CV Trackside is All Over the South This Weekend

CV Products —  October 18, 2013 | Category: Trackside Program | Comment

It’s looking to be a hectic weekend for racecar drivers, their fans and those of us here at CV Products who travel around to racetracks on a weekly basis. We’ve got a pair of NASCAR races out of Talladega and another NASCAR event in Georgia, an American Lemans Series — also in Georgia — along with the Pro All Stars Series in North Carolina, and the season finale of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series in Ohio. Look for our enormous — and spiffy — 18-wheelers in the pits at all these events. We’ve got gear for every type of race team possible!

Here are the particulars:

Orange Blossom Special 500

A carload of race fans can get into the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) event at the Orange County Speedway for twenty bucks on Saturday to enjoy watching 150 laps of super late model action. Cram more than four adults in the car and the extras will pay only $5 each. Any additional adults in a vehicle with more than four adults will only be charged $5 more per person. And if you live the area, you might know third-generation racer Tate Fogleman who’s garnered more training and experience at Orange County than any other track.

  • Series: Pro All Stars Series
  • When: Saturday, Oct. 19
  • Racetrack: Orange County Speedway
  • Location: Rougemont, North Carolina
  • Note: CV’s trailer is in the pits and available for people with pit passes only

33rd Annual Red Buck Dirt Track World Championship

This is it! The season finale for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series season and it all wraps up with the 33rd annual Red Buck Dirt Track World Championships. This event is promoted by Carl Short, and has been for the past 32 years. Jim Dunn won that first event, only to die two years later while competing in a NDRA event. In Dunn’s honor, Carl Short added the Jim Dunn non-qualifiers race to the DTWC event schedule as a tribute to the late driver.

Kyle Busch returns to action this weekend at Talladega with the most wins of any driver in the series – four, at Charlotte, Dover, Bristol, Chicago. He won at Talladega in 2009-10… NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competitor Timmy Hill will attempt to make his first NASCAR Camping World Truck start this weekend.

Camping World RV Sales 500

Jeff Gordon has won six times at Talladega Superspeedway, best among active NASCAR Sprint Cup competitors. But the four-time champion knows first-hand why Sunday’s Camping World RV Sales 500 (2 p.m. ET on ESPN, MRN, and SiriusXM Satellite Radio) is called a wild card event in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. Gordon has celebrated in the 2.66-mile track’s Victory Lane. But more often – nine times in 42 starts to be exact – the 42-year-old Californian has failed to finish a Talladega race. He arrives in Alabama this week fourth in the Chase standings, 36 points behind leader Matt Kenseth.

  • Series: NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
  • When: Sunday, Oct. 20
  • Racetrack: Talladega Speedway
  • Location: Talladega, Alabama
