June 26, 2015 | Posted by I-75 Webmaster
Sweetwater, TN – I-75 Raceway will celebrate the 4th of July in style on Saturday Night, July 4th. On the schedule for the night will be Limited Late Model, Sportsman, B-Hobby, Thunder, Four Cylinder, and Front Wheel Drive. Fans are sure to be treated to some great racing action, as all divisions will be running for beefier purses, as well as extra bonus money will be up for grabs, allowing drivers to cash in.
Limited Late Model will pay $2,004 to the winner, with $124 to start. Sportsman will be $604 to win, with $64 to start. B-Hobby and Four Cylinder will each be $404 to win and $44 to start. Thunder and Front Wheel Drive will each be $304 to win and $34 to start.
In addition to qualifying and heat races, every division will have a guaranteed money dash following qualifying and heat races. The top 4 qualifiers or heat race finishers in each division will have 4 laps to compete for a winner-take-all $124. The finish position of each dash will not affect the starting lineup for the feature. During intermission, we’ll have a HUGE fireworks show for the fans to enjoy.
Additionally, fans will be treated by a live performance from local musician Joey Wilson from 5-7p in the Food Court. Pizza Hut will also have their trailer set up selling their personal pan pizzas, brownies, and their famous chocolate chip cookies. Also the world famous Angie Kyle desserts while they last! Fans will also be eligible to win door prizes throughout the night, thanks to local business donations.
To recap on the season to date, in B-Hobby, there have been 7 different winners after 12 races, with 5 drivers sharing the most wins at 2 each, while averaging 10 cars. In Sportsman, there have been 5 different winners after 12 races, with Darren Goins dominating as he’s collected 6 feature wins, while averaging 12 cars. The Thunder division has seen 7 different winners after 12 races, with 2 drivers sharing the most at 3 wins each, while averaging 7 cars. Limited Late Model has seen 7 different winners after 12 races, with Cory Hedge(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) being the dominate driver with 4 wins, while averaging 18 cars.

Front Wheel Drive has seen 6 different winners after 11 races, with Kane Pelfrey leading the win column at 4 wins, while averaging 6 cars.
In addition to the beefier purses, if a driver can win both the feature and the dash, that driver will walk away with the maximum payday. The feature and dash winners in Thunder & Front Wheel Drive, with 8 cars, could walk away with a cool $428. If a driver can do the same in B-Hobby or Four Cylinder, the payoff could be $528. In Sportsman, the winner could walk away with $728, and in Limited Late Model, a cool $2,128 could be hauled away. Just for the winners alone, that’s $4,024 just for the feature winners without the bonus money.

They will be sponsoring the $124 Dash 4 Cash for the Sportsman and Limited Late Model divisions. In addition to that, they will also be providing the winners of both Sportsman and Limited Late Model a free three night stay at one of their cabins after the Labor Day holiday!
