On Saturday, the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series returns with a big field of Late Models at

Myrtle Beach Speedway. Matt Cox will be present and should challenge the front runners in the division.

Points leader Justin Milliken, who has two wins on the season, should be the favorite to win his third. However, Cox, Jeremy McDowell, Rick Smith, Jamey Lee, and Stuart Ricks mount a stiff test on Milliken.

Also joining the Late Models on Saturday will be the Mini-Stocks and Charger divisions. There will be a first at the Myrtle Beach Speedway and that is School Bus racing. They are a regular feature in the “Wheels of Destruction” show held each Wednesday night.

The speedway is celebrating “ Fathers Day” this Saturday and honoring the Boy and Girl Scouts. All scouts and their leaders attending in uniform will be admitted free.
