After missing the previous scheduled race date at Newport Speedway due to Hurricane Helene, the series returned to action for one final showdown. The teams and drivers made the trip up to East Tennessee to help reopen the speedway and bring back the first short track race held there since 2017. The competition in the Honey Hush Boutique Limited Late Models was stiff, as we had a lot of familiar faces rejoin the tour, long time competitor of the series and the track Mart Nesbitt returned to action in his daughter’s car. Third generation driver Kaleb Pressley also made his appearance, as well as former Southeast Super Mini Cup driver who has now progressed to Limited and Late Models, Jacob York.

The only practice round was up and it was no surprise that Kaleb Pressley topped the charts, laying down a fast time of 13.339. Series points leader and hometown standout Lance Gatlin was second fastest; Nesbitt, Tyler Worley, and Chandler Gallman rounded out the top five. Tyler Worley would go on to capture the Renegade Race Fuel Pole Award, he would go on to roll a four on the invert dice which now set York to start the feature in the top spot, with Gatlin on his outside. The Double Aught Injury Lawyers pace car driven by Bryan Ramey pulled down onto pit road, the green flag waved high above the field to get things started for the evening. Gatlin had the advantage on the high side as they soared off into turn one, Worley quickly pulled up to the outside door of York as the pair raced side by side for the lead, meanwhile Pressley and Nesbitt were door to door fighting for fourth. With three laps down in the 75 lap feature, Gatlin was now facing some heat for the lead as Worley drove up to the inside of the #52 Cotton Eye Joe Chevrolet.

After a five or six lap battle for the lead, Worley was able to power to the front of the field leaving Gatlin to settle back in for second. Now with thirty laps down, Worley had opened up the lead over the field by a straight away. Fourth place driver Jacob York was now having his hands full as Terry Smith and Eugene Norton were trying to take over that position. York sailed off into turn one, with Norton behind him, the white #25 of Smith powered into the left rear of York. The first caution flew on lap 41, as the #05 of Lexi Arnold went around on the back stretch. Worley led the field back to the KRC Power Steering Restart Zone with Gatlin restarting on his outside. The second caution flew on lap 46 as Worley was slowly fading through the field and came to a rest on the exit of turn four.

Gatlin led the field back to the KRC Power Steering Restart Zone, however the field was not quite ready and jumbled up further in the back, Chandler Gallman suffered some right front damage, and the #38 of Brayden Goddard with a lot of front end damage came to rest in the bottom of turn one to bring the caution back out for the third caution of the day. Gatlin led the field back to the KRC Power Steering Restart Zone with Pressley on his inside. Austin Peters and Eugene Norton were racing door to door battling for third. The fourth caution flew just a few laps later on lap 58 as Norton looped it around on the back straight away. Gatlin once again led the field back to the restart zone for the final 17 laps with Nesbitt on his inside. With just eleven laps remaining the roof of Jacob Yorks #25 machine finally flew off, this was a result of the earlier contact of Smith and York. York came down pit road where just about every team in the pit area jumped in and helped reattach the roof to the race car with duct tape, bungie cords, and ratchet straps. This would be the most insane thing anyone has ever seen. Gatlin led the field back to the green flag once more. The sixth caution flew with just four laps remaining, as Norton spun around coming out of turn two. Gatlin would hit his marks in the KRC Power Steering Restart Zone for the final time and go on to pick up his second win of the season, and captured the 2024 Honey Hush Boutique Limited Late Model Championship in front of his hometown, family and friends.

“That was a lot closer than I wanted it to be, those restats were hairy, I have been under the weather today, its tough enough to do double duty, I was fighting for my life there. The car was great, Dicky Torbett, like all year this car has been on rails. The Cotton Eye Joe Chevrolet has been fast, what I wanted to do more than anything here at Newport Speedway the first time back in front of my fans and family was win the Championship and win the race, so we did that. That’s awesome, I want to thank Chuck Ward, he is the man, he is the reason we are all here today and some help with Rick Watson and Ed Surrett.” Exclaimed Gatlin in Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet Victory Lane.

Special Thanks to Chuck and his staff for their hard work and dedication to opening back up a wonderful facility that everyone loves. That will do it for the 2024 season, stay tuned during the off season for all of the latest news and information by visiting us on out website as well as our social media sites.

