The ASA Southern Super Series Presented by Sunoco and ASA/CRA Super Series Powered by JEGS will sanction the 150-lap Super Late Model race, and for the second time SpeedFest will be a point race for the Southern Super Series. Meanwhile, the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by Chevrolet Performance will sanction the 100-lap Pro Late Model race once again. The INEX Legends and Bandoleros will also join the card.

Additionally, NASCAR Cup Series star Ross Chastain will again be competing at the event. Last year, Chastain mixed it up in a thrilling Pro Late Model race but came up a close 2nd to Stephen Nasse.

SpeedFest began in 2005 at the now defunct USA International Speedway in Lakeland, FL before moving to Georgia’s Lanier National Speedway in 2009. SpeedFest then found its home at Cordele Georgia’s Watermelon Capital Speedway at Crisp Motorsports Park, now known as Cordele Motor Speedway, in 2012 and has been held there ever since. Some of the biggest names in motorsports have won SpeedFest including Kyle Busch, Chase Elliott, Harrison Burton, Chandler Smith, and Corey Heim. Bubba Pollard has won the last three SpeedFest events at the track.

Friday’s schedule will consist of practice and qualifying, with all features being run on Saturday afternoon. Sunday will be used as a rain date if necessary.
