HAMPTON — After bouncing back and forth between Hampton and Richmond, Arena Racing Hampton Roads’ Pro and Youth Series settle in for a month-long run at their home base, the Hampton Coliseum, beginning with the American Cancer Society 200 Saturday evening.

This weekend’s Pro Series slate includes the KeesVacations.com A Main, Quaker Steak and Lube B Main and C Main — 50 laps each. The top six finishers from the A Main and the top four from the B and C Mains advance to the evening’s grand finale, the 50-lap Structural Mechanical Top Dog feature. A pair of 30-lap contests are scheduled for the Youth Series.

Doors open at 6 p.m. for the pre-race pit party, an excellent chance for fans to meet the drivers and get an up-close look at the cars. Following opening ceremonies, racing gets under way at 7. Drivers will also be available to meet fans on the concourse at the conclusion of the Top Dog race.

Tickets are $11.50 for adults. When purchased at the Coliseum box office, each regularly-priced adult ticket also includes one free kids (3-12) ticket. Additional kids tickets are $6.50.

Military personnel (with ID), senior citizens (65+, with ID) and students (13-18) receive a $2 discount off the adult ticket price. Tiny race fans (under 3) are admitted free. Tickets are available at the Coliseum box office, Ticketmaster locations and online at ticketmaster.com.
