ULTIMATE SLM Teams Prepare For Round 2 of BORDER WARS @ Wythe Raceway

Off to a blazing start in 2011, the SAS East/ULTIMATE SLM Series enters the month of May with excitement and multiple storylines. The first five events of the season have already produced 4 different winners as the teams now prepare for a blockbuster weekend. While some teams are making plans to make it a double header weekend by first competing in Round 1 of "Border Wars" on Friday night at Volunteer Speedway, others are eyeing Saturday night's Round 2 at Wythe Raceway. Round 2 at Wythe will be the only ULTIMATE sanctioned event of the weekend but it promises to deliver plenty of excitement as many teams will be competing for the "Border Wars" bonus. Each of these events will pay $5000 to the winner and any driver that can capture wins both Friday May 6th at Volunteer and Saturday May 7th at Wythe Raceway, will win a $1500 bonus, raising the possible weekend earnings to an astounding $11,500!

Championship leader Chris Ferguson, though he has yet to visit victory lane in ULTIMATE competition, sits atop the standings thanks to his consistent performances and finishes. Casey Roberts and Chip Brindle are right on Ferguson's heels as the series enters next weekend's Mountain Mayhem events. Jonathan Davenport currently resides 4th in the standings followed by veteran Petey Ivey and promising star Daniel Baggerly. It will be the 1st stop of the 2011 ULTIMATE campaign at the famous Rural Retreat ½ mile facility. "I am looking forward to Saturday night and our fans can expect to see some great racing", stated Wythe owner and promoter Fred Brown. "We have been pleased with the excitement and interest in this weekend's events", stated ULTIMATE co-owner Stan Lester. "It is a thrill to go to Wythe Raceway and I am looking forward to another competitive event".

*** NOTE: Fans may purchase a two-night adult grandstand ticket on Friday at Volunteer Speedway for $30, which will admit you both nights - Friday at "The Gap" and Saturday at Wythe Raceway!

Racing action can also be expected in some of Wythe Raceway's support divisions including the FASTRAK Pro Late Models.
