The Walt Dyer Tribute will be the main attraction at the world-famous half-mile, awarding a fitting $4,610 to the feature winner.

There is a lot of money on the line this weekend, and a lot of hype surrounding the Weikert Memorial at Port Royal. We’re honored to fly the Weikert colors and number this weekend. Hopefully we can do one better and park the No. 29 on the victory lane stage.”
