Southside Speedway Gearing Up for 2012

Twelve nights / afternoons of racing, beginning on Sunday, April 1 through Friday, August 31 are highlighted by the Late Models being on the schedule for every event.

Opening day kicks off on April Fools Day with one of the two 150 lap races scheduled for the Late Models this season. Also back in 2012 will be the Modifieds, Grand Stocks, Street Stocks, U-Cars, Champ Karts and Legends. The Virginia Mini Cup Racing Association will also make its return in 2012 for 2 dates that are to be determined. The Speedway will hold an Open Practice for all divisions on Saturday, March 24.

In an effort to help the teams keep their cost down, the Speedway has decided to keep the rules, for all divisions, the same as they were in 2011. Since the rules are not changing, there will be no rules meeting this off-season. The track has also decided to remain independent for 2012 and will not be a part of the NASCAR All American Series. "This was a tough decision for us to make, but the decision enabled us to bring back all of our regular divisions and support those that have been supporting us throughout the years," according to a track statement.
