The BIG ONE is finally here. This Friday night, July 19th the Lee USA Speedway will feature the biggest most exciting event of the season for the Benson Lumber and Hardware Small Block Supermodifieds; the 2nd Annual “Moneybags Race.” Over $15,000 in total prize money is on the line, by far the richest payday of the year. ISMA’s all-time winningest driver Chris Perley is entered in one of the Witkum Brothers team cars in an attempt to unload most of the loot from the Lee USA regulars.
The race will be run in three segments, each paying $500 to the winner. The starting lineup for the first segment will be determined by time trials. A separate $500 purse will be awarded to the fastest qualifiers. A fast lap may give a driver a leg up in the first segment, but for the second and third segments the finishing order of the previous segment will be reverted. The overall winner will be determined by a point fund paying $2,000 to the winner. It would be difficult to do, but if one driver could dominate the event winning the pole and all three segments, he could walk away with nearly $4,000.
