Talking with Series Director, Donnie Brown, you can sense the excitement when he speaks about the race and year ahead. "You could never ask for a better Founder/Promoter than Ray Miller. Over the years he's always managed to walk a line between tracks/advertisers and on straight merits fill pits/grand stands everywhere we've stopped off. This race at Beautiful Waycross Motor Speedway seemed an appropriate way to honour a living legend!"

"Don't be too surprised to find out that we've upped the kitty by the time you get here. This just might turn into a $4,000 to WIN 69Lap event with funds spread throughout the field." Donnie said "I'm really waiting on confirmation from some independent sponsors. The 69Laps is in honour of Ray's 69th Birthday this past October. I have a feeling this'll be an Awesome Event and just the Spark needed to spur us onto an even better 2015 season."
