Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series Releases Full Schedule & Points Structure For ’25
Story By: RYAN DELPH / SOUTHERN ALL STAR DIRT RACING SERIES – BRASSTOWN, NC – When the 2025 Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series presented by Franklin Enterprises working schedule was released at the PRI Trade Show back in December, it featured eight open dates.
Series owner Ray Cook has been working feverishly to fill those dates and is excited to announce the addition of seven races to the series schedule today. The lone open date is Friday, June 13 – the night before a scheduled visit to Lavonia Speedway in Lavonia, Georgia.
Of the newly-scheduled SAS races, up first will be a doubleheader at Southern Raceway in Milton, Florida on March 21-22. A $3,000 winner’s check will be up for grabs on that Friday night, while Saturday’s weekend finale at Southern Raceway will boast a $7,000 top prize.
Another new double-dip will take SAS competitors to the state of Alabama on May 16-17. A visit to West Alabama Speedway in Winfield, Alabama on that Friday will pay $4,000 to win, while Saturday’s stop at North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia, Alabama will shell out $5,000 to the winner.
The Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series is also excited to add Mountain View Raceway to the slate of events on Saturday, July 5. The Spring City, Tennessee oval will play host to a $4,000 to win special that will fit in nicely with other shows in the area during a busy Independence Day holiday weekend.
The final two new additions to the SAS schedule occur in the month of October and will close out the year for the longest-running Dirt Late Model Tour in America. The historic Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, Georgia has scheduled a $5,000 to win program for Saturday night, October 11. The Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series finale will then take place two weeks later on Saturday, October 25 at I-75 Raceway in Sweetwater, Tennessee. The annual running of the ‘Tarheel 53’ will be SAS sanctioned for the very first time and will pay $10,053 to the winner.
Following the completion of the season, a 43rd Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series Champion will be crowned. A $10,000 check has been earmarked for the 2025 Champion, along with $2,000 for the 2025 Rookie of the Year. After the season opener last Saturday, February 1 at I-75 Raceway, Cory Hedgecock currently leads the SAS point standings over Billy Franklin, Kendall Franklin, Joe Denby, and Joshua Chesney. The entire point fund is as follows: 1. $10,000, 2. $5,000, 3. $2,500, 4. $2,000, 5. $1,500, & $1,000 to all other eligible drivers.
With 23 Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series presented by Franklin Enterprises dates currently on the schedule, the 2025 Championship and Rookie of the Year Points will be based on a driver’s best 18 events. If three complete rainouts occur during the season, that will equal one less required event. If six complete rainouts occur during the season, that will equal two less required events. If nine complete rainouts occur during the season, that will equal three less required events. The required number of events will not drop below 15.
