CARNESVILLE, GA – Bill Sawyer’s Virginia Motor Speedway in Jamaica, VA will host the 40-lap $3,000-to-win, $275-to-start Aaron’s King of the Commonwealth this Saturday night. It will be round two of the 2017 for the FASTRAK Pro Late Model Series South East Region and the season opener for the FASTRAK Pro Late Model Series Mid-Ohio Valley Region.
The entry list for the FASTRAK Aaron’s King of the Commonwealth will feature the top Pro Late Model drivers in the country that have shown in the past they are capable of racing around Virginia Motor Speedway five-wide in their dirt late models powered by the economical Chevrolet Performance 604 Circle Track Engines built and sealed at the factory.

Walker Arthur of Forest, VA is the defending champion of the FASTRAK Aaron’s King of the Commonwealth race and the 2015 FASTRAK World Championship Race winner.
Cla Knight of North Augusta, SC was the 2016 champion of both the FASTRAK SE Region and the FASTRAK MOV Region. The rules meeting in January brought about a change in that no driver can win a championship in multiple Regions. Knight will defend his title in the FASTRAK SE Region, so there will be a new FASTRAK MOV Champion in 2017.
Former FASTRAK SE Region Champions will be among the entrants for the 40-lap $3,000-to-win, $275-to-start Aaron’s King of the Commonwealth on Saturday night at Virginia Motor Speedway.
