Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children, 6-12. “Little Race Fans” (under 6) are admitted free when accompanied by an adult. Military members in uniform are also admitted free.

Falk has had that date circled on his calendar for awhile: “I can’t wait for that Hampton Heat, that big 200-lapper. I want to win ‘em all, but I want to win that one.”

A longtime member of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series, Langley Speedway is a .395-mile, slightly-banked oval. The track is located at 11 Dale Lemonds Dr., off North Armistead Ave., in Hampton.
