FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (January 16) - The Carolina Clash Super Late Model Series is proud to announce their schedule for the 2008 season.
The 23 race schedule is highlighted once again by the season ending 'Carolina Clash Bash' on September 27 at Fayetteville Motor Speedway. Several new tracks have been added for the new year including; Screven Motor Speedway (Sylvania, GA), Hartwell Motor Speedway (Hartwell, GA), Virginia Motor Speedway (Saluda, VA) and a visit to Lavonia Speedway (Lavonia, GA) for the first time since 2003.
Other special events on the schedule include the '9th Annual Skyler Trull Memorial' at Cleveland County Speedway and the '29th Annual USA 100' at Virginia Motor Speedway which will be co-sanctioned with the Mid Atlantic Championship Series (MACS).
The nine year old tour will see several major changes to the championship format including their new 'Countdown to the Cup Championship Series'. This series will serve as a playoff system for the drivers that qualify for it throughout the regular season. The 'Championship Series' will be a five race playoff with each event paying at least $5,000 to win!
"We are very proud of our new schedule," said Series President Larry Lee. "We have worked very hard with our promoters to come up with the best schedule in the history of the Carolina Clash Series."
"The Championship Series is our own from of NASCAR's 'Chase'. It is going to be very exciting and should add plenty of drama to our series as our racers battle all year long."
To qualify for the 'Championship Series' a driver can miss no more than two events in the 16 race regular season. The Skyler Trull Memorial and the USA 100 will be bonus point events. By attending these two races the teams can add bonus points toward the 'Championship Series' total. The victor of the 'Countdown to the Cup Championship Series' will pocket a minimum of $12,000.
