After a wild finish in 2016 that saw JR Motorsports development driver Christian Eckes edge his teammate Josh Berry in a photo finish, Late Models have returned to Myrtle Beach Speedway to participate in the 25th running of the Myrtle Beach 400. The 2017 edition of the race will carry a little more significance to the track and to the Modified and Late Model drivers, as it will be the first time that the Myrtle Beach 400 will be broadcast on national television, with MAVTV scheduled to air the tape-delayed race in December.
