The half-mile oval known as the ‘Speed Palace’ comes to life with the STSS Modifieds, STSS Sportsman and Pro Stocks in competition.
The opening round of the NJ Quality Drywall South Region for Modifieds is set with a 60-lap event paying $12,000 to the winner, $4,500 for fifth, $2,000 for 10th and $1,000 just to take the green flag from a total purse of more than $73,000.
STSS Sportsman launch the Belmont’s Garage South Region in a 40-lap main event offering a $4,000 top prize after 40 laps.
Pro Stocks complete the program in a 25-lap, $1,250-to-win program for the full-fender contingent.
