FASTRAK MAKES EXCITING CHANGES TO THIS YEAR’S $20,000 TO WIN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

Jamaica, VA – Fastrak teams have been looking forward to this weekend all season long and the wait is almost over as the world’s richest Pro Late Model event will take place October 2 – 4, 2014 at Virginia Motor Speedway in Jamaica, VA. Better known as the FASTRAK World Championship it is the single largest paying event for Pro Late Models on the globe. The event will pay a whopping $20,000 to win and $1000 just to make the main event. “It’s an incredible place for an incredible event” stated Stan Lester Founder of the FASTRAK series. “Bill Sawyer and his staff have put one of the most amazing places in dirt track history together and they are about to host one of the most amazing events in Pro Late Model history”. This is the best of the best in Pro Late Model racing. Teams from Indiana, New York, West Virginia, Georgia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, South Carolina, Ohio and Kentucky are about to undertake the most exciting race of their career. After a lot of research, thought and deliberation FASTRAK officials have announced several changes for this year’s World Championship. First, the number of races required to participate in this year’s World Championship event has been changed from the originally planned 12. To qualify to compete in this year’s event you must have been signed up as a FASTRAK member by the June 15th deadline and have run at least one FASTRAK event of some type this season. No one has been added that was not already a member. The rule book stated “12 unless we see Noah’s Ark”. Well up North some might think they needed an Ark as rain played havoc for many of the FASTRAK weekly sanctioned tracks. “I want to reiterate that this is NOT and open show and that NO ONE has been added that was not already a member of FASTRAK by our June 15th deadline,” stated FASTRAK owner and founder Stan Lester. Adding, “You can bet that will ALWAYS take care of all of our members because they are the reason we are able to do all this.” Second, a $1500 to win $250 to start Non Qualifiers main event has been added allowing for a total of 50 competitors to compete in an A-Main. And this year for the first time in history of the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP there will be ‘tow money’ for the teams not making either feature. If a competitor had the original required 12 races to qualify to come they will receive $500 in tow money for help with their fuel bills. The teams with less than 12 races will receive $250 in tow money. “We wanted to make sure we took care of all our competitors but also give some added value for those drivers that did get in at least 12 races,” stated Lester. “We will also have a provisional available to a driver that has at least 12 qualifying races and doesn’t make it in through the heats and B-Mains,” added Lester. The registration fee for this year’s World Championship will be $100 if you pre-register by September 24th or $150 at the event. “This is a huge savings for our teams as in previous year’s they paid $105 each night of the event; this one change will save them at least $215 if they pre-register,” commented Lester. Go to the FASTRAK website to preregister for the World Championship and it must be postmarked by September 24th. Invitations are being sent to all eligible drivers.
