Marlin, Marlin, Atwood and Martin to Battle in 200-Lapper

Sunday May 17, 2009

 

Please come out to the Fairgrounds Speedway at Nashville for an exciting day and night of racing to the finish line in five separate divisions on Saturday, May 16.  Gates open at 11:00 a.m. 

Sterling Marlin, NASCAR star and two-time Daytona 500 winner will be competing on the .596 asphalt oval as he battles former Fairgrounds competitor and NASCAR driver Casey Atwood.  Marlin’s son, Steadman, will also be dueling for the Late Model win against his father and current track champion, Andy Johnson. Tommy Jo Martin, highly-touted young developmental driver for Baker-Curb Racing will go up against the veterans in the Late Model Series in the first of three 200-lap events scheduled for the 2009 season at the Fairgrounds Speedway! 
 

Due to the threat of rain on Saturday, the Fairgrounds Speedway will resume racing on Sunday, May 17, using the same timetable as for Saturday.  See below…
