Additionally, NASCAR Cup Series star Ross Chastain will be competing in the Super Late Model portion of SpeedFest.  He will make his first Super Late Model start in many years in the event, competing against the discipline’s top drivers in the first marquee event of the year under the ASA brand.

SpeedFest began in 2005 at the now defunct USA International Speedway in Lakeland, FL before moving to Georgia’s Lanier National Speedway in 2009. SpeedFest then found its home at Cordele Georgia’s Watermelon Capital Speedway at Crisp Motorsports Park in 2012 and has been held there ever since.  Some of the biggest names in motorsports have won SpeedFest including Kyle Busch, Chase Elliott, Harrison Burton, Chandler Smith and Corey Heim. Bubba Pollard has won the last two SpeedFest events at the track.

There will be an open practice on that Thursday from 1 to 5pm. Friday’s schedule will consist of practice and qualifying, with all features being run on Saturday afternoon.
