The $20,000-to-win ... $3,000-to-start ... Fourth Annual Scorcher 100 is scheduled Aug. 21-23. Complete information regarding this event may be viewed by clicking the Scorcher 100 section in the left-hand side menu on the Web site.

Racers be sure to take notice of the early entry fee deadline, and for those wanting to purchase advance reserved seating, be sure to get ahold of Ginger Light. Her contact information is detailed in the Scorcher 100 section.

All competitors and crew members be sure to read the 2007 track rules and be familiar with them. The rules may be found on the track Web site in the left-hand side menu by clicking "2007 Track Rules."

With the "Ramey Ford" Crate Late Model division to be sanctioned in 2007 by the Fastrak Racing Series, drivers who compete weekly at Volunteer Speedway will be eligible for the huge national point fund offered by Fastrak. The tire of choice by Fastrak is Goodyear, so therefore for 2007 the Crate Late Model class will be required to race on Goodyear tires only. The only two tire compounds allowed will be the G45 and G50. More information about Fastrak can be viewed by visiting their Web site at http://www.fastrakracing.com ... or to inquire about purchasing tires during the week call the Volunteer Speedway office at (423) 378-5942.

Roger Clendenin Racing & Parts will have a fully-stocked parts trailer at the track every Saturday night during the 2007 racing season. The trailer will be located in the backside pits beside the concession stand, and a racing gas tank is in place beside of the RCR parts trailer. For more information about RCR, give Roger Clendenin a call at (423) 357-8251.

Drivers' between the ages of 16-18, before you compete in your first race you must bring either your driver's license or birth certificate with you to the track to verify your age. Plus, a consent form must be signed by both parents. Also, anyone under the age of 18 wishing to enter the pit gate (pits and backside tier-parking), you "must" have your parent(s) or legal guardian sign the proper paperwork to allow you access. The paperwork only needs to be properly filled-out one time, and it will then be kept on file.

All cars are required to have hookup points on both the front and rear for the wreckers to easily attach to during wrecks, helping to make clearing the track a quicker process.

While visiting the Web site, be sure to check out the 2007 race schedule at "The Gap." Also for a look back in the past, look in the "Remember When" and "Remember When (Part II)" sections for some old photos.

Race fans from all 50 states and also from several foreign countries visit the East Tennessee region two times a year for the NASCAR racing at nearby Bristol Motor Speedway.
