The second tier Les Schwab Tires NASCAR Whelen All American Series Bombers, and third tier NASCAR Whelen All American Series Mini Stocks are back to battle on the famed 3/8's mile track this season.

Figure Eight racing is taking a big step forward as the FEAR club combines it's efforts and takes over the Stinger Eight program.
