You’ve Got To See It To Believe It

The 2013 Season is winding down but the racing action has been heating up, as the various Championship battles come to a head, and the Snowball Derby looms in sight. Regardless of the motives, the competitors have pulled out all the stops for the last few races.
The Open Wheel Modified Championship has just 2 races left, and defending champion Donnie Hamrac has closed the gap on early season sensation Brandon Howell. And Donald Crocker has set the bar as of late, winning the most recent 5 Flags event. The Super Stock division has very much the same scenario going on, with Bubba Winslow and Randy Thompson battling for the 2nd straight year. The Super Stocks will go at it again this Friday, with their Championship event scheduled for the night of Sept. 20th. The Beef O’Brady’s Sportsman division has pretty much been the Steve Buttrick show in 2013, but defending Champion Brannon Fowler has kept him close all season long, and has the chance to close the gap on Double Points night this Friday. Same goes for the Butler U Pull-It Bombers, where Michael Nelson seems to have found his groove, winning most recently and staying atop the points standings where he has resided all year. (more…)
Volusia Speedway Park had a record breaking crowed in the grandstands. An unforgettable night of racing was had with full fields totaling 82 cars. 12 wiener dogs came out for the best dressed and fastest wiener contest as well. Volusia got a new champion in the fastest wiener contest as daisy duke came in for the win with 2 wieners were on her tail. Molly won the best dressed.
Boy scouts from all over were with us as well. They sang the national anthem and presented several trophies through out the night. The boy scouts came out to show their support for the #8 Scott Lagasse Jr. Scotts Late Model was covered in boy scouts signatures from the boys that helped build the car and came out to show support.
A great night all the way around on this last day of August, as Mother nature held off just long enough the show to come to a close.
