PELETIER, NC – Bobby Watson’s Carteret County Speedway is adding another high-stakes showcase event to its 2021 season – The Great American Endurance Race on July 31, 2021.

The Great American Endurance Race will be a six hour, $6,000-to-win Enduro race which runs off the Carteret County Speedway “Bomber” division rulebook.  The Bomber division is designed to be an affordable class of racecar that allows backyard mechanics to race.

“We’re looking to have the biggest Enduro race in the country right here at Carteret County Speedway,” track owner Bob Lowery said.  “The Great American Endurance Race is the perfect backyard build-off for racers and for people who want the opportunity just to go racing.”

The six-hour Enduro race will be held with only green and red flag racing with the red flag being displayed only for safety hazards.  Cars that have flat tires or are leaking fluid will be required to come to pit road for repairs.  Each car that’s fielded can have three different drivers compete throughout various stages of the race with the winner’s purse being divided among all the drivers of the winning car, and there will be other awards issued at The Great American Endurance Race.

More information, such as posted awards, entry fees, and race regulations will be announced in the coming weeks.

The 2021 season at Bobby Watson’s Carteret County Speedway will go green, with fans welcome to attend, on Saturday, April 3^rd.  The Bomber division which the rules for the July 31^st event will employ will be in action at the season opening race.
