Lucama, NC — Drivers and teams have raced throughout the 2014 season at Southern National Motorsports Park, and their season culminates this weekend with SNMP Championship Weekend. This two-day event will feature every SNMP division over two days of great racing.
Friday night (September 12) is the Race to the Championship, featuring a 35 lap Late Model Stock Shootout, where the winner takes a $1,500 prize and bragging rights of the night. Limited Late Models and Chargers will run twin-sprint races, while Ultimate Body Shop UCARs, Street Stocks, Legends and Bandoleros will all race their usual distances.
Friday night is also Hawaiian Shirt Night at SNMP, and all adults get in for $10 if they’re wearing a Hawaiian shirt.

Saturday is Champions Night at SNMP, where all SNMP champions will be crowned. The night features twin-75 lap Late Model Stock races, with all other SNMP divisions in action as well.
