Field set for “Night of Victory” Shoot-Out
SPRING VALLEY, Minn. – The starting line-up for the long-awaited “Night of Victory” Shoot-Out is set, with 20 drivers set for a 20-lap invitational to kick off the 10th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn.

Along with Harvick, NASCAR Nationwide Series driver Landon Cassill will also compete with some of the best in Modified racing, along with top American Drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr., who will be making his modified dirt track debut at the event.
In addition to the aforementioned names, an additional 17 drivers will complete the field of 20 that will take the green flag in Wednesday's “Night of Victory” Shoot-Out.
