Gobbler 100 ($20,000 to win) | Crate Late Models ( Brad Keselowski)

NASCAR is set to race their first race on the dirt at Bristol Motor Speedway. This week and next, Cup drivers will be hitting dirt track across the country in advance of that event.

With Keslowski in the pit area, the fans have shown up in bulk. It’s standing room only with parking backed up forever.

The crowd is here to watch the NASCAR driver return to the short track. With only four cars in Keselowski’s 604 crate heat race, he’ll automatically make the main event.

Brandon Overton is also in the field. After winning his B-Main, he’ll be flying to the front from the back of the field. Overton is a new entry in this class as he wasn’t in the November running.

Richie Stevens was scheduled to start from the pole position after qualifying on the pole last year. However, he’s not in attendance tonight.

Wil Herrington and Ahnna Parkhurst line up on the front row.

The 21 car field is set to race for $3,000. 30 laps of crate late model racing are up next…
