Wytheville, VA ~ As I sit here and check out the landscape of the SouthEast Regions Late Model Stock Car racing I'm just dying not to be at the Hampton Heat 200 this weekend, it's likely going to be the third biggest Late Model Stock Car race on the Calendar for our region and RACE22.com will not be able to make the trip out east.
