Whether you pay $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year for a premium membership to the Speed51 Network, you’ll be able to watch Friday’s broadcast, and also receive $2.50 off your purchase of Saturday’s racing. The Butterball Memorial again will be the highest-paying race in the nine year history of the ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series brand, this spectacular will bring out the biggest names from three regions of the ULTIMATE banner.
