Lucrative Doubleheader at Wythe Raceway and Tazewell Speedway Next for Spring Nationals

(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Series action heats back up in a big way on April 15-16 with a lucrative doubleheader in the states of Virginia and Tennessee! Round three of the miniseries will take place this Friday night at the picturesque Wythe Raceway in Rural Retreat, Virginia. After Mother Nature nixed last year’s scheduled program at the 1/2-mile speedplant, Fred Brown’s facility will play host to its first-ever Spring Nationals show on Friday and a strong field of competitors have expressed their intentions of vying for the $10,053 winner’s check.

A trip to the Volunteer State will then be in store for the cars and stars racing with the Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Series on Saturday evening, as the 2nd edition of the ‘Lil Bill Corum Memorial’ will take center stage at the bad-fast Tazewell Speedway in Tazewell, Tennessee. Co-sanctioned with the Iron-Man Late Model Series, the single-day throwdown at “The Taz” boasts a whopping $21,000 windfall. Jonathan Davenport secured the triumph in last year’s inaugural version of the ‘Lil Bill Corum Memorial’ over a top five that included runner-up Kyle Larson, Tyler Erb, Dale McDowell, and Donald McIntosh.

There is also a $2,100 Fast Time Award up for grabs at Tazewell Speedway for pre-registered drivers - courtesy of Toyota Knoxville. The drivers that pre-entered for the contest and are eligible for the extra cash include: Ross Bailes, Scott Bloomquist, Stacy Boles, Kyle Bronson, Michael Chilton, Jonathan Davenport, Aaron Guinn, Christian Hanger, Vic Hill, Dakotah Knuckles, John Llewellyn, Chris Madden, Dale McDowell, Austin Neely, Brandon Overton, Garrett Smith, Steve Smith, Kyle Strickler, Ricky Weiss, and Mark Whitener.

At Wythe Raceway on Friday, the pit gates will open at 3:00pm, while the grandstands will start to allow fans into the venue at 5:00pm. Hot laps are scheduled for approximately 7:00pm with racing action to closely follow. Grandstand admission is $35.00 for adults, $32.00 for seniors and military, and $5.00 for youth ages 7-12. Kids 6 and under will be admitted into the stands for FREE, while pit admission for all is $45.00.
