This is all part of an exciting weekend of racing on the Gulf Coast, headlined by Meet the Drivers night at Five Flags on Friday and the Show Me the Money Series on Saturday at Montgomery.

Grand American Race Cars have posted a bonus opportunity for Outlaw racers taking part in the doubleheader weekend at Five Flags and Montgomery. If a driver can win both races on May 16-17, they will win a $1,000 bonus. If no one sweeps the weekend, GARC will still offer a $500 bonus to the driver with the best average finish across the two nights.

"We love the Outlaw division as it has yielded some of the best racing we’ve had in recent times," said Tim Bryant, General Manager of 5 Flags Speedway, in a release. "We’re always looking for ways to reward our racers beyond the standard purse, so we can’t thank Augie Grill and Grand American Race Cars enough for stepping up with this doubleheader bonus."

"We’re excited to work with Tim at 5 Flags and GARC to offer this bonus," added Montgomery Motor Speedway General Manager Stan Narrison. "The Impact Zone Photo Outlaws put on a great show at Montgomery. Most of these guys are blue-collar racers, and they’ll appreciate this kind of opportunity."

Augie Grill, owner of GARC, will be part of the field for Saturday's Show Me the Money Series Disturbing the Peace 100 at Montgomery.

Meanwhile, Friday's Sportsman feature at Five Flags is the second round of the Tri-Track Cruise Quest. The three-race series brings Sportsman racers to Five Flags, Montgomery and Mobile International Speedway.

Will Smith won the first race of the Tri-Track Cruise Quest at Montgomery Motor Speedway in April. The three Tri-Track Cruise Quest races are 40 laps each, with the third race scheduled for June 21 at Mobile International Speedway.

The name for the three-race series comes from its unique prize. The champion of the three-race series, as well as one other driver who competes in all three races, will win a four-day cruise for two.

Racing begins at 8 p.m. CT/9 p.m. ET at Five Flags Speedway on Friday. Admission is just $5 for Meet the Drivers Night, with children ages five and under receiving free admission.

Gates open at 5 p.m. CT at Montgomery Motor Speedway, with qualifying at 6 p.m. CT and racing at 7 p.m. CT.
