Spring City, TN (3/14/20) --- For the second consecutive weekend the new Mountain View Raceway opened its gates Saturday afternoon for on-track practice hosting all comers.

A variety of the highly popular Late Model, Open Wheel Modifieds, Dwarf and Street Stock/Hobby type race cars practiced, running speeds in the 85-90 MPH range on the quarter mile high banked clay oval.

But all eyes were on a few new classes seldom featured in tracks around the Tennessee Valley. Tommy Thompson of Ten Mile, Tn. debuted a #3 Midget Sprint Car last weekend, while a few race teams from upper East Tennessee brought their Classic race cars to try out the 1/4 mile high banked bullring.

Practice for any and all classes continues every Saturday in March at 2 p.m. with the grand opening race being Saturday night, April 4.

Updates can be found online at www.MountainViewRaceway.com and on their Facebook page.
