Notes: Former winners Lee Pulliam and Myatt Snider are just a few of the names that will be in the field this weekend. Deac McCaskill who won the CARS Tour title will be in the mix, as well as Martinsville 300 winner Mike Looney. Another one of the hottest drivers in Late Model Stocks to date is Josh Berry, look for him to want end the season on a high note. Berry was fifth in 2014 and is looking to win again at Myrtle Beach after a summer of racing action which saw 12 different drivers win races at Myrtle Beach. Track champion Matt Cox will lead the local charge as drivers try to win the big $10,000 prize. On the Modified side we expect to see Burt Myers and Jason Myers, and perhaps last years winner George Brunnohoelz, III.