​
Josh Goble came into the evening with the points lead and was just focusing on finishing out the night in one piece so he could capture the championship, Honey Hush Boutique Limited Late Model driver Lance Gatlin was attempting to pull double duty and make his debut in the super trucks. It was Newport, Tennessee’s Ed Surrett who topped the only practice round held that morning with a fast time of 13.347. Qualifying was up next and it was new comer to the series Gatlin who claimed the Renegade Race Fuel’s pole award in front of his hometown crowd. Gatlin would roll a four on the invert dice, which now set Goble to start the race in the top spot for the 50 lap feature.

The Double Aught Injury Lawyers pace car pulled onto pit road, and flagman Dylan Greene waved the green flag over the field. Goble soared off into turn one with Surrett on his outside. Surrett was able to out power Goble to take over the lead on lap one. Surrett led the first half of the race and had no pressure, that was until Lollis slipped by Goble to take over second. Lollis was on a mission, as lap by lap he was clicking off faster lap times than the leader and slowly closing the gap down. The first caution flew on lap 28 as the #5 of Tim Dale spun around in the middle of turn one and two and came to a rest facing the wrong way. Lollis led the field back to the KRC Power Steering Restart Zone with Goble on his outside. Surrett was able to slide down to the bottom of the track and under Goble, and would go on to take over the second position, he also brought the #15 T&D Trucking F150 with him of Cameron Williams.

With the final ten laps left of the race, Williams had a strong going as he came out of turn four and got into the left rear of Ed Surrett, resulting in Surrett spinning out coming across the start finish line. Lollis led the field back to the KRC Power Steering Restart Zone, this time with Williams restarting on his outside. Lollis went on to pick up the final checkered flag of the season, “I tell you what, that is probably the best truck I have ever had here. It was just flawless, but to win the first one and to win the last one and wrecked all of the other ones, I still feel pretty good. We raced five times and totaled out three times, we ended finishing third at Lonesome Pine, first at Anderson and first here so I feel pretty good with the way the truck is performing and the team is performing. I just have to thank God for allowing us to do this because without him we cant do anything anyways. I want to thank my family, my wife, my kids, my grandkids, this was just a good time coming.” Stated Lollis in Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet Victory Lane.

“It means a lot, it really does, in 2005 we won the championship at Tri-County, we got out of racing for a little while. We got back to racing with John Mamph, and almost 20 years later we were able to get another one (Championship) it feels pretty good. Its really good for all of the guys who help me, who work so hard on this thing, it’s a family deal, so that makes it even better. John Mamph is just like family to us, Im really glad to get this for him, he put his faith in me and my guys to run this thing. So it feels really good to get it for him. We didn’t dominate, we didn’t win a race, that kind of stings a little bit, just a little bittersweet. We were here for all of them, we did the best we could, we took care of our stuff the best we could. This is the best group of sponsors I have ever had, I can’t thank them enough. Its amazing for what they have done for me this year and means a lot. Smart Electric, Utilitough, Priority Electric, Blackbear Transmission, Appalachian Stone, Advance Auto Parts, Heritage Finance, Im just blessed with those folks.” Exclaimed your 2024 Southeast Super Truck Series Champion Josh Goble.

That will do it for the 2024 season, stay tuned during the off season for all of the latest news and information by visiting us on out website as well as our social media sites. Congratulations goes out once again to Josh Goble and his crew on picking up the championship and a special thanks to all of our drivers and competitors for your support.

