 Coalminers
Classic Kicks Off 2024 SCSCS Season Saturday at Lonesome Pine
Statesville,
North Carolina (May 1, 2024) – Months of preparation in shops
across multiple states will be brought to light when the opening
event for 2024 is scheduled to take place this Saturday in Wise
County, the Southwestern most section of Virginia known for its
coalmining industry. The
Super Cup Stock Car Series returned to Lonesome Pine Motorsports
Park in August of last year, the first time visiting the 3/8-mile
banked facility since 2017, resuming a tradition that enters this
year with the Coalminers Classic.
Teams from as far
as Michigan are expected for the season kickoff with some of which,
such as West Virginia’s Larry Berg, taking to this particular
track for the first time. Drivers
to watch who have previously competed at the facility have a range
of past results. Hickory,
North Carolina’s Ben Ebeling was unable to attend 2023’s event,
but has won twice at Lonesome Pine, including his series debut in
2016.
 Track
president Jeff Roark will look to get behind the wheel once again
after showing speed in his select starts last year while team owner
Bill Ashton is one of at least a couple drivers venturing from
Pennsylvania to compete following a pair of third place finishes in
2023’s event, his best finishes so far in the town of Coeburn.
Not only could
performance set the stage for ensuing weekends, but the twin races
will also serve as a tune up for quite a few competitors.
The final event of 2024 takes place at Lonesome Pine as well
with the Champions Classic in late September.
This Saturday
evening’s festivities begin at 5:00 p.m. with general admission
for the feature races, including four local divisions, available at
the low price of $15. In
addition, the Rusty Wallace Racing Experience is on hand during the
day, go-kart track on the facility grounds will be open, and
“Juice Box” races for the kids are part of the program as
entertainment for all ages.
