Independent Racing Series to Invade Rocky Top Raceway By: T. J. Layne COAL GROVE, OHIO-The Rocky Top Raceway is proud to announce that the Independent Racing Series will be invading Rocky Top on Friday, July 13th for the “Engines Inc./Carl Grover Motorsports 50” Late Model show. The race will pay $5,000 to win and $400 to start with an overall purse of $24,100, making it the highest paying race in Rocky Top Raceway history. The rain date for the event will be Friday, August 17th. The Independent Racing Series is preparing for it’s inaugural season in 2007 under the leadership of Dean Miracle, a veteran race series director. The series was brought out to fill the void left in the area when the Renegade DirtCar Series was bought out. So far the series has races scheduled in Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland, visiting some of the top tracks on the east coast. The series will bring in several of the top Dirt Late Model drivers in the country to Rocky Top, including Hall of Famer Rick Aukland. The Rocky Top Raceway is also looking forward to having Engines Inc./Carl Grover Motorsports on board as title sponsor of the race. In addition to being the title sponsor of this race, Engines Inc./Carl Grover Motorsports will also be sponsors of all heat races ran at Rocky Top Raceway in 2007. The 2007 season at Rocky Top Raceway is fast approaching as Test N Tune will be on Saturday, April 14th with the Season Opener on Friday, April 20th. The completed 2007 schedule should be released very shortly. For more information go to www.rockytopraceway.net.

This will be an unprecedented event for our track. I am not primarily a late model fan,but this will be a boost for Rocky Top in that it will introduce new people to what i consider to be the best racetrack in the tri-state. Blaine Evans and Don Harmon know more about running a racetrack than most people will ever learn. All i can say is:keep up the good work,fellas.
