September 30, 2014

Salem, Indiana (September 30, 2014) – Two of the year’s most popular events are

making their return to Winchester 400 Weekend.  The “New Star” Features for the

Vore’s Welding CRA Late Model Sportsman Powered by JEGS and Stealth Trailers

CRA Street Stocks Powered by JEGS will be raced on Friday night, October 10th.

The only eligible drivers for these races will be drivers or teams that have not had a

top 5 finish in 2014 at Winchester or a top 3 finish at Winchester in their respective

divisions or higher, going back to 2007.  Drivers who are primarily known for racing in

higher divisions will also not be allowed to drop down regardless of their previous

finishes.  CRA officials reserve the right to deny participation in these events to

anyone to maintain the integrity of the event and ensure a quality show for the

promoter.

The payout for the Vore’s Welding CRA Late Model Sportsman special event will be:

$400-250-200-175-150-125-100-90-80-75 on out. The payout for the Stealth Trailers

CRA Street Stock special is $300-200-175-150-125-110-100-90-80-70-60-50 on out.

Jesse Opliger (CRA Late Model Sportsman Series) and J.J. Schafer (CRA Street

Stock Series) were the 2013 Winners of the New Stars races.

In Saturday’s Season Championship 50 lap Features for the Vore’s Welding CRA

Late Model Sportsman and Stealth Trailers CRA Street Stocks, a "First Timer’s

Bonus" program will be paid to the top three finishers in each division who are

making their first start at Winchester Speedway in 2013 (Friday’s activities

excluded). The bonuses are paid on top of the position payoff they earn, and will be

$100, $50, and $30.

“These New Stars Features on Friday are lots of fun,” commented CRA’s R. J. Scott.

“It’s more special because we get to see new faces competing for the victory. And,

as I've said before, it’s also another great way for people with limited experience at

Winchester to come and get the good racing experience they all really need and

want, without the pressure of being a point’s race.”

Scott further noted, “We also have bonus monies on the line for Saturday’s

Championship features in both divisions for people that haven’t raced at Winchester

this year.  If you haven’t raced at Winchester this year, it’s the perfect time to come

race, earn extra money and be a part of the legendary Winchester 400 Weekend.”
