Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Lifts Lid to Ninth Season in Peach State Doubleheader!

(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) Following a successful 2021 campaign that saw only one repeat winner in the nine series races that escaped the wrath of Mother Nature, the Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Series kicks off their 2022 season this upcoming weekend (March 4-5) with a lucrative double-dip in the Peach State. The lid will be lifted to the miniseries slate this Friday night in a visit to Swainsboro Raceway in Swainsboro, Georgia, as a $10,053 top prize will be up for grabs during the track’s annual ‘Crank it Up 100’ weekend. A fixture on the sister series - Schaeffer’s Oil Southern Nationals - schedule for many years, the Spring Nationals tour will make their first-ever stop to Swainsboro on Friday after being rained-out back in 2015.

The cars and stars racing with the Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Series will then travel 163 miles northwest to Senoia Raceway on Saturday evening for a similar $10,053 to win showdown at the storied Senoia, Georgia oval. This Saturday’s visit to Senoia will mark the eighth series race on the gray gumbo and the winner’s list reads as a virtual “who’s who” in the sport of Dirt Late Model racing. Jonathan Davenport ('16), Chris Madden ('16), Michael Page ('17), Donald McIntosh ('17), Scott Bloomquist ('18), Dale McDowell ('18), and Chris Madden ('19) have all reached Spring Nationals victory lane at the track now owned by the Pollard family.

At Swainsboro on Friday, March 4, the pit gates will open at 3:00pm, while the grandstands will start allowing patrons into the facility starting at 4:30pm. The drivers meeting is scheduled for 5:30pm with hot laps taking to the racetrack at 6:00pm. Adult admission into the grandstand will be $25.00, while adult pit admission will be $40.00. Kids ages 6-11 will be allowed into the grandstand for only $20.00 and into the pit area for only $30.00. There will also be an open practice session at Swainsboro Raceway on Thursday, March 3 from 6:00pm-9:00pm.

Along with the ground-pounding Super Late Models, Friday’s show at Swainsboro will also feature qualifying and heat races for the 604 Late Models, 602 Late Models, Street Stocks, Road Warriors, Crown Vic Pro’s, and Crown Vic Jr.’s. Each of these divisions will then run their main event on Saturday as part of the three-day ‘Crank it Up 100’ weekend. Swainsboro Raceway is located at 586 Modoc Road in Swainsboro, Georgia.
