18th Annual Coors Light Fall Classic Early Entry Deadline on Thursday
Meridian, Mississippi (10/03/12) Just two weeks remain until the 18th Annual Coors Light Fall Classic at Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian, Mississippi roars to life on Thursday-Saturday, October 11th-13th, 2012. On the heels of another successful Coors Light Fall Classic ever in 2011, the event is back for more in 2012. For the eighteenth straight year, many of the best competitors in the nation and the region will converge on the southeast Mississippi facility to contend for their respective championships. The 1/3 mile, clay oval is known for its consistently racy surface, which is prepared and maintained by racing veteran, Rodney Wing.
Super Late Model competitors should note that they have until to October 4th, 2012 to file an early entry for $100. After this date, the entry fee will be $150. Competitors may file an early entry by simply calling Ben Shelton at 901-335-3037 or Jannie Thrash at 601-486-3410. Drivers please note that to ensure fair competition that the winner's check will be held for approximately one week pending tire test results from an independent laboratory.
The 2012 edition of the event will be headlined by a $15,000 to win/$1,000 to start, 100 lap Super Late Model event, which boasts a total Super Late Model purse in excess of $55,000. In 2011 Jonathan Davenport topped a field of 61 Super Late Model competitors, representing 15 states, to claim his first-ever event title, and will likely be back to defend his title in the 100 lap event against a talented field of competitors, which will likely include other former event champions including Wendell Wallace, Jimbo McDuffie, Chris Wall, David Breazeale, Brian Birkhofer, and Ronny Lee Hollingsworth.
