| Orlando SpeedWorld has Big Weekend with Southern Sportsman and Florida Mini Stock Challenge | FASCAR MEDIA
Orlando, FL (April 8, 2008) Fans are in for a treat this weekend at Orlando SpeedWorld when the Florida Mini Stock Challenge and Southern Sportsman take centerstage Friday night. Also running will be the Modifieds, Super Stock and Strictly Stock.
Cody Blair leads the points for the Florida Mini Stock Challenge with 258 points over Mike Birk, Jr. with 228. Blair is very familiar with Orlando SpeedWorld as he comes to race there quite a few times during the year. Birk, who raced at Ocala Speedway before it was dirt, will use practice time to become familiar with Orlando.
Third in points is Mason Love followed by Mitchell Webb and Mark Powers.
At least one weekly Mini Stock driver from Orlando will also join the fun, Jared Allison. Allison has won every Mini Stock race this year and has proven why he was the Mini Stock Champion many years ago.
Patrick Thomas leads the Southern Sportsman with 254 points over Steve Gainey with 234.
These two drivers love to battle it out and Orando is one place where they are both good. Mike Soukup is third in points followed by Joey Catarelli and Jeff Padilla. These guys come to race and will provide the fans with a great show.
The pit gate will open at 2 pm on Friday with practice for the Florida Mini Stock Challenge and Southern Sportsman alone from 3 to 4 pm. Qualifying will begin at 6:45 pm with racing action at 8:00 pm.
Grandstands open at 6 pm with general admission $15.00, students and seniors (62 and older) $10.00, children 11 and under FREE.
Saturday night at SpeedWorld will be just as exciting as Friday when the new Semi-Pro Trucks debut for the first time this year. This class is a "trophy" only class for kids from 14 to 18 in trucks. It was designed to give the kids track time and seat time.
Also racing will be the Daytona Antique Auto Racing Association along with the Legends, Bandoleros, Classics, Outlaw Strictly Stocks and Hurricanes.
