General Information:
‘The Gobbler’ has been a long standing event at Cleveland Speedway but looked to be in jeopardy earlier this year with the track’s future in doubt. For that reason, Boyd’s Speedway assumed the event. Now it is being run as a two-day affair with Boyd’s hosting the Saturday night portion tomorrow night.
Riley Hickman essentially has the Southern All Stars championship locked up. It will be his second consecutive title in the series.
Jason Welshan has won every Crate Late Model race contested at Cleveland this year, dating back to the track’s re-opening in September.
