NASCAR points and the opportunity to move up to the NASCAR touring
series such as the Craftsman Trucks or Busch Series. Lanier also hosts
such notable touring series as the Southern All Star Stock Car Racing
Series, the USCS Outlaw Thunder Sprint Cars and the ASA Racing Series
which will hold a live TV event at Lanier in 2003. Lanier National

atmosphere, from grandstand seating, track side-tier parking or VIP
