20th Annual $10,000 Blue Gray 100 will wrap up EAST Series at Cherokee Speedway Sunday November 21st
Gaffney, SC - The Southern All Stars EAST Super Late Model Series will bring another exciting racing season to a close Sunday afternoon on November 21st with the running of the 20th Annual Blue Gray 100. The Blue Gray race started as a season ending Championship race with the best drivers competing in a classic North vs. South speedway showdown. Previous winners of the Blue Gray 100 include Donnie Moran, Scott Bloomquist, the "Southern Gentleman" Freddy Smith, Donnie Clint Smith, Petey Ivey, and Chris Madden.
No one is looking forward to this race more than Georgia's Casey Roberts, who could very well become the first ever 4 time EAST Series Champion winning the 2007, 2008 and 2009 honors. This year’s point’s championship will earn the winner a $10,000 prize. If Roberts takes home the championship followed by the race win on Sunday he would carry $20,000 back home to Georgia. If he can hold off the nation’s top drivers for a grueling 100 lap finale, that is.
Traditionally, this season ending event brings out the 'who's who' of dirt Late Model racing and this year promises to be no different. Last year’s race drew 35 cars with Georgia’s Dale McDowell grabbing the win over Dennis Erb Jr. of Illinois, Jimmy Owens, Jonathan Davenport & Chris Ferguson. These top 5 drivers are hoping to be on hand with the exception of last year’s winner McDowell (who is done for the season). With the stage set for a classic BG 100 rematch, a new winner will take home the crown and gain the status as one of the elite Blue Gray 100 legends. Other drivers with this race on their schedule include Clint Smith, Steve Shaver, Chris Madden, Rambo Franklin, Freddy Smith & Ricky Weeks. The top 15 in the SAS EAST points chase are also expected with the 1st place in points still up for grabs between Casey Roberts and Johnny Pursley.
Sunday, Nov. 21st will feature an entire Southern AllStars EAST Late model Show with qualifying, heat races and 100 lap main event. Support Divisions running main events only will be City Chevrolet Crate Late Models, Crate Sportsman, Stock 4 & Young Guns. Gates will open at 11:00AM, drivers meeting at 1:00PM and racing to begin at 2PM. Cherokee Speedway is conveniently located off of I-85 exit 96 in Gaffney, SC. Track phone is (864) 489-1969.
