C&C Racing Announces 2006 North South Shootout Date

Lexington, NC:  C&C Racing Promotions proudly announces the dates for the 4th Annual North-South Shootout TM.  The event will be scheduled for Friday and Saturday, November 3&4, 2006 at Concord Motorsports Park in Concord, NC and will once again showcase the best that Modified racing has to offer from both the Tour-type and SK Modifieds ranks.

 

"We are tremendously proud of what we have been able to build after only a few years," said race promoter Charles Kepley of Lexington, NC. "We will host the race, as we traditionally have, on the first weekend in November.  Fans and teams alike know from year to year when they can expect the excitement of the North-South Shootout TM."

 

After three years, the North-South Shootout TM continues to gain momentum.  The inaugural John Boy & Billy Genuine Mountain Spring Water 100 presented by Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer, held in November '03, was one of the best Modified races of the year with the last lap duel between John Blewett and Jerry Marquis.  In the second event, Donny Lia cemented his place as one of Modified racings biggest contenders.  In 2005, John Blewett III became the first repeat winner, Brian Loftin earned the South it’s first podium, and the SK Modifieds had the crowd on their feet with an outstanding inaugural race.

 

Much of the same can be expected when the best drivers from both north and south of the Mason Dixon line head to Concord for the 4th Annual North-South Shootout TM on November 3&4, 2006. 

 

In 2005, 85 of the best Modified and SK Modified drivers vied for spots in the North-South Shootout TM.  C&C Racing Promotions will be working hard throughout 2006 to ensure that a stellar (and chock-full) field will show up to compete in the 4th Annual event.

 

The format for the fourth annual event will once again boast time trials, heat races, and consolation event(s).  The Modifieds will again compete in a 100 green flag lap main event with the SK Modifieds competing in a 50-lapper.  The ever-popular vintage Modified contingent will be part of the two-day racing extravaganza as well.  Additional support divisions may be added to the schedule of events at a later date. 

 

Updates will be provided throughout the year on the event's official website www.northsouthshootout.com or for more information on the North-South Shootout contact C&C Racing Promotions at (336) 250-4383 or (508) 847-0565
