Trailers NASCAR 358 Modifieds there have been eight different winners, the BRC Late Models have six winners and the Sportsman have six different winners.

In the BRC Late Models six time champion Chuck Schutz will be looking to add another win to his resume and in the Sportsman point leader Brett Kressley will be looking to get back to victory lane. With more than 75 racers on hand last week these three will have plenty of competition has another big field of racers is expected to be on hand.
