Old School Late Models Are Coming To Needmore

At their last race, Needmore Speedway announced that they were going to add an additional class of cars to their lineup.  These cars were described as old school late models.  A preliminary rule sheet for these cars was made available for those who are interested.  Today, Dan Broome took the time to sit down with Carolyn Johnson and myself to tell us a little more about this new class of stock cars. He also told us that Needmore Speedway would be opening up their Superstreet Class to allow the Outlaw Superstreet cars to compete against them.  Take a look at the video to learn more.
