NASCAR Late Model Triple Crown Begins Tonight!

The stakes in any Delaware Speedway race are always high for the NASCAR Late Models.  In a given event drivers are fighting for Delaware Championship points, NASCAR Championship points, not to mention the feature race win craved by so many of these drivers.

Tonight, add Triple Crown points to that list with the first Triple Crown points event of the year set to get underway.  The Triple Crown race raises the stakes in a number of ways.  First off, it is a separate three-race points series.  Performance in these races means a larger share in the minimum $5,000 points fund at the end of the series.  Moreover, the Triple Crown race is divided into two twenty-five lap events.  Each of those events counts for Delaware Speedway and NASCAR Championship points.

Don't miss a great night of racing with great weather!  Also on the card tonight are the Delaware Super Stocks & Demar Aggregates Trucks.

Gates Open 6:00 pm
Practice: 6:00 pm
Time Trials: 7:15 pm
Racing Starts: 8:00 pm
