Harkening back to its roots that reach back to 1993, the Myrtle Beach 400 for the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Late Models is going back to racing ‘old school’. The racing activity will all take place on Saturday, November 19^th. Cars will participate in a final practice that morning, and will be followed by single car qualifying, heat races, and the Myrtle Beach 400.The best Late Model drivers in the country will be chasing $67,325 in prize money with a guarantee of $1,000 to take the green flag.

The preceding weekend will be the Myrtle Beach 250. Action will include the Southeast Limited Pro Late Models, Southeast Limited Challenger Late Models, and Super Trucks. On Friday November 11^th the Challengers will run 50 laps. Saturday November 12^th will see the Trucks race for 100 laps ahead of the feature race for the Southeast Limited Pro Late Models. The SELLM Pro race will also be 100 laps. All of the races on the 250 weekend will be green flag laps only. The winner of the Pro Late Model feature is guaranteed one of the provisional starting spots in the 400 if they fail to qualify through the other channels.

Thursday November 17^th will be reserved for registration, hauler parking, and mounting practice tires. Friday November 18^th will be the open test day with cars fine tuning their setups all day and into the night. Saturday’s qualifying will set the field for the 400. The top two positions will be locked in based on their times set in single car qualifying with the best of two timed laps. Positions three through five are reserved for the three drivers locked in from the Ice Breaker and Sun Fun 101 features: Tommy Lemons Jr., David Roberts and Tyler English. The next 15 positions, from sixth through twentieth, will also be set by their qualifying times. Positions 21 through 40 will be set based on the finishing order of the two 25-lap qualifying heat races. The top 10 finishers in the first heat race will occupy the odd numbered positions while the top 10 from the second heat will populate the even numbered positions. The final three positions will be reserved for three track provisionals.

The main race of the 400 will be 225 laps including the final 25 green flag laps. The day will also have a 125 lap Modified race that will pay $4,000 to win and $400 to take the green flag. Modifieds will have Euro-style qualifying with five cars running five timed laps. Renegade Fuels have enhanced the race purse for the Late Models so that not only does the race winner take home $10,000 but all 43 starters are ensured at least $1,000. The tire rule for the weekend will allow teams to run any tires purchased during the weekend for the main race. Therefore a team can use a set of tires for a mock qualifying run during practice, save them until after the heat races, and put them back on for the main event. It is designed to save the race teams money by reducing the number of tires they have to purchase for the weekend. In another effort to reduce cost, track testing is only allowed through Monday November 7^th.
