COAL GROVE — The Rocky Top Raceway will return to action on Saturday for the running of the Fall Classic.

The season ending Fall Classic will feature special event races in all four weekly classes with Late Models paying $2,500 to win, AMRA Modified’s $1,000 to win, Bombers $800 to win, and Mod Lites $500 to win.

With nearly all of the regional tracks and the increased purses, the Fall Classic is expected to produce the highest car count of all the RTR races held this season.

An added bonus to the Fall Classic will be the running of a 50 lap, $200 to win Enduro.

The Enduro will take place after the last feature event of the evening. An Enduro was originally scheduled for Oct. 9 so this will give those who had prepared an Enduro car an opportunity to get to race it.

The Enduro allows for as inexpensive, cost effective way for people to race and provides a very entertaining race for the fans.

With cold night time temperatures the norm for the month of October, the start times for the Fall Classic will be much earlier than normal. Gates will open at noon with Hot Laps starting the day’s action at 3:30 p.m. This will ensure the completion of the event before night time temperatures set in. A track prep break will be taken if needed to ensure fans and competitors a competitive track surface.

General admission to the Fall Classic is only $15 with kids (7-12) general admission $2 and pit passes $30. For more information visit www.rockytopraceway.net