The Southeast Super Truck Series and company made the second return visit to Anderson Motor Speedway in Williamston, SC on Saturday June 22. This was the fourth race of the season, and after having a couple weeks off the teams were ready to get back to action. The first practice round it was Cameron Williams who laid down the fastest lap time of 15.923, he was followed by Taylor Hosford (who was making her return to the Super Trucks), Josh Goble, Kyle Barnes, and Tim Lollis. The final practice round it was Taylor who topped the charts in her Roberts Racing #13 Silverado. Cameron Williams, Josh Goble, Tim Lollis and Kyle Barnes rounded out the top five. However it was Easley’s, South Carolina’s Tim Lollis who claimed the Renegade Race Fuel Pole Award in his #50 Busted Knuckle Tire & Auto Silverado. Lollis rolled a four on the invert dice, which now set Goble to start the 50 lap feature in the captain’s chair.
When it came time for the drivers to line up on the track for their feature race, they completed their pace laps, the Double Aught Injury Lawyers pace car ducked down on pit road and out of harms way. The flagman Dylan Greene waved the green flag and the field took off into turn one, however Cameron Williams (who had been experiencing transmission issues all afternoon) seemed to have missed a shift on the takeoff, causing Tim Lollis to slam into the rear of the #15 T&D Trucking Ford F150, Lollis was then punted from behind by Kyle Barnes and sent the #50 down the track and in front of Toby Hollifield’s #5 JR Hollifield & Sons Painting Silverado. Hollifield made hard contact with Lollis and caused his truck to get airborne, resulting in both trucks slamming hard into the inside pit wall. After a extensive red flag to clean up all of the debris, both drivers were helped from their trucks, Hollifield was transported to a local hospital for further evaluations and was later released with two broken bones in his foot.
Goble led the field back to the green flag for the start of the 50 lap feature. Goble led lap one, however Hosford and Williams were fighting already for the second position. Five laps into the race, and Hosford was not wasting anymore time as she took the lead away from Goble. Bennie Davis had flames shooting out from what appeared to be his brakes, he came down to the pit area where his night would end prematurely. With ten laps now in the books, Hosford had checked out over the rest of the field, but the battle for second was one to watch. Josh Goble had a mirror full of Cameron Williams and Kyle Barnes. Taylor Hosford would go on to capture her first Southeast Super Truck Series win, and setting the bar by being the first female to be victorious as well. “This one was definitely hard fought, we stayed patient for it, this was a lot better than second! I have to thank this guy right here, my dad, I wouldn’t even do this if it wasn’t for my dad. My moms not here tonight, hopefully she is watching on tv. All of my Roberts Racing , amazing people, they give the best race cars, and lastly Annett Bus Lines they have stuck with me a long time.” Stated Taylor Hosford in Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet/ Double Aught Injury Lawyers Victory Lane.

This is quite unbelievable to get the first win in my first late model start” exclaimed Caleb Heady in Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet/ Double Aught Injury Lawyers Victory Lane.

(COEBURN, VA) After a month off with the Southeast Super Truck Series, the drivers were eager to get back in action. TJ Williams returned to action for the first time this season, and Toby Hollifield also returned back after a few years off. Bennie Davis came up Friday evening to log some laps and shake his truck down, due to him being absent Saturday morning to attend one of his grandchild’s graduation. First practice was up and it was Draper, Virginia’s Kyle Barnes who set the fastest time in his DCT Towing & Recovery Silverdado. Cameron Williams, Tim Lollis, Toby Hollifield, and TJ Williams rounded out the top five. Final practice it was Candler, North Carolina’s Cameron Williams that laid down the quickest lap; Kyle Barnes, Josh Goble, Tim Lollis, and Toby Hollifield rounded out the top five. Cameron also went on to capture the Renegade Race Fuel Pole Award, he also rolled a five on the invert dice, which now set veteran driver Tim Lollis to start the race in the top spot with Goble on his outside.

Bryan Ramey paced the field in his beautiful Double Aught Injury Lawyers Chevrolet Corvette before ducking off on to pit road. Lollis smashed the gas pedal as flag man Dylan Greene wave the green flag over the field. Lollis led lap one with Goble remaining on his outside, Barnes and C. Williams right in the heels. Five laps on the board and Lollis was still the leader out front, Goble second but having to hold off Barnes who was right on the rear bumper of the #65 Utilitough Silverado of Goble. Now ten laps logged and Lollis, still your leader, the top four remained single file (Lollis, Goble, Barnes, C. Williams). Barnes made a hard charge to the inside of Goble going into turn three, making slight contact and upsetting both trucks. Both drivers were able to gather it up and get back underway, however this opened the door for Barnes as he drove past Goble to take over second, and Cameron following pursuit.

