Saturday night shifts the spotlight to CRUSA Dirt Late Models and CRUSA Street Stocks with qualifying, heats, and feature racing on tap, while the Forever 51 main event takes center stage to conclude the weekend.
Pit gates will open at 4:00 PM each day, with grandstands opening at 5:00 PM and racing scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM nightly.
