It’s also a night to remember two of our Speedway family that have passed away.

Whitey Memmelaar was a long-time car owner in Sportsman and Small-Block Modified divisions, with many top drivers wheeling his famous No. 45 race cars. Later, he served in several capacities at the Speedway. Orange County is proud to remember Whitey Memmelaar with the 45-lap, $4,500 to win Whitey Memmelaar Memorial Race for the Small-Block Modifieds.
Qualifying races will set the fields for each of the open-wheel division feature races. Should a driver win both Modified features, he or she will be rewarded with a $1,000 Wicked Truck Worx Sweep bonus, bringing his or her total winnings to $8,500.
