The Inaugural Solid Rock Carriers 150 at Carteret County Speedway, set for July 7th, will pay a purse of $38,300 with $15,000 going to the winner, and the format has been altered for the race.
The format had previously been set as a six tire race, but after deliberation with race teams and others in the industry, Carteret County Speedway will run the race as a four tire race. The race will be run on the Hoosier F50 tire, a harder tire that is more durable than the F45 tire run at most tracks.
While teams will not be able to change tires at halfway, they will still be able to make minor adjustments to the car and add 10 gallons of fuel.
Time trial (single car) qualifying for the Solid Rock Carriers 150 will set the first 20 positions while the remainder of the field, positions 21-28, will be set through a last chance qualifier which will lock in the top-eight finishers. If there are more than 50 cars, two last chance qualifiers will be run with the top-four finishers being locked in.
Additionally, the Solid Rock Carriers will not count for points for Carteret County Speedway regulars.
