Seven months of trading paint, banging doors and chasing the checkered flag will come to an exciting conclusion Saturday when The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway crowns its 2019 divisional titlists on Championship Night.
Points leaders in the NASCAR Bombers, NASCAR 602 Modifieds, Skid Plate Cars and USLCI Bandolero Bandits and Outlaws classes will be looking to join Chris Clyne (NASCAR Super Late Models), Sam Jacks (NASCAR Super Stocks), Jaron Giannini (USLCI Legends), Jadan Walbridge (Jr. Late Models) and Chris Bosley (Thunder Cars) as 2019 track champions at the 3/8-mile paved oval. Doug Hamm leads the NASCAR 602 Modifieds standings and is looking to tie Scott Gafforini for most track titles since 2000 with his sixth championship on Saturday night.
Vinny Raucci Jr. (NASCAR Bombers), Chloe Lynch (USLCI Bandolero Outlaws) and Ashton Leonard (USLCI Bandolero Bandits) lead their respective divisions and are in the driver's seat for championships, but the always entertaining Skid Plate Cars division should provide the most drama of the evening. Scott Stockwell leads the Skid Plate Cars standings with 213 points, with Dennis Dowell second at 212 and defending track champ Cindy Clark a close third with 208.
The action will play out Saturday night, with gates opening at 5 p.m. Pacific Time, the season's final autograph session running from 6-6:45 and racing starting at 7. It will mark the end of the 20th regular season since the 2000 track reconfiguration, with only The Fall Classic (Oct. 11-12) and the West Coast Short Track Championships (Nov. 23) to follow before the sun sets on The Bullring's 2019 racing schedule.
Spectators can purchase tickets by calling 800-644-4444 or going online at LVMS.com, and all children 12 and under are admitted free with a ticketed adult.
