CONCORD, N.C. (August 8, 2012) – Concord Speedway is eager to welcome back all of our Quarter-Mile competitors from what we hope was a successful and fun Summer Shootout Series at Charlotte Motor Speedway for a doubleheader weekend on August 24 and 25.

RPM Pro-Formance Legend Car and Bandolero racing will return stronger than ever with six divisions of points battles yet to be decided! The Brooks Davis Memorial Scale Racing League or Davis SRL Series, previously known as the Arena Racing Outdoors Series will be back racing on our Quarter-Mile track as well. The series will race under the Davis SRL Series banner to honor one of the series’ ambassadors, Brooks Davis. Davis passed away at the end of June and his passion and enthusiasm for the sport will be greatly missed by competitors and speedway staff.

There have been a few modifications to our Quarter-Mile schedule to include more race dates. This will be our final schedule for the remainder of the season, however, there are more details coming about the season finale race weekend on October 5, 6 and 7. Please review our schedule at: http://concordspeedway.net/quarter-mile-schedule/

Feel free to contact the speedway office at 704-782-4221 or visit our website at www.concordspeedway.net with any questions. We look forward to all of our fans and competitors joining us to make our second half of the season a tremendous success!
