One race remains before the much-anticipated AKRA American Sprint Cup Series Grand National Championship Oct. 21-23 at the 103rd Street Sports Complex in Jacksonville, FL.
Next weekend – Sept. 23-25 – AKRA Southern Tour racers will close out their inaugural season with Round 3 presented by IONIC Edge Chassis at the new Bushnell Motorsports Park in Bushnell, FL.
AKRA officials are looking forward to once again seeing our Southern Tour friends after a summer of four “Northern Tour” events in New York, the Midwest and Maryland. The Southern Tour has been off since the last weekend of April when Round 2 was held at Lamar County Speedway in Barnesville, GA.
