DUNN, NC (MAY 8, 2018) – Dunn Benson Motorsports and driver Bobby Pierce will be headed to Fayetteville Motor Speedway to compete in the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series on May 11-12 , the inaugural First in Flight 100 presented by Hoker Trucking, paying $25,001-to-win and $2,000-to-start. This is the biggest payout for an event in the track’s 50-year history.
“We wanted to do something special this year to celebrate the 50th Year Anniversary of Fayetteville Motor Speedway,” said track promoter, Jim Long Jr. “This historic event will be the largest payout ever at Fayetteville Motor Speedway and there is no better way to celebrate then to have the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series as the main event. With the schedule of events over two days, race fans will get plenty of exciting racing action and see the top super late model drivers from all over the country compete right here in Fayetteville, NC. We also wanted to pay tribute to a great man, Mr. Carlton Lamm who has done so much for the sport of racing in this area and been a great friend to all of us here at Fayetteville Motor Speedway.”
The one dollar addition in the amount-to-win is in memory of co-owner of the No.1 Dunn-Benson Motorsports team, Carlton Lamm. A “Big C Dash for Cash” on Friday evening will pay $500-to-win and lock in the first three or four rows (depending on car count) of the main event on Saturday evening. Lamm is a former owner of Fayetteville Motor Speedway and has continued to sponsor the track with his Dunn-Benson Ford dealership located only 30 minutes away from the half-mile speed plant.
“Dunn Benson Motorsports is excited to attend this huge event as the Lucas Oil Series has the weekend off. Dunn Benson Motorsports has a long history of success at the track with various drivers over the years but we will be looking for our first ever win at the track with our new driver Bobby Pierce. We are looking forward to racing in front of all our local fans and friends but at the same time it will be an emotional night for the Lamm family as the track pays tribute to Carlton Lamm who passed away April 16th “, stated Wayne Castleberry, Marketing Director for Dunn Benson Motorsports.
