Story By: RYAN DELPH / SPRING NATIONALS SERIES – BURNSIDE, KY – Lake Cumberland Speedway and Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Series presented by Coltman Farms Racing officials have been forced to cancel tonight’s $7,553 to win event at the historic Burnside, Kentucky oval after overnight rain – with more on the way – has left the grounds heavily saturated.
With the pit area especially muddy and another round of showers headed towards the area in the afternoon, the Spring Nationals inaugural visit to LCS will unfortunately have to wait. Possible reschedule dates will be considered for this year, but the series looks forward to working with Lake Cumberland Speedway in the future.
What was supposed to be a tripleheader weekend for the Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Series will now be just a single show on Saturday, April 29 at Clarksville Speedway, as the tour visits for a third time. Tanner English captured the series win in 2021, while Jadon Frame beat Brian Shirley, Carson Ferguson, Josh Putnam, and Payton Freeman for the victory in 2022. All of the track’s regular weekly classes will join the Super Late Models in action at the Clarksville, Tennessee oval with each of those divisions utilizing hot lap/qualifying together to help speed up the program.
All gates will open tomorrow at 4:00pm, hot laps will hit the racetrack at 6:00pm, and racing will get underway promptly at 7:30pm. A variety of grandstand ticket options are available including: Adults for $30.00, Military for $28.00, Seniors 65 and Older for $23.00, and Youth Ages 6-10 for $10.00. Pit admission will be $45.00 for adults and only $35.00 for children ages 10 and under.
Clarksville Speedway is located at 1600 Needmore Road in Clarksville, Tennessee. If you can’t make it to the track, we invite you to watch all of the action LIVE on FloRacing at https://flosports.link/3YNyY0y.
Defending Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Series Champion Carson Ferguson comes into Clarksville leading the point standings by only sixteen markers over Ross Bailes. Kenny Collins sits third, Haiden Cowan finds himself in the fourth position, and Caden Mullinax rounds out the top five.
There have been four different winners on the tour in five races so far in 2023, as Brandon Overton (Swainsboro Raceway), Wil Herrington (Senoia Raceway), Cory Hedgecock (411 Motor Speedway), Joseph Joiner (Buckshot Speedway), and Brandon Overton (East Alabama Motor Speedway) have all celebrated in Schaeffer’s Oil victory lane.
