Carolina Sprint Car Tour is coming to town for an action packed evening

BECKLEY, WV (WVNS) – Racing fans, rev up your engines because the Carolina Sprint Car Tour is coming to town!

The event will take place at Beckley Motor Speedway Saturday, May 25th at 6:45 p.m. This will mark the tour’s first time in Beckley.

For the Carolina racers competing, this day is not just about the racing.

Beckley Motor Speedway President, Joseph Rush said, “The Tour Owner passed away very unexpectedly just a couple weeks ago. This means a lot to those racers that run with that series that are coming to race with us. Especially because, like I said, it will be the first event that they’ve had since their series owner passed away. It’s paying $2, 086 to win. The 86 was the owner’s number and that’s where we got that win amount from.”

There will be opportunities for spectators to participate, including different divisions like street stock and divisions for youth competition, among others. During intermission, there will also be a bike race.
