Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Series Gears Up for Tri-County, Crossville, Clarksville Triple Shot
(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) On the heels of a wildly successful weekend in series events at Wythe (VA) Raceway and Tazewell (TN) Speedway, which were won by national stars Brandon Overton and Chris Madden respectively, the Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Series will now gear up for a huge tripleheader from April 21-23 in the states of North Carolina and Tennessee. Up first will be a trip to Ray Cook’s Tri-County Race Track this Thursday night for a $4,053 to win shootout. Past series winners at the track dubbed as the “Tiger Pit” include Casey Roberts ('13), Mike Marlar ('14), Donald McIntosh ('19), and David Payne ('21).
Another $4,053 top prize will then be on the line on Friday evening in a visit to Crossville Speedway in Crossville, Tennessee. The Volunteer State oval has hosted four past Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Series shows, which were won by Ricky Weiss ('17), Michael Chilton ('18), Donald McIntosh ('19), and Dale McDowell ('21). The third and final contest of the weekend will take place on Saturday at Clarksville Speedway in Clarksville, Tennessee and a $10,053 winner’s check will be up for grabs for the ground-pounding Super Late Models. The Spring Nationals tour made their debut at Clarksville last year and Tanner English walked away with the five-figure payday ahead of a top five that included runner-up Jadon Frame, Donald McIntosh, Dale McDowell, and David Seibers.
