CARNESVILLE, GA – The Fastrak Pro Late Model Southeast Tour will return to Screven Motorsports Complex in Sylvania, GA for the prestigious Rebel Yell Race on Saturday night, July 22. Screven Motorsports Park is one of the most unique racing facilities in the country for competitors and fans alike.

Screven Motorsports Complex is several racing facilities in one. For racing competitors, there is a 3/8-mile dirt track, a 1/8-mile drag strip, a clay Go-Kart track, and Mud Drags. For fans, in addition to the racing, there is a Star Stage with concerts, and a full service restaurant with a wide variety of choices on the menu, plus the regular race track cuisine.

For the Fastrak Pro Late Model Series, the 3/8-mile high-banked clay oval just seems to bring out the best in the dirt late models powered by the economical 400 horsepower aluminum-head steel-block Chevrolet Performance Circle Track engines that are build and sealed at the factory to prevent any expensive modifications.

Along with the Fastrak brand Hoosier Tires, three-wide racing for the Fastrak Pro Late Model Series at Screven Motorsports Complex is the rule, rather than the exception. The fans get the best deal at Screven Motorsports Complex, as one ticket gives them access to all racing at all tracks, the concerts, and the restaurant.

“We were one of the first to run Fastrak and it’s great to have them back after all these years,” Screven Motorsports Complex Owner/Promoter Red Griffin said. “We feel their addition to the Rebel Yell will help us ramp up the entire weekend.” (more…)

LAVONIA, GA – Trent Ivey of Union, SC took the lead with four laps to go and captured the $3,000 top prize by winning the Georgia State Championship Race for the Fastrak Pro Late Model Series driving the Ivey Construction MastersBilt on Sunday afternoon at Lavonia Speedway. Not only did Ivey celebrate after the race, but the second-place driver did as well.

Ivey was able to dive underneath the early race leader Jensen Ford of Piney Flats, TN, who pushed up the banking in turn four on lap 37 opening the door for Ivey. With the handling used up on Ford’s Tim Byrd Motorsports TNT, Cla Knight of North Augusta, SC in the Augusta Aquatics Longhorn dove under Ford for the second spot in turn one on lap 38.

“I had to drive my but off this afternoon just to stay in a position to win the race if the opening presented itself, and it did,” Ivey said. “I’ve always wanted to win a Fastrak race, and to win the Georgia State Championship Race in my first visit to Lavonia Speedway is pretty special. (more…)

BROWNSTOWN, IN – A pair of Hoosier State drivers enjoyed success on Saturday night at their home track, Brownstown Speedway after the 30-lap 2016 season finale for the Ultimate Battle of the Bluegrass Super Late Model Series. Second-generation driver “The New Deal” Hudson O’Neal of Martinsville, IN won the race and Jeremy Hines of Seymour, IN took the series title.

O’Neal survived a pair of off-track excursions, and an incident on a lap 21 restart with early race leader Cody Mahoney of Hanover, IN to lead the last ten laps of the race unchallenged to earn the $3,000 top prize. On the lap 21 restart, O’Neal drove to the bottom to throw a slider on Mahoney in turn one. The move came up short, and the top two cars locked together in turn two.

After they separated, Mahoney went into turn three and spun to bring out the caution flag. That gave the lead to O’Neal, who was quick to explain that was not the way he wanted to take the lead.

“I take all of the blame for what happened in turn two, and I apologize to Cody Mahoney for it,” O’Neal said. “This is not the way I want to win a race, but even at that, I’m still happy to hold this $3,000 check and take the win at my home track, and my Dad’s home track. I hope this is the first of many more to come.” (more…)
