BRASSTOWN, NC (March 17, 2017)—The Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Series and Smoky Mountain Speedway located in Maryville, Tenn. will make up the 10-lap Consey and 75-lap Tennessee Tipoff Classic paying $15,000-to-win on Thursday May 4th.
The makeup date will open a big weekend of nice paying races in the area. With the rescheduled makeup date, drivers and fans can attend Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series events on Friday May 5th at Tazewell (Tenn.) Speedway and Saturday May 6th at Florence (Ky.) Speedway. Also in the area, the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series will be in action on Friday May 5th at Cherokee (S.C.) Speedway and Saturday May 6th at Fayetteville (N.C.) Motor Speedway.
Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, Tenn. is the defending race winner which was sanctioned by the Spring Nationals Series. Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, Ga. and Chris Madden of Gray Court, S.C. shared Tennessee Tipoff Classic victories during the event in 2014.
