That’s right Young Colton Bettis in his first full season in the Super Mini Late Models at showtime speedway is turning heads with the fans and his competitors. Last weekend he started 10th in a strong field of cars with great competition. He would end up with his first top 5 of the season finishing 5th. It wont be long before this young man visits the winners circle at Showtime speedway. When not racing he can be found working at his grandfathers place Circle C helping do any jobs needed, in his spare time he works on preparing the small dirt go kart track out back, so him and his friends can race against the adult racers the grew up watching or there heroes. Most nights these kids show the adults how it is done on the go kart track. Now on Saturday nights on the track he is also starting to give the adults a run for their money. Stay tuned to this young man his manners and work ethic match his driving skills, he is the real deal.

Below is a post from his mom who was also excited after his great run Last Saturday:

Finished 5th! This kid raced his ASSSSS OFFFF! We started 10th lap 5 went to the rear for contact passing a car. Fast forward to lap 37 we were 8th, white flag and he passed 3 cars on the inside! ??? Special thanks to Morgan Exteriors, Stealth Racing Fabrications, Nancy’s Restaurant, Frank Hurst, John Lepine, and to all that make it happen! ??

Some photos from Saturday at Showtime Speedway
in Pinellas Park Florida with the BG Products, Inc.
Southern Sprintcar Shootout Series
May 9th.
Fast qualifier Dylan Reynolds
with an unlucky pill draw for the redraw for starting lineup after qualifying would start 10th.
John Inman
would pull the 1 pill to put him on the pole for the BG Products 44K 44 lap main event.
Point leader and unbeaten so far in 2020 Troy De Caire
would start outside row 2 giving him his best starting spot of the year as it didn’t take long for DeCaire to get to second and just kept Inman close through a few cautions and through the double file restarts Inman managed to hold off DeCaire but when the field was given the 5 to go signal it was go time for DeCaire and a series of dive bombs crossovers and slide jobs for the remaining laps made this pay per view only event one of the most exciting duals between two series champions in the history of the series but it was Inman that prevailed and went on to win the BG Products 44K.
The next race on the schedule for Southern Sprintcar Shootout Series is back at Showtime Speedway in June 27th the belief is the restrictions may be lifted by then and will allow fans in the stands.
Hope to see you there.
