News from the Source

After a long 3 week break the drivers were ready to get back in action at Gator Motorplex. After hotlaps and heats shook out the drivers for ready for the A feature. The Restrictor's were up first. They would get lines up and take the green to only get it called back due to Tipton jumping the start. We would get them lined back up and try it again. This time the second start would stay green. Somewhere in the lap count the red would fly to find Jarret Hjortch who hit the wall in turn 3 and go upside down. This was Jarret's first time in the car and first time to race it as well. Although he wrecked it in the feature he still did an outstanding job his first time out. We would get him off the track and get the field lined back up and finish the race. Cole Tipton would come out on top and park his 33c machine in Victory Lane. Next out was the 600's. Blake Moeller and Bash Fergeson would lead the field around to the green flag. After the flag dropped and the field made there first lap every drive would have just realized they did not habe enough tear offs on. The track was super tacky on the bottom. From here what happened during the race is a blure due to several cautions. I could make up some good stuff but I just can't remember all the wrecks and spins. So I am going to just leave it as Blake Moeller lead from green to checker and put his 88 in Victory Lane. Last but not least the Jr Sprint's. All the cars would get lined up and give it a try to only get it called back as it was not a good start. Second time it would stay green and Christopher Townsend would run green to checkered out front. He would also bring his 6 car to victory land and climb on top of his cage to show his excitement in his win. Congrats to all drivers. Next weekend 5/14. We will be at Gulf Coast Speedway. Be sure to join us as we will be running the 600's in a different format to change some things up.
