Motorplex race motivates next generation of drivers

The list of former competitors reads like a who’s who of stock car racing over the past twenty years.
Darrell Waltrip and Rusty Wallace have won it. Local racers such as Daytona 500 champion Sterling Marlin and the late Bobby Hamilton have competed in the event known as the “Super Bowl of Short Track Racing.”
The event’s official name is the Champion Racing Association Adam Petty Memorial All American 400, and it will be Sunday at Nashville’s Music City Motorplex.
More than 50 cars from 13 states will try to qualify Saturday on the five-eighths-mile oval with thoughts of cashing in on Sunday’s $10,000 winner’s purse. Included in the field is Mark Day, a 46-year-old Clarksville resident who was 2006 Motorplex Late Model champion.
