Officially the season gets the green flag at 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 2nd when the NASCAR Whelen All American Series 358 Modifieds and Late Models start their battles for the lucrative NASCAR and track titles which offer some attractive point fund money for the top performers at the end of the season.
