(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) Officials with the Red Clay 602 Late Model Series are thrilled to release their 2025 schedule, tire rule, and point fund ahead of the Saturday, February 22 season opener at Lavonia Speedway in Lavonia, Georgia. Even with a handful of open dates that will be announced in the near future, the 2025 schedule already boasts twenty confirmed races at thirteen different tracks across the states of Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee.
“With the merger between the Red Clay Series and the GM Performance 602 Series, we felt like we could put together a nice schedule for the racers and both Walter Tapp and myself are very excited about it,” quoted series owner Ray Cook today. “The feedback we got from drivers at the end of last year was that they wanted 20-25 races with a good point fund and each race paying $2,000-$3,000 to win. That’s what we tried to accomplish putting this schedule together and we’re excited to kick things off next weekend at Lavonia Speedway!”
The Red Clay 602 Late Model Series opener will be part of the annual ‘Spring Natty’ at Lavonia Speedway next Saturday, February 22. The 602 Late Model portion of the program will shell out a $2,000 first place prize. Other tracks that appear on the 2025 schedule include Senoia Raceway, Buckshot Speedway, Sugar Creek Raceway, Lake View Speedway, Wythe Raceway, Laurens County Speedway, Harris Speedway, I-75 Raceway, Toccoa Raceway, North Georgia Speedway, Anderson Motor Speedway, and Winder-Barrow Speedway.
A solid points fund has also been established for the 2025 campaign. The Red Clay 602 Late Model Series Champion will receive $3,553, while the series runner-up will claim $2,553. Drivers finishing 3rd-10th in the final series point tally will earn $1,553, $1,253, $1,053, $953, $853, $753, $753, $753 respectively. Any driver with perfect attendance and not in the top ten in points will also receive $753.
With 20 Red Clay 602 Late Model Series dates currently on the schedule and more to be added, the 2025 Championship Points will be based on a driver’s best 18 events. If three complete rainouts occur during the season, that will equal one less required event. If six complete rainouts occur during the season, that will equal two less required events. If nine complete rainouts occur during the season, that will equal three less required events. The required number of events will not drop below 15.
