(May 21, 2014) The Ray Cook-promoted Southern Nationals Bonus Races will be back in action for the second double-header of the season with a pair of events in Tennessee and North Carolina Memorial Day Weekend. On Sunday Night May 25th the Bonus tour will roll into the Bob Harris owned Duck River Raceway Park in Wheel, Tenn. for Round Number Three, a 50-lap $5,000-to-win event. The track is fresh off of two exciting events as Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, Ga. picked up the Spring Nationals Series $4,000 payday and most recently when Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky. collected $10,000 during the World of Outlaws Late Model Series-sanctioned stop.
On Monday evening May 26th the tour will roll into Ray Cook’s Tri-County Race Track in Brasstown, N.C. for the Fourth Annual Circuit World Memorial Day Championship race, which will be Round Number Four on the tour.
