Schaeffer's Oil Southern Nationals

(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) With four different winners in as many events in 2025, the Schaeffer's Oil Spring Nationals Series presented by Coltman Farms Racing and fueled by GoSunoco season heats back up this weekend with a lucrative doubleheader in the Volunteer State! On Friday night, April 18, a $10,053 winner’s check will be up for grabs at I-75 Raceway in Sweetwater, Tennessee. The double-dip will then conclude on Saturday evening, April 19 at the bad-fast Tazewell Speedway in Tazewell, Tennessee with the 5th edition of the Lil’ Bill Corum Memorial, which will once again shell out a $21,000 first place prize. With each race paying at least five figures to win, both weekend shows will also be a part of the Coltman Farms Cup.
At I-75 Raceway this Friday, pit gates and tier parking will open at 4:00pm, while the grandstands will start to allow patrons into the facility at 5:00pm.

Along with the $21,000 winner’s purse, Super Late Model competitors will also be gunning to lead lap 28 of the 75-lap feature, as Kelly Camp, of Knoxville, Tennessee, has put up a $1,000 bonus in memory of Jeff Wolfenbarger. Pre-entered drivers will also be vying for an extra $1,050 Fast Time Award and an extra $1,050 for winning the Toyota Knoxville Quick Six Dash, which will set the lineup for the first three rows of the main event.
