The Sportsman will be joined on the card by the 24 expected entries for the FGI Pro Stock Tour’s Summer Clash 250, presented by Atlantic Tiltload and Superior Foundations, and Outlaw Bandoleros and Traction Mini Stocks.

It will be a return to action for the Outlaw Bandoleros after having last week off as Ethan Hicken will look to keep his stranglehold on the points lead over Beaver Bank’s Bella Pashkoski.

The Mini Stocks, which have been pushing near 30 cars every week on the grid, will look to put on a show before an expected large crowd at the Speedworld.

Ross Moore of the Lake Egmont area has a good points lead over Darren Hodder and Mitch Hopkins, who have just one point between the two.

Green flag flies on race action at 7 p.m. on Friday night.
