The 2009 grand finale at Golden Triangle Raceway Park will take place this Friday, Oct. 30 and Saturday, Oct. 31. Racing on the program will be all of the fast lane classes: Modifieds, Limited Modifieds, Street Stock, Hobby Stock and Pure Stock. The competition should be extreme as the winning purse in each class will start at $1000 and, depending on the car count, could go up to $1200. Every driver who makes the feature line-up is guaranteed a minimum of $100.
