Mitch McCarter Reaches Agreement To Promote Volunteer Speedway (TN) In 2018 And Beyond
Image
Mitch McCarter has entered into a lease agreement with Volunteer Speedway track owners Joe and Phyllis Loven to promote races at the Bulls Gap dirt track for the 2018 season and beyond.
The Gatlinburg businessman, along with his wife Tanya, and sons Pierce and Mark, took over operations at the 4/10-mile oval in February and immediately enhanced the calendar with a 19-race schedule. With the increased number of races and a car count over 100 recently at “The Scorcher,” the 44th season of racing has been deemed a success.
Besides more weekly dates, he has been aggressive in bringing in new events. He is currently in negotiations with the Lucas Oil Late Model Series and World of Outlaws Late Models to host the two largest dirt late model series next season.
McCarter has owned 411 Motor Speedway in Seymour for the past six years. The Sevier County track averaged 25 races per year under his ownership. But, the 411 Motor Speedway lacks the facilities to host the major series like Volunteer Speedway.
There are four more nights of racing scheduled this season at Bulls Gap. There is a five-division program on Sept. 16 with two races in October and the season finale scheduled for Nov. 4.
