Smokey Mountain Speedway in Maryville, TN is hosting a $10,000 to win race, which is where majority of the big named drivers will be.

Also in the news this week:

#15B Brian Birkhofer

- Brian Birkhofer will be selling his MasterSBilt cars and purchasing two new Rocket chassis. 

#5B Mike Marlar

- Mike Marlar is leaving Bryson Motorsports. Not clue who he'll be driving for in '14, but he raced for Dillon Wood last week at the DTWC and racing for someone else tonight and tomorrow at Smokey Mountain.

#71 Don O'Neal

- Don O'Neal has also left MasterSBilt to join Clint Bowyer Racing and take over the #5 Peak Oil Barry Wright chassis that Jared Landers wheeled the last few years.

- Rumor is also out that Jimmy Owens and Darrell Lanigan will be joining forces and building their own chassis. It's just a rumor right now, but many believe it to be true.
