THREE VALUE PACKED RACE NIGHTS LEAD UP TO 20TH ANNUAL
“RUSTY HARPE MEMORIAL” AT CARAWAY SPEEDWAY
(Sophia, NC): The 20th Annual “Rusty Harpe Memorial” presented by Daggett Shuler Attorneys is set for Saturday July 4th at Caraway Speedway. The event marks the final chapter in an event that has honored the memory of the Late Caraway Speedway Champion, Rusty Harpe, for 20 years and is arguably one of the biggest Independence Day events in the area with 250 laps of action celebrating Rusty and the July 4th Holiday.
But the weeks leading up to that event are packed with racing, fun and value for area race fans.
May 30th features a night of “twin” features for the Limited Late Models, Chargers and UCARS. The LLM’s will run double 40 lappers, while the Chargers run double 20’s and the UCARS run two 10 lap races. The second “Twin” in each division features an inverted start based off a draw by each winner of the first feature. Mini Stocks, 602 Modifieds and the popular Crown Vics are also on the schedule. The event is also “Fan Appreciation Night” with $10.00 admission for adults with kids 12 and under in free. Adding to the excitement, all the drivers will give rides around the track in the race cars.
The June 13th “Ladies Night” features the ”Charger Challenge” 75 lap special with a $2K winners’ purse along with “Twins” for the Mini Stocks, 602 Mods and Crown Vics and a special 25 lapper for the UCARS. All ladies are admitted free to the grandstands and trackside.
June 27th wraps up the month with “NC Appreciation Night” with FREE admission for grandstand and trackside fans with racing in five divisions. The Chargers will run “twin” 20’s with Mini Stocks running a single 20 lapper. The Crown Vics will run 12 laps and the UCARS will have a 15 lap feature for the regulars on the division and then a 15 lap “Powder Puff” feature for the ladies. All this action and Free admission.
