Opening day for the racing season will be on Saturday, April 7 with races getting underway at 3 p.m. There will also be a driver meet and greet from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. prior to the racing action.
There will be two practice sessions before the first race, the first one this Saturday, March 31 from noon until 4 p.m. and again on Tuesday, April 3 from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m.
Racing classes this season at Mountain View Speedway will include Late Model Sportsman, Outlaw 4, Street Stock, Extreme Stock 4, Sport Compact, Semi Mod 4, Extreme Sport Compact, Young Guns, Ridge Runners, Enduro, Carolina Sprint Tour, ATV, 602 Pro Modifieds and Mini Late Models.
The quarter-mile dirt track at the High Country Fairgrounds reopened in 2015 after being closed for 17 years. Each year, the season runs from April through November and will include several special events throughout the season. There will also be nightly racing during the county fair in August.
The track prides itself on being an alcohol-free and family-friendly environment each and every week.
