ONA, WV-As we head into the fall season, it is time for the biggest event at Ona Speedway, the Yes Chevrolet/Yes Ford Mountaineer 100. This year’s event will feature a record purse under the TK Promotion’s era with over $30,000 in purse money up for grabs for the weekend.


The event will feature two big days of racing on Friday, September 23rd and Saturday, September 24th.
