ROCKINGHAM, N.C. (February 27, 2009) - Over 40 cars are expected to invade
the Rockingham Speedway for their first taste of the historic one-mile track
when practice begins for the UARA-Stars Late Model Series on Monday March
2nd. 

 

The test will allow the teams to get valuable experience at the track in
preparation for their first race at 'The Rock' which is just a few short
weeks away on April 18th. The UARA Series will race the same weekend as the
Carolina 200 ARCA RE/MAX Series event and fans coming to the race will also
get to see ARCA practice and qualifying on the same day. 

 

The UARA-Stars run a Late Model Stock car weighting 3100 lbs. with V-8
engines having over 450 horsepower and a 390 four barrel carburetor. The
70-lap feature will bring not only the regular UARA-Stars competitors but it
is also expected to bring many Late Model drivers from local short tracks. 

 

Fans will be admitted to the grandstands for free during Monday's open test
session with practice beginning at 10:00 a.m. and will conclude at 4:00 p.m.

 

"This is such a great series and I was very impressed when they came out to
test here," said Rockingham Speedway President, Andy Hillenburg. "We are
very excited to have the UARA-Stars here and to put on a great Late Model
race at Rockingham and it gives so many racers the opportunity to race at
this historic facility."

 

Carolina 200 race weekend kicks off on Friday April 17th with Thunderfest in
downtown Rockingham from 11:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. There will be a hauler
parade through downtown Rockingham at noon on Friday for the day-long
celebration as well as most of the drivers signing autographs at 6:00 p.m. 

 

On track activities begin Friday as well with UARA practice and qualifying.
Saturday April 18th will feature the UARA race and practice and qualifying
for the ARCA cars. The Carolina 200 is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. on Sunday
April 19th. 

 

Reserved seat tickets for the Carolina 200 start at $20 with kids 12 and
under admitted for only $15 in any section with paid adult. Tickets for
Saturday April 18th are only $15 in advance or $20 the day of the race with
kids 12 and under free with a paid adult for general admission seating.
Friday is free admission for everyone.
