2010 Tarheel 50 Now a Two-Day Show at Boyd's & Cleveland - Possible $11,000 to Win

(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) Striving to put on the best show possible for both fans and drivers, promoter Ray Cook announced today that his popular 'Tarheel 50' program will now stretch into a two-day doubleheader weekend! The Boyd's Speedway in Ringgold, Georgia will kick things off on Friday night, November 5 with a $4,000 to win event. Night two of the doubleheader will then take place on Saturday evening, November 6 at the historic Cleveland Speedway in Cleveland, Tennessee and a $5,000 top prize awaits the winner.

In an exciting twist to this year's 'Tarheel 50,' a $2,500 point fund has been established to reward drivers for their efforts at Boyd's and Cleveland. In addition, a $1,000 bonus is also up for grabs if a driver can sweep both races on November 5-6. If a driver can pull off an impressive sweep of the weekend, it will be worth a total of $11,000.
