The ThunderCar drivers will be competing in a 50-lap feature paying $1,000 to the winner. There have been two different winners in ThunderCar action this year with Josh Garr and David McConnell claiming victories.
The Marcum’s Welding Front Wheel Drive division returns to action with Michael McKinnon winning the opening feature event. The Hart’s Auto Crown Vic Division and the Midwest Champ Karts are also on the racing program.
