While the Scotts Turf Builder promises plenty of NASCAR Nationwide Series action, fans will want to
stay in their seats after the checkered flag waves. Former Bristol Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series winners will team with a group of celebrities to race for charity in the first-ever Scotts Saturday Night Special.
The celebrity drivers will run 15-lap heats to determine the order of the inside and outside starting rows of the 35-lap Bristol winners segment.
The winning team receives $25,000 for its charities; $10,000 will go to the second-place team's charities. Each other team will get $5,000 for charities.
The Scotts Saturday Night Special will take place after the completion of the Scotts Turf Builder 300 NASCAR Nationwide Series race. A UARA-STARS Series 100-lap Late Model race follows the Saturday Night Special.
