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…

Do you want the chance to win a free Frontstretch T-Shirt, and are you really good at talking about NASCAR? Well, we have the perfect opportunity for you. Our staff will be giving away a free T-Shirt to the reader who makes the best post in our Frontstretch Forum between now and the end of the season. So, what makes a good post? It’s pretty hard to impress us, but here are some things we are looking for:
Does your post spark passionate reactions from other readers? Are you commenting on meaningful NASCAR-related events? Do your posts have substance? In other words, “Dale Jr. is the best driver ever” or “Danica Patrick is hot” will not cut it.
So go to the Frontstretch Forums, post early, post often, and post well! We’ll announce the winner following the final race of the season at Homestead.
