The popular Charger division will run a total of 10 times in 2020 and the new Bomber class will compete in six races with the possibility of more races being added. The track’s headline Late Model division will race eight times, while Mini-Stocks, U-CARs, Street Stocks, Mini Cups, Jr. Mini Cups, Legends and Champ Karts will all return in 2020.
The CARS Solid Rock Carriers Tour, Southern Ground Pounders Vintage Racing Club, Carolina Mini-Stock Challenge and the East Coast Flathead Ford Racing Association will all be making return visits to Carteret County Speedway. Meanwhile, the Allison Legacy Series will make their first visit to Carteret County Speedway on Saturday, August 22nd as part of the Davey Allison Memorial.
One notable change in the schedule is to the support divisions running alongside the CARS Solid Rock Carriers Tour in 2020. The Champ Kart division and the U-CAR division will run that night, a move to enhance exposure for the two divisions since the CARS Tour race will be broadcast live on CARS Tour TV.
The regular season will get underway on Saturday, April 18th with all 10 feature divisions racing. Unofficially, the season kicks off on Saturday, March 21st with the make-up race for the 2nd Annual 4-Cylinder Nationals which were postponed last November due to rain.
Carteret County Speedway is looking to add a Super Truck feature and other touring series races could be added to the schedule.
In order to ensure all feature races will conclude before an 11pm curfew, the track will take additional measures to speed up the feature racing program. Those measures will be announced in the coming weeks.
