Top Prize Of $20,053 For Beckley USA 100 Spring Nationals Series Winner Saturday
Story By: RYAN DELPH / SPRING NATIONALS SERIES – MOUNT HOPE, WV – With only four Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Series presented by Coltman Farms Racing and fueled by Sunoco contests left on the 2024 calendar, the miniseries rolls into Beckley Motor Speedway this Saturday, May 11 for the annual running of the ‘Beckley USA 100.’
Established in 1977, the ‘Beckley USA 100’ is rich in history, but the storied race has never been sanctioned by the Spring Nationals tour until now. A whopping $20,053 top prize has been earmarked for the winner of Saturday’s 100-lap headliner out of an over $63,000 Super Late Model purse.
An open practice session ($100 per car) will officially kick off the ‘Beckley USA 100’ weekend at the Mount Hope, West Virginia facility on Friday, May 10. Joining the ground-pounding Super Late Models on the racing card on Saturday, May 11 will be the AAS Pro Late Model, Street Stock, SCDRA 4-Cylinder, Enduro, and Juice Box divisions. The pit gates will open at 2:00pm, the grandstands will open at 4:00pm, and the Drivers Meeting is slated for 6:30pm. Hot Laps will then take to the racetrack shortly following the conclusion of the Drivers Meeting.
Grandstand admission for May 11 will be $30.00 for adults, $28.00 for Military w/ ID, $10.00 for kids ages 5-12, and FREE for children ages 4 and under. Pit admission for the ‘Beckley USA 100’ will be $45.00 for adults, $20.00 for kids ages 3-10, and FREE for young children ages 2 and under.

Ethan Dotson (Waycross Motor Speedway), Brandon Overton (I-75 Raceway), Dale McDowell (Tazewell Speedway), Ashton Winger (Buckshot Speedway), Kyle Bronson (East Alabama Motor Speedway), and Camaron Marlar (Lake Cumberland Speedway) have all celebrated in Schaeffer’s Oil Victory Lane so far in 2024.
