It is not often that a NASCAR driver, much less a true legend of the sport can be found in Jackson Parish but that was the case this past weekend as Tony Stewart drove in the Sunday Sprint Race at the Chatham Speedway.

Just a few weeks from the Louisiana Fire Marshall Office limiting the number of people that could attend the local raceway thousands of fans packed the seats as they enjoyed one of the greatest NASCAR driver’s take the wheel.

The next event to be held is the Southern Outlaw Late Models Race that is scheduled to drop the flag on Saturday, June 20th. Entry fee is $35.00 for a Pit Pass, $12.00 for general admission of adults and $5.00 for children from the ages of 6-12. Those five year old and younger get in free.
