JEFFERSON, GA (July 13, 2010)
– A full field of top Super Late Model cars and stars will be on hand
this Saturday when the US Auto Sales 100 CRA Super Series event takes
the green flag at Gresham Motorsports Park. Heading the list of
pre-entries for the event will be Augie Grill and Jimmy Garmon. Grill,
a Hayden, AL native, won the
season-opening
CRA event at GMP on March 13 while Garmon was the most recent Super

With their victories, both drivers

winner will also be awarded a spot in the fall racing classic.
