The Big C Dash for Cash on Friday night will be a tribute inmemory of Mr. Lamm.

“We wanted to do something special this year to celebrate the 50th year anniversary of Fayetteville Motor Speedway. This historic event will be the largest payout ever at Fayetteville Motor Speedway, and there is no better way to celebrate then to have the World of Outlaws Craftsman Super Late Models as the main event. With the schedule of events over two days, race fans will get plenty of exciting racing action and see the top Super Late Model drivers from all over the country compete right here in Fayetteville, NC. We also wanted to pay tribute to a great man, Mr. Carlton Lamm, who has done so much for the sport of racing in this area and been a great friend to all of us here at Fayetteville Motor Speedway,” stated Jim Long Jr., promoter of Fayetteville Motor Speedway.

This year’s historic First in Flight 100, presented by Hoker Trucking will consist of two days of racing on Friday, May 11 and Saturday, May 12. The World of Outlaws Craftsman Super Late Models will qualify and run heat races along with the Big C dash for Cash on Friday Night.
