To start the season ending special program, the 358 Small Block Modifieds will invade the 5/8th mile oval on Friday, November 15 with a 30-lap feature paying $3000 to the victor, $500 for tenth and $225 to start the main event. The fourth round of Black Flagged Racing’s Outlaw Stock Car Shoot-Out Series will reward the winner of the 20-lap feature with at least $500.
