Young Oil Corporation presents the 20th Annual USA Nationals at Cedar Lake Speedway

The Tradition Continues!

The 20th Annual USA Nationals is here. With an even bigger purse from prior years, all race fans will want to be at Cedar Lake Speedway on August 2nd thru 4th. The country’s best Late Model drivers will be competing for one of the biggest money shows in the nation. At this time, drivers from 17 states have indicated that they will be attending this year’s event. Cedar Lake Speedway is expecting the largest turnout of cars in recent history of the USA Nationals as other sanctioning bodies are not racing that weekend.

Consistent with Cedar Lake’s decision to go unsanctioned in 2006 for this event, the purse has been increased yet again; however, ticket prices have remained the same as 2006. Last place in the main event pays $3,000 while the winner of Saturday’s 100 lap main event will take home a whopping $50,000 and total monies paid out over the weekend will be near one quarter of a million dollars!

To add to the excitement, this year’s USA Nationals will present a full race program of WDRL Late Models and a winner’s check of $5,000 on Thursday August 2nd. This creates 3 days of top Late Model racing as many of the best drivers will be present on Thursday to prepare for the huge event on Friday and Saturday. Thursday’s program will also include a full program of DTRA Super Stocks, Midwest Modifieds and Street Stocks.

Friday’s program consists of preliminary events leading up to the $50,000 to win feature Saturday night and a complete show of DTRA Late Models providing feature racing each and every night! On Saturday, the intensity and competition will be at a fever pitch as drivers compete for bragging rights and the huge $50,000 winner’s check. To round out the program, another complete show of DTRA Late Models will be in action.

Tickets are available at the door and nobody will be turned away. Reserved camping on the front stretch is sold out. However, there is plenty of camping available on the backstretch. The backstretch camping was recently re-done and reserved sites are available by calling 612-363-0479. A reserved site is $25 for all three days. There are also a limited number of free sites available on a first-come, first-served basis. Be There!

The USA Nationals is brought to you by Young Oil Corporation – the largest Oil and Natural Gas exploration company in Tennessee. Young Oil is a private company that allows investments to be made directly for qualified investors and all drilling is done in the states so there is no need to invest overseas. In fact, Young Oil recently struck the largest Oil well in history in the state of Tennessee.
