It’s an honor to be part of something as big as 50 years of paved racing at the Music City Motorplex,” said OSR Managing partner Norm Weaver. “The history at this track is well documented and now not only are we going to be part of it but hopefully add to it.”

“This weekend is not only huge for the MCM but also Old School Racing,” added Weaver.

“This is the one race that is not on the same weekend as a top tier NASCAR race and we will be able to show the fans just how big Old School Racing is going to be.”

A number of these racing legends participating on Friday will also be on hand on Saturday, July 19th to be a part of the 50^th anniversary celebration.  In addition to the NASCAR Camping Worlds Series 150 (formerly NASCAR Busch Grand National East), Saturday’s event will include events for a number the Motorplex's local NASCAR divisions.
