The cleanup after Matt Cooper's barrel-rolling heat wreck.

Key notes: There were two red flags for rollover wrecks in prelims, but no injuries were reported. Matt Cooper hit the wall and barrel-rolled in turn four in the first heat (he was a winner in Saturday's tuneup event). ... In time trials, Oakley Johns rolled after striking the blunt end of the concrete wall at the track entrance between turns three and four; his car sustained front-end damage. ... With no records apparently kept, Sam Seawright's 14.352-second lap was declared the track record. ... Seawright's Coltman Farms Racing teams announced plans to run the tour's final two weeks. ... Brody Smith missed time trials after apparent issues in Monday's hot laps, which started about half-hour late as track-packing vehicles ironed out the surface. ... The Summer Nationals kick off its fourth week of competition with Monday’s 30-lap, $5,000-to-win debut at Camden Speedway for its only trip to Tennessee. … There are 14 Hell Tour races over the next 14 days. … A $150,000 points fund will be paid out weekly with $10,000 to each week’s champion. … Tanner English of Benton, Ky., enters as the overall points leader and seeks his second career Camden victory after earning $2,000 there in July 2017 on the MARS Championship Series. … The race was the first after five straight rainouts; the tour has lost six of its last seven events and 11 overall have been affected by weather. … 602 Crate Late Models are among undercard divisions. … Watch live on DIRTVision.

Who to watch: Tanner English of Benton, Ky., eyes his second career victory at Camden Speedway.
