Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Opener at I-75 Raceway is STILL ON!

(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) The biggest event in the history of I-75 Raceway is STILL ON for this weekend! Track and Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Series officials are aware that the weather forecast doesn’t look great for Saturday, but we are watching it very closely as the race nears. The open practice session - scheduled for 7:00pm-10:00pm - on Friday night will happen regardless, as weather doesn’t look to play a factor in the Sweetwater, Tennessee-area tomorrow.

Everyone associated with the new I-75 Raceway and the Schaeffer's Oil Spring Nationals Series are ready to race on the newly reconfigured racetrack and we will do everything possible to make that happen this weekend. Once again, we are monitoring the weather and will give everyone another update by NOON tomorrow.

The gates will swing open for the practice session on Friday, March 26 at 5:00pm. Grandstand admission to practice is FREE, while pit admission will be $20.00 for adults, $10.00 for kids ages 6-12, and FREE for children ages 5 and under. On Saturday, March 27, the pit gates and tier parking will both open at 3:00pm with the grandstands opening at 4:00pm. The drivers meeting is scheduled for 6:30pm and hot laps will take to the racetrack at 7:00pm. Adult admission will be $25.00 into the grandstands, $30.00 into tier parking, and $40.00 into the pit area. Kids ages 6-12 will be admitted into the grandstands and tier parking for only $15.00, while pit admission for that age group will be $20.00. As is the case on Friday, all children ages 5 and under will be admitted onto the grounds for FREE.

The season-opening program for the Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Series on Saturday, March 27 will feature a complete show of FK Rod Ends Group A & B qualifying, heat races, consolation events, and a 53-lap headliner.
