Tim McCreadie will start the North-South 100 from the pole
One of Dirt Late Model racing’s most prized events got underway on Friday night(and into a rain delayed early Saturday morning) as drivers worked to secure starting spots for the 38th annual Sunoco North-South 100 through a series of heat races that use a passing points format. Each driver would compete in two heat races with points being awarded for either holding on to a starting position or moving up in the running order. When all was said and done at the Union, Kentucky track on Friday night, it was Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series points leader Tim McCreadie and home state standout Michael Chilton who had earned front row starting positions for the $50,000-to-win main event that will be contested on Saturday night.
There was no qualifying as drivers drew for their starting position in the first round of heats with the lineups then be reshuffled for the second round. The top-16 points earners from those heat races were then locked into the starting lineup for Saturday’s North-South 100. All other drivers will have to make their way into the main event through B-main races held on Saturday.
