The $1,500-to-win Joe Berry Clash of the B-Mods highlights the racing action this Friday, July 6, for racing on the river’s edge at the Lakeside Speedway.

Competitors will compete in preliminary events to sort out the lineup for the night’s main events and increased purse. Along with the Out-Pace USRA B-Mods, the USRA Modifieds, Holley USRA Stock Cars, Factory Stocks, E-Mods and Mod-Lites will also compete.

Drivers expected to contend for the win include multiple-time Lakeside winner Tim Powell, along with Lakeside Speedway regulars Brad Smith, Luke Nieman, Chase Galvan, Don Marrs, and Patrick Royalty along with Andy Bryant and drivers who may stop in for the big payout.

Friday night also serves as Union Night. Local Union members may show their official union card identifier at the general admission gate and receive free admission courtesy of Lakeside Speedway.

In addition to the night’s racing, the evening will finish off with an upgraded version of the already spectacular fireworks show in honor of Independence Day. If you saw last year’s fireworks, you already know how fantastic it was and we have an even better show planned for attendees this year.
