4 min read
(May 8, 2024) With only four Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Series presented by Coltman Farms Racing and fueled by Sunoco contests left on the 2024 calendar, the miniseries rolls into Beckley Motor Speedway this Saturday, May 11 for the annual running of the ‘Beckley USA 100.’ Established in 1977, the ‘Beckley USA 100’ is rich in history, but the storied race has never been sanctioned by the Spring Nationals tour until now. A whopping $20,053 top prize has been earmarked for the winner of Saturday’s 100-lap headliner out of an over $63,000 Super Late Model purse.
An open practice session ($100 per car) will officially kick off the ‘Beckley USA 100’ weekend at the Mount Hope, West Virginia facility on Friday, May 10. Joining the ground-pounding Super Late Models on the racing card on Saturday, May 11 will be the AAS Pro Late Model, Street Stock, SCDRA 4-Cylinder, Enduro, and Juice Box divisions. The pit gates will open at 2:00pm, the grandstands will open at 4:00pm, and the Drivers Meeting is slated for 6:30pm. Hot Laps will then take to the racetrack shortly following the conclusion of the Drivers Meeting.
Grandstand admission for May 11 will be $30.00 for adults, $28.00 for Military w/ ID, $10.00 for kids ages 5-12, and FREE for children ages 4 and under. Pit admission for the ‘Beckley USA 100’ will be $45.00 for adults, $20.00 for kids ages 3-10, and FREE for young children ages 2 and under. Skip the lines by ordering your general admission tickets online at www.myracepass.com/tracks/1139/tickets/1400841. The historic Beckley Motor Speedway is located at 301 Race Track Road in Mount Hope, WV 25880.

The Spring Nationals has seen six events escape the wrath of Mother Nature this year and six different drivers have etched their name into series lore. Ethan Dotson (Waycross Motor Speedway), Brandon Overton (I-75 Raceway), Dale McDowell (Tazewell Speedway), Ashton Winger (Buckshot Speedway), Kyle Bronson (East Alabama Motor Speedway), and Camaron Marlar (Lake Cumberland Speedway) have all celebrated in Schaeffer’s Oil Victory Lane so far in 2024. Pearson Lee Williams, of Dublin, Georgia, finds himself atop the current point standings by only two markers over fellow Georgian Donald McIntosh, while Christian Hanger, of Winchester, Tennessee, sits in the third position in the latest point tally.
The Spring Nationals tire rule in 2024 is Hoosier Racing Tire NLMT 2, 3, 4 and American Racer Tire 44, 48, Pro3/56, Pro4. Body rules and the Droop Rule will be the same as those agreed on by both the World of Outlaws Late Model Series and the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series – among others. The entry fee for the ‘Beckley USA 100’ will be $150.00 and transponders will be available to rent. Any driver not advancing into the feature field will receive $75.00 in tow money.
