Fitness, Courtesy Chevrolet 150 at Kingsport
The UARA-STARS are heading to Kingsport Speedway for the much-anticipated race that will be run there this Saturday, November 7th. The last time the UARA visited the Kingsport Speedway was in 2002. The date was August 9, 2002 and it was a very young Danny O'Quinn that took the pole position with a time of 15.438. O'Quinn was also the winner of that event.
The Anytime Fitness, Courtesy
Chevrolet 150 is being presented by Choroideremia Research Foundation.
UARA and Kingsport employees have
been working the past few weeks getting the speedway ready for this exciting event.
Racing along with the UARA-STARS will
be the Street Stock and Pure Four divisions.
The Street Stocks will have a 30-lap feature and the Pure Fours are scheduled for 25 laps.
Drivers and fans alike are excited
about returning to the speedway. Several UARA teams have visited the track for practice sessions.
Kyle Grissom, Grant McGinnis, Brennan
Poole, Zeke Shell, Wade Day, Wayne Hale and Mardy Roberts have all visited the track to check it out.
With each practice session the fans have dropped in to see the action.
Grissom said: "It is tight - the
tightest track I think I have ever been on- but it is going to be good."
Coming down to the wire for the
Championship, Kingsport will be an even playing ground for all the drivers. No one will have a track advantage at Kingsport,
especially since the track has been closed for so long. This will be the next to last UARA 2009 race.
Bloomingdale Car Care has posted a special award. The pole winner will receive a $ 50.00 bonus if he/she breaks the track late model record of 15.236.
If the pole winner qualifies below the 15.000-second mark then the bonus will double to $100.00.
Another special award for the Kingsport Race will be the Racerslounge.com Best Appearing Car Award / presented by Showcall.
The UARA will have an open practice
for UARA-STARS late model cars only on Friday in preparation for the Saturday event.
This session will run from 10 am until 5 p.m.

7:30 am Pit Gates Open
11:00 am Grandstand Gates Open
