FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
East Alabama Motor Speedway National 100 Tire Rule & Format Change
Phenix City, AL (10-25-12) - Tire rule and format change announced for the 38th Annual National 100 at East Alabama Motor Speedway November 8 – 11. EAMS officials have listened to the concerns of the Super Late Model drivers about the tire cost involved for the drivers to compete over the weekend. The following changes have been made to help save the drivers money. The following will apply to the Super Late Models; tire rule will be Hoosier 1300 or harder and American Racer 44 or harder, all tires will be checked with durometer and tire sniffer. The Super Late Model consolation races will run Sunday evening before the National 100 after the track preparation has been completed.
The first National Dirt Track Championship race was held on the second Sunday in November 1975. Bud Lunsford held the lead all 150 laps to take home the $1500 to win. In 1980, the National Dirt Track Championship was rescheduled for 100 laps, instead of the previously scheduled 150 laps, therefore becoming known as the "NATIONAL 100". Held every year in November, the 2011 grand finale of the season saw Jonathan Davenport from Blairsville, GA take home $25,000 for his efforts. The National 100 is the oldest and most prestigious dirt track racing event in the deep south. The 38th Annual National 100 will be held November 8 – 11, 2012.
