festivities the rest of the weekend.
The race which will start at
8:15 p.m. will be a 35 lap feature. In addition drivers
will compete for one of the prized Copley guitars, one of the most
recognized and renowned trophies in the
United States.
"It is great that Norm and I can be part of this great event," said
Gene Weaver. "We know that there will be a great turn out to see
these legends on the track again."
There will be an autograph session at
6:45 p.m.; this will be right after qualifying so the
fans will still feel the heat of the engines.
The Music City Motorplex has a great racing tradition and this year
marks the 50th year of racing at the famed high banked short track
in Nashville. The big birthday celebration will
be kicked off with the inaugural Old School Racing event July 18,
followed on July 19th by the Strutmasters.com 150, a NASCAR Camping
World Series event presented by Dollar General and the CRA Super
Late Model 150 on July 20.
In addition to the race that will have the "old school" drivers
competing, there will also be another race that night that will
include some of the great local talent on display.
“We are excited to be a part of the "Old School" program. What
better way to celebrate our rich history of motorsports
entertainment than to have some of the Legends of NASCAR kick off
our birthday 50th party with not only an autograph
session, but to see them compete as well. We believe this is the
"Don't Miss" event of the season’ said Ron Jennett, General Manager
of Music City Motorplex.
