Bluegrass State Doubleheader Next for Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Series
(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) The Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Series presented by Coltman Farms Racing and fueled by Sunoco treks to the Bluegrass State on May 9-10 for a big doubleheader weekend! Up first will be the tour’s inaugural visit to Rockcastle Speedway in Mount Vernon, Kentucky on Friday night, as a $7,553 first place prize will be on the line in the ‘Finn Watson Memorial.’ On Saturday evening, the dirt-slinging action will quickly shift to Lake Cumberland Speedway in Burnside, Kentucky for the annual running of the ‘Johnny Wheeler Memorial,’ which will boast a $10,053 payday.
Saturday’s stop at Lake Cumberland Speedway will also mark the fifth race that counts towards the coveted Coltman Farms Cup, which will provide extra bonus money and a unique trophy at the end of the year.
