Later in the season Whynot will be hosting A two day Open Wheel Modified event paying $5000 to win on May 2nd and 3rd.

Special events for the Mini Stock and Street Stock are still in the works and dates have not been set. Media races and the Faster Pastor race are other races that will be added to the schedule.
Since Rodney Wing has taken over Whynot two years ago there have been nights the races were over as early as 9:45pm. Some nights were later than midnight. But most regular race nights not involving a big show were over by or before 11pm. "We've raised the bar for this season to be finished no later than 11pm. The goal is to try to be finished by 10:30pm and we will work hard to meet that goal" Wing said.
We look forward to see everyone this weekend at the Action Track of the South. For more info go to whynotmotorsportpark.com
