The Chevy Super Series dirt late models are powered by the all-aluminum Chevrolet Performance CT 525 Racing Engine based on the production LS 3 Engine that is under the hood of the Chevrolet Corvette, Chevrolet Camaro and the Chevrolet SS available at Chevrolet dealerships world-wide like West Chevrolet in Alcoa, TN on the Airport Motor Mile.

Brad Hall will have his West Chevrolet dirt late model on display on Friday at West Chevrolet in Alcoa, TN on the Airport Motor Mile. People can see up close and side-by-side that Hall’s race car and a new Chevrolet Camaro, Chevrolet Corvette, and the Chevrolet SS have the same LS 3 Production Engine under the hood. They will also be offering free race tickets.

While the Chevrolet Performance Super Late Model Series brings the Tazewell Speedway race fans close, fast racing, the drivers of the Chevy Super Series bring one more thing to the fans before the races even begin that they are not used to seeing – themselves and their race cars in the Chevy Fan Zone.

The drivers will bring their race cars to the fans in the grandstand area of Tazewell Speedway before the races begin in the Chevy Fan Zone. Race fans can meet the drivers and see their super dirt late model race cars up close and personal.

Drivers will have autographed Hero Cards and there will also be special dirt late coloring books for the kids. There will also be Chevrolet Performance Super Late Model Series apparel available for purchase that the drivers will autograph.

Race fans can see the Chevrolet LS 3 engines that power the race cars of the Chevrolet Performance Super Late Model Series, the same engine that is equipped in a passenger car they can purchase at West Chevrolet, and other Chevrolet dealerships world-wide to drive to the track. This is something that is not seen in any other dirt racing series.

On Saturday at Tazewell Speedway, the pit gate opens at 4 p.m. and the grandstand gate opens at 5 p.m. Chevrolet Performance Super Late Model Series Pre-Race Registration and Technical Inspection will be from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. The Chevy Fan Zone will be open in the Grandstand area from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The Drivers Meeting is set for 7 p.m. with racing scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
