NEW SMYRNA SPEEDWAY TRIES AGAIN SATURDAY NIGHT
Mother Nature has not been kind to New Smyrna Speedway as both weeks 19 and 20
of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Racing Series fell victim to wet weather
but, undaunted, the high banks hope to once again see action this Saturday
night with the Pro Late Models slated for 50 laps and will be joined by the
Sunshine Seamless Gutters Mini Stocks, Super Stocks and the Bombers for week
number 21 of the season.
Zach Jarrell still tops the Pro Late Model points by nine markers over both
Blaise Hetznecker and Noah Cornman who are tied for second. Ted Vulpius leads
the Mini Stock points by seven over Brad Blanton while Justin Reynolds has a
healthy 38 point edge on Bobby Holley in the Super Stocks with defending
champion Shannon Kelly 44 points behind Reynolds in third. James Skinner holds
a 15 point advantage in the Bomber standings trailed by Aaron Overman with
Shane Sutorus 27 markers in arrears of Skinner.
The pit gate will open Saturday afternoon at 3 pm with practice slated from
4-6 pm. Grandstand gates open at 6 pm with all fans invited to come out early
for the weekly pre-race party featuring live music at the Throttle to Bottle
Pub courtesy of Pub 44 in New Smyrna along with $1.00 beers and half-off the

Pro Late Model time trials are slated for 6:15 pm with racing getting under
way at 7:30 pm with heat races for the Mini Stocks, Super Stocks and Bombers.
After intermission the Sunshine Seamless Gutters Mini Stocks are up first for
their 25-lap feature followed by the 50-lapper for the Pro Late Models. The

up the evening with a 20 lap run.
