The FASTRAK Racing Series just never seems to stop giving back to the teams as now $6000 in tow money is guaranteed in addition to the purse each night and $250,000 in point fund money.
Over $250,000.00 is up for grabs in October. Know as the “richest point fund for grass roots racing’ in the country, the popularity of the FASTRAK Late Model Series still continues to grow every day. Expecting over 70 dirt late models each day will surely make this one of the largest events in the nation. The side by side restarts running under the choose format makes it one of the more competitive events all year long and is certainly a fan favorite. Several fans and drivers were quoted as saying it was the single best race they had ever seen. That you didn’t know who was going to win it until the checkered flag fell.
The tow money will be divided equally among all the teams that did not make the show in nights 2 and 3 of the Grand Nationals. “This will help the teams that made the trip but for whatever reason didn’t make the shows” stated FASTRAK Founder Stan Lester. “I think all of our teams see that we are doing our best to help everyone and that every team is important. They are all FASTRAK teams and that means it’s our responsibility to make sure they too, are taken care of”. *Teams must compete in all three Grand National races to be eligible for the tow money,
Nights 2 And 3 will be the challenge of the entire year with teams from 23 states expected to make the trip. Each Region will hold its on NIGHT 1 this year differing from the 2006 Grand Nationals. Then two to three weeks later everyone from across the country comes together for the ending races of the 2007 season. The team with the most points at the end of the three races earns the $50,000 to win first place prize paying a possible fifty positions. 2006 Grand National Champion Steve “Hot Rod” LaMance took home the prize which was the largest in his over thirty years of racing. LaMance was a many time Super Late Model Champion but decided from a standpoint of economics, FASTRAK was definitely the way to go in the future. “Think about it” said LaMance. “I took a 1999 model car, a open trailer, stayed at my home track all year with the exception of a few touring races I went too, had a pick up truck and open trailer, bought only 10 tires all year long and won $50,000 plus another $32,000 in contingencies. I mean man, this was with a $5000 engine. How much better does it get than that”?
LaMance was definitely the “story book” ending to a remarkable year of the FASTRAK Late Model Series. LaMance was helped by many manufacturers throughout the 2007 season because of his accomplishments with the series in 2006. “I have never had that much factory support from sponsors” said LaMance. “A lot of people have helped me during my racing career but FASTRAK has become so popular the amount of interest was really surprising”.
Time will only tell who the 2007 FASTRAK Grand National Champion will be. The three race shoot out format has become one of the most popular races in the entire country. Fans are sure to be pleased as it is as much a show as it is racing. “Expect to see some different things this year” said Lester. Our teams are second to none but without our fans we just don’t exist. The fans are incredibly important and we will give them one of the best shows they have ever seen. I know some people may not have heard of some of these drivers but come on and watch them. Give them a real opportunity to show the fans what they can do. Not all of them have the funds to go super racing but that does not mean they aren’t good drivers. Our drivers are not good, but great. You take EQUAL engines, EQUAL tires and great drivers and you are guaranteed to see some incredible racing. Add the autograph sessions, fireworks, side by side restarts and it is a recipe for success. The teams are racing for a piece of the $250,000 but the fans will get a lot more than their moneys worth. This is a three day shoot out you won’t forget for a long, long time.
