Virginia Motor Speedway Back For Fourth Season With Fastrak

CARNESVILLE, GA – Virginia Motor Speedway in Jamaica, VA returns in 2017 for its fourth season with the Fastrak Pro Late Model Series as both a Weekly Racing Series Saturday night track and the host of the most premier Fastrak annual events that include the richest Crate Late Model Weekend in the nation.

Fastrak will visit Virginia Motor Speedway three times in 2017 with $3,000-to-win races on April 8 and June 3, and the World Championship Race Weekend on September 15 and 16 for the fourth straight year.

The World Championship Race will pay a record $20,000-to-win on Saturday night, September 16 and the race will be open to all competitors. Dennis “Rambo” Franklin of Gaffney, SC won his second World Championship Race in 2016.

The $5,000-to-win World Challenge Race for Fastrak Members that have competed in at least 10 events will take place on Friday night, September 15. Ryan Montgomery of Fairmont, WV was the World Challenge Race winner in 2016. Virginia Motor Speedway will host the Fastrak World Championship Race weekend for the next three years.

“We have seen a lot of growth over the last three seasons with our Crate Late Model Division under the Fastrak banner, and we’re looking forward to continuing our relationship with Stan Lester and Fastrak for many more years to come,” Virginia Motor Speedway Owner/Promoter Bill Sawyer said. “We’re extremely excited about hosting the Fastrak World Championship Weekend for the fourth straight year. Fastrak works hard to make this an event with a festive atmosphere that fans and competitors both enjoy.”

The pride and enthusiasm of the Virginia Motor Speedway/Fastrak relationship is shared by Fastrak officials.

“Owner/Promoter Bill Sawyer and General Manager Clark Sawyer have built Virginia Motor Speedway to be one of the finest short track racing facilities in the country and we’re proud they have chosen Fastrak to be an important part of their season for the fourth straight year,” Fastrak Founder and CEO Stan Lester said. “The clay racing surface at Virginia Motor Speedway is always one of the most competitive in the country as the World Championship Race showed last September.”
