FASTRAK WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP raised to $20,000 in 2017 with Virginia Motor Speedway

The largest news coming from the FASTRAK $15,000 to win World Championship wasn’t the fact that Dennis “Rambo” Franklin was the first repeat winner in 13 years, not that he used a new box stock Chevrolet Performance Parts crate engine to do so, but the news from Bill Sawyer shocked everyone during the drivers meeting on Saturday.

“After seeing the turn out from the race teams this weekend, I thought the drivers meeting tonight was a good time to let everyone know we have decided to raise the purse in 2017 to a $20,000 to win one day show” stated Bill Sawyer owner of Virginia Motor Speedway. “We have enjoyed our relationship with FASTRAK and Stan and we have signed a new three year deal for this event plus weekly sanctioning and look forward to many years to come. Plus from now on just like this weekend, all of our big shows in 2017 will have a rain date of Sunday afternoon. That way whenever you come here to race, you know you will have a great chance of getting the show in”. People in the crowd were all smiles and clapping as Mr. Sawyer made his way out of the meeting.

“Bill Sawyer and the staff at Virginia Motor Speedway are a special group” said Stan Lester Founder of the series. “Not just because we race here, but they truly care about grass roots racing and the little guy. How many tracks take on something like this? A $20,000 to win one day show in crate late model racing? That just doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world. I truly hope the teams everywhere that run these cars can appreciate what the Sawyers are truly doing to help and they come and support this event in 2017”.

So all crate late model teams keep in mind. $5000 to win World Challenge and $20,000 to win WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP in September 2017 at Virginia Motor Speedway. Official dates to be announced.
