Carolina Clash And Friendship Motor Speedway Agree To Postpone Elkin, NC Track Season Opener Set For April 4

In keeping with the restrictions on statewide public gatherings in North Carolina during the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Carolina Clash and the promotions team at Friendship Motor Speedway in Elkin, North Carolina have postponed the season opener for the track and the Carolina Clash event originally planned for Saturday, April 4, 2020.

"Keeping the safety of our racers and fans is very important to us at Friendship Motor Speedway and we apologize for the inconvenience. We will work with the Carolina Clash to find a date later in 2020 to run their event at Friendship," said Jessica Stowe of FMS on Wednesday afternoon.

"In the twenty seasons of racing with Carolina Clash, Friendship Motor Speedway has hosted the Carolina Clash 17 times, with Ricky Weeks winning three of those events during his five series championships. Jeff Smith and Ray Tucker each have two wins, with Chris Ferguson, Zack Mitchell, Ross Bailes, Tim Allen, Phil Hall, Mike Duvall, Ricky Boahn, Luke Roffers, Dennis Franklin, and Brandon Overton each have Clash victories there. I will work with Jessica and the rest of the staff to find a date to run this event whenever this national and statewide crisis is over," said Mark Huey of the Carolina Clash.

Jessica Stowe went on to say that she hoped everyone remains safe during this health crisis.

"We hope that everyone is taking the necessary precautions during this time. We anticipate that once we are cleared to race, all of the local tracks in the area will feature packed infields and pit areas and grandstands that are standing-room only!"

Marion Limbaugh is the new owner of the Carolina Clash Super Late Model Series.

"I am thankful for all of the support shown to me over the past few months since I acquired the series from founder Larry Lee. It is good to be back around some awesome friends. In addition, we also express deepest sympathies to Larry Lee and his family after the recent loss of his mother."

The Carolina Clash has successfully held one event in 2020 at the Lancaster Motor Speedway back on March 7, 2020, where 2017 champion Zack Mitchell took the checkered flag.

The series is sponsored by American Racer, Hoosier Racing Tire, VP Racing Fuels, Big A's Custom Graphics, Safety Kleen, Thomas Clarke Performance, K-MansParts and by the great race teams, tracks and fans that attend our events!

May God continue to add His richest blessings to all, as we continue to seek His peace during these difficult times.
