Friday will also feature qualifying for all four divisions plus qualifying for the Street Stocks and the Red Bank Sleep Shoppe Modifieds.
Saturday, November 28, will feature double Modified stock car action with 100-lap main events for both the tour type Modified stock cars and the Red Bank Sleep Shoppe Modified stock cars. In addition, the Street Stocks will compete in a 25-lap main event while the A.T.Q.M.R.A. Three Quarter Midgets will wrap up their season and crown a 2009 driving champion in a 20-lap feature race.
