The S³/3SF Super Late Models will compete in a full racing program with a 55-lap championship feature.
Hesston is one of the few tracks where Late Model fans get to see thes top 2 late model divisions race in championship events for one low ticket price! The ultra-competitive Semi-Late Model Sportsman will also be in action in a full racing program. This class combines limited late models, steel block late models and crate late models with weigh and spoiler variances.
