With the goal of getting the largest Late Model Stock Car count in the track’s short history, Solid Rock Carriers has stepped up their support for the CARS Tour race at Carteret County Speedway on July 13th, growing the total race purse to $40,000. This will mark the 3rd highest paying event on the tour’s schedule in 2019, and the four tire race will see absolutely no additions to the at track cost of a normal CARS Tour race.
