Richmond, KY(September 20, 2016) Richmond Raceway co-promoters Larry, Chad, and Sarah Yantz would like to announce another adjustment to its 2016 racing schedule to close out the remainder of the racing season at the 3/10 mile semi-baned red clay oval known as “The Beast of the East”.

On Saturday September 24, the track will still present its Meet the Drivers Night and $500 to win event for the Warlock Race Cars Mini-Cup/Cyclone division, along with a full racing program for Sonic Late Models ($1,500 to win), Phantom Racing Gear Modifieds ($1,000 to win), AR Bodies KDRA Super Stocks ($750 to win), and Pro-Tow Towing Stock Four Cylinders ($500 to win).

On Saturday October 1, Richmond Raceway will now present the 2nd Annual Finn Watson Memorial for Sonic Late Models and Four Cylinder Rumble for Pro-Tow Towing Stock Four Cylinders.  The Sonic Late Models will race for $2,000 to win and the Pro-Tow Towing Stock Four Cylinders will race for $1,000 to win, along with a full racing program for the Phantom Racing Gear Modifieds ($1,000 to win), AR Bodies KDRA Super Stocks ($750 to win), and Warlock Race Cars Mini-Cup/Cyclones ($100 to win).  The winner of the Finn Watson Memorial for Sonic Late Models will be guaranteed a starting spot in the 29th Annual Sunoco Race Fuels Paul “Butterball” Wooldridge Memorial on Saturday October 8.  Michael Chilton is already guaranteed a starting spot in the “Butterball” via his win in the Butch Shay Memorial earlier this season, so if he were to win the Finn Watson Memorial October 1, the guaranteed starting position in the “Butterball” would go to the second place finisher in the Finn Watson Memorial.

The 2016 racing season will conclude on Saturday October 8 with the 29th Annual Sunoco Race Fuels Paul “Butterball” Wooldridge Memorial event that will pay $10,059 to win for the Sonic Late Models, along with racing for the Phantom Racing Gear Modifieds ($1,259 to win), the American Dirt Allstars AR Bodies KDRA Super Stocks ($1,059 to win), and Pro-Tow Towing Stock Four Cylinders ($759 to win).
