NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Buckle up! The Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway is having their season opener this weekend after initially postponing the event earlier this month.

The new date for the event is because of back-to-back severe weather events the last few weeks.

The U.S. Legends Spring Nationals will compete Friday, April 18, followed by the local divisions on Saturday, starting at 5 p.m. This will be their 121st season of racing. The event will feature racing for the US Legends, Pro Late Models, and Street Stocks.

Tickets are available for all events except the Rackley Battle of Broadway event as well as the All American 400 weekend. Those tickets will go on sale in the future.

Vandy's band of misfits turns heads with 7-1 start

This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