Lollis led the field back to the halfway mark of the shortened race, the top three were nose to tail (Lollis, Barnes, C. Williams). With 28 laps on the board, Barnes finally seen a opening on the outside of Lollis and drove up to the door of the #50 Busted Knuckle Tire & Auto Silverado. Lollis was able to hold off Barnes and pull back out front of the field, just a few laps later Barnes dove to the bottom of Lollis and once again the duo raced door to door. Lap 31 there was a new leader, as Barnes took over the top spot shuffling Lollis back to second with C. Williams who quickly followed Barnes’s line. Lollis would go from first to third in one lap, Kyle Barnes would go on to capture back to back wins at Lonesome Pine. Barnes also would lead the field in the point standings leaving LPMP with a five point advantage over Tim Lollis. “I knew Josh and Tim were going to be pretty tough, unfortunately everyone got taken out in a lap one incident a few weeks ago, so I knew coming back into this week everybody was going to be hungry. He (Cameron) put on one heck of a show in the #15 truck, he stayed with me quite a bit. I got a little urgent getting by Tim, I felt my brake pedal fading there, I didn’t want to run over top of him getting in, so as soon as I seen my opening I got underneath him and was able to capitalize and get the lead. I really want to thank DCT Towing & Recovery, Black Acid Racing Apparel, Ft. Chiswell RV Park, Let’s Stay Home Boutique, Lee’s Body Shop, River Junction Campground & Canoeing, Berts Garage, VHE Chassis Dyno, Story Lawncare, Jerrys Garage, and Minimal-E for all of their support” stated Barnes in Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet Victory Lane.

Final Practice was up next and it was once again Goble who topped the charts. Goble would go on to Capture his Renegade Race Fuel Pole Award of the season.

After Goble rolled a 3 on the invert dice, the top three were jumbled up which now put Tim Lollis starting the race on the top spot with Kyle Barnes on his outside. Bryan Ramey pulled the Double Aught Injury Lawyers pace truck down on pit road, the field paced their way to the start box where flag man Dylan Green waved the green flag high in the air. Lollis and Barnes completed the first lap side by side, and about half of the second lap until Lollis was able to pull out in front of Barnes. The first caution flew on lap 35 as Jacob Maxwell looped his Suffolk Alignment and Auto Care Ford F150 around on the front stretch. Cameron Williams who had just previously pulled his #15 T&D Trucking Ford F150 down onto pit road, Williams had been chasing transmission, and rear end issues all weekend.

Lollis led the field back to the KRC Power Steering Restart Zone, and hit his marks. The second caution flew with less than 15 laps remaining in the feature, as the #91 Norville Auctions Ford F150 driven by Jay Norville drove hard into the third turn and spun around making contact with the inside wall. Once again Lollis paced the field back to the KRC Power Steering Restart Zone. The third caution flew just a couple laps later as the #3 of Jacob Maxwell suffered a suspension issue causing his truck to make contact with the turn three wall, and ended his night early. Lollis for what would be the final time of the night would lead the field back to the green flag and sail off to capture the victory. “He was giving me all I wanted on them restarts, First of all I just want to thank the good Lord, if it wasn’t for the good Lord I wouldn’t be able to do this. The truck has been good pretty much all weekend, its old, its like me old, but it gets the job done. I’m just tickled to death to get a win in this thing, I’m just glad the 00 (Kyle Barnes) ran me clean, he ran me hard but clean, I appreciate that. I just have to thank the fans for sticking around” stated Lollis in Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet Victory Lane.

The Series will take a week off before heading to Southwest Virginia’s Lonesome Pine Motorsports Park on April 27th. They will be joined by the STAR Super Stock Series as well as Lonesome Pine’s Street Stocks and Pure 4’s.

The newly named Honey Hush Boutique Limited Late Models made the first trip down to Anderson Motor Speedway on Saturday April 13th. This season is shaping up to be one of the best to date, as a few familiar faces made their return to the series after taking a few years off: Tyler Worley and Spencer Childers. Tristen Barnes who has competed in mini stocks at Kingsport Speedway. Two Super Truck drivers that did not have their trucks done yet for this race, elected to race a limited, those being of Greg Bohanon Jr and Ed Surrett.

The first practice session was up, and it was Arden, North Carolina’s Matt Leicht driving the Marion Thomas owned #70 Chevrolet Impala SS that topped the charts. Tyler Worley, Justin Sorrow, Chase Pollard and Eugene Norton rounded out the top five. The final practice session it was Taylorsville, North Carolina’s Chase Pollard who topped the charts in his #98 LP Gear Chevrolet Impala SS. Tyler Worley, Justin Sorrow, Tristen Barnes and Ed Surrett rounded out the top five. Matt Leicht claimed the Renegade Race Fuel Pole Award, Leicht would roll a five on the invert dice, which now put Morristown, Tennessee’s Lance Gatlin in his #52 Cotton Eye Joes Chevrolet starting on the top spot for the 75 lap feature.

