    $20,000 to win One-day Show for regional Super Late Model Drivers

    The ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series turns to Virginia Motor Speedway on April 20th, paying $20,000 for the 2019 King of the Commonwealth. The event is a points event for the ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series’ Southeast region and a “Bonus Race” for the ULTIMATE Heart of America, ULTIMATE Deep South, ULTIMATE Mid-Ohio Valley, and ULTIMATE Northeast. Drivers in those regions can use their finish at Virginia Motor Speedway to replace a lower finish in their home region.

    Last year, regional Super Late Model driver Tyler Bare took home $20,000 at Virginia Motor Speedway in the first Super Late Model win of his career. The King of the Commonwealth opens the door for regional drivers to earn the biggest win of their career, with a $20,000 pay day at the end of the 60-lap feature.

    After his win at Friendship Motor Speedway, defending ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series Champion, Zack Mitchell leads the ULTIMATE points heading into the King of the Commonwealth.

      Yes it is! Why don't WOO or Lucas run there? I've never been able to figure that one out.

        I believe Lucas did run there a couple times. Think one of the events was actually televised on MavTV.

        I think it's great VMS does their own thing and tries to give some regional guys a chance to win some nice $.

          I believe it was because of not enough of a turn out of fans and drivers.

          I’m sure they’ll try again whenever a date becomes available if it’s what they want. But if they can do well and not have to pay Lucas or WoO fees, I’d stick with that.
          Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

            Unsanctioned, like it.
            I hate time trials.

                Woo and lucas have both run there in the past. They hosted both in the same season several years. I think sanctioning fees and low spectator turnout are why they don't come now.

                  Id be willing to bet that some of the big name drivers will probably venture down to this race since neither touring series is running this weekend

                        How can you call a race out for rain when there is no rain in the forecast?

                          Because the track and grounds are soaked and yesterday they had a threat for severe weather today that include tornados. Better to keep people safe then risk injury. That weather has since moved off shore and out over the ocean.
