The stars of the Carolina Clash are making their final adjustments to their cars for Saturday night’s race in Fayetteville, NC. Fayetteville has long been known as the home track for the Carolina Clash. Fayetteville Motor Speedway has held a Carolina Clash race every year the series has been operating and was one of the original two tracks that the Clash starting out racing at. “There’s a lot of history here in Fayetteville between the track and the Carolina Clash” said Larry Long, a Carolina Clash Hall of Fame announcer for the Carolina Clash and the current Fayetteville Motor Speedway announcer.

This trip will mark the series 4th appearance at the track this season with each trip resulting in a different winner. The first race at Fayetteville which was held in early April saw Dean Bowen win his second race of the year in the Ed Gibbons Memorial. The Carolina Clash came back to Fayetteville on June 5th and the fans got to witness a great race between Jordan Bland and Chris Ferguson. The two battled it out lap after lap with Jordan Bland being able to come out on top for the $4,000 victory. The 3rd appearance for the Carolina Clash was held on August 14th and “Mr. Consistency” Ricky Weeks took the win that evening. With 3 races and 3 different winners, the competition has been stout at Fayetteville. Fayetteville has also produced the best car count average for any track on the Carolina Clash Series this season. You can always expect a full field of cars and then some when you roll into the gates at Fayetteville.

The Carolina Clash has also seen 8 different drivers make their way to victory lane this season; Dean Bowen, Austin Dillon, Johnny Pursley, Ricky Weeks, Jordan Bland, Luke Roffers, Kennie Compton Jr., and Jeff Smith have all graced victory lane this season. Only 5 of those 8 drivers have been repeat winners including; Bowen, Dillon, Pursley, Weeks, and Smith. No one has been able to get more than 2 wins this season.
