What To Expect At Volunteer Speedway

There's one word to describe Volunteer Speedway: FAST. The 4/10-mile oval known as "The Gap" features 32 degrees of banking in the corners and is known as one of the fastest dirt tracks in the world. 

While the race will be filled with star power, fans will want to keep an eye on the group of home state drivers from the Volunteer State. Mike Marlar defended his home turf last year and will once again be a favorite to claim the $20,000 check. "The Newport Nightmare" Jimmy Owens (Newport, TN) will be a favorite to win, while Cory Hedgecock (Loudon, TN) could be considered a sleeper to steal the win.