Bryan Ramey pulled his Double Aught Injury Lawyers pace truck off the track, flagman Dylan Green waited patiently for the field to approach him and he waved the green flag. Gatlin and Worley paced the field through turn one and two side by side. Justin Sorrow and Chase Pollard who made up the second row remained door to door, with Matt Leicht right in their tire tracks. Lap two Gatlin was able to pull out front of Worley, which opened the door as we now had a four way battle for second. The first caution flew on lap 3 as the #81Travers Tool Co, Waters Tire of Chandler Gallman spun around coming out of turn two. Gatlin led the field back to the KRC Power Steering Restart Zone, and quickly jumped back out front of the field leaving a dog fight for second once again.

Matt Leicht quickly worked his way around Sorrow and Worley to take over the second place. With a lap and a half later, Leicht worked his way passed Gatlin to take over the lead. The second caution flew on lap 21, as Eugene Norton looped it around in turn two. Norton suffered slight front end cosmetic damage. Leicht led the field back to the KRC Power Steering Restart Zone, and took off like a rocket. The third caution flew on lap 29 as Justin Sorrow came to a stop on the back straight away. Sorrow suffered a broken shock, and had to be helped back to the pit area by City Towing. They were able to make repairs and get him back out on the track. Leicht once again led the field back to the KRC Power Steering Restart Zone. Leicht remained out front of the field as the top three cars were nose to tail (Leicht, Gatlin, and Chase Pollard). They completed lap 50 with just 25 laps remaining.

The fourth caution flew with just under 20 laps to go, as Chase Pollard’s engine expired going into turn three, several cars slid around trying to slow down (Austin Peters, Tyler Worley, and Eugene Norton). After a brief red flag to clean up all the fluids on the track, the engines fired back up in behind the Double Aught Injury Lawyers pace truck. Leicht once again hit his marks inside the KRC Power Steering Restart Zone. With three laps to go, Sorrow had made a surge back through the field of talented drivers and found himself fighting for second. Two to go, Sorrow tapped the rear bumper of Leicht going into three, Leicht got a little side ways and Sorrowed powered up to his door. The pair drag raced down the front straight away, before Sorrow was able to pull out front and down the back stretch. Leicht made one last effort to repay the favor as he nudged the rear bumper of Sorrow, however it was not enough. Justin Sorrow went on to capture the victory after what some thought his night was over early. “Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good, the officials picked up my shock on the track back there. We had some bad luck but also some good luck too. I want to thank all the fans for coming out, we have the best fans ever. Thanks to my guys for their hard work” stated Sorrow in Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet Victory Lane.

The Southeast Super Truck Series made the trip back to historic Hickory Motor Speedway for the final stop of the 2023 season. As in the Limited Late Model’s the Super Trucks were in the same situation, with the points battle coming down to wire. Allen Huffman had led the points for the majority of the latter part of the season. Coming into Hickory he knew he just had to finish in front of Tim Lollis, who has been competing with the series since the beginning. Allen who had previously claimed two HMS Super Truck Track Championships. First practice was up for the teams and drivers, Charlie Watson topped the charts in his #9 truck, laying down a fast time of 15.456 just .001 quicker than the 2023 Hickory Motor Speedway Super Truck Champion Ashley Huffman. Charlie Neil, Lee Tissot and Clint King rounded out the top five.

Final practice was up next, Ashley Huffman topped the charts with a time of 15.336. Clint King, Ed Surrett, Charlie Neil and Cameron Williams rounded out the top five. With the series running twin 40 lap races, there was no invert from qualifying. Ashley Huffman claimed the Renegade Race Fuels Pole Award. As the Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet pace truck pulled off the track and onto pit road, the field soared to life down the front straight away. Ashley Huffman leading the field into turn one with Charlie Neil on his outside, Clint King and Allen Huffman making up the second row. Ashley led the first lap of the first twin feature race with a heated battle for second right behind the leader. Neil and King going at it, tooth and nail. The first caution came out on lap two as the #17 of Greg Bohanon Jr lost a driveshaft and looped it around, tough break to end his night early. Ashley led the field back to the KRC Power Steering Restart Zone, he quickly cleared the #21 truck of Neil. With twelve laps completed, nothing much up front had changed other than Tissot slipping past the #51 of Allen Huffman. Clint took a look to the inside of Charlie Neil, trying to take over the second position. After a two lap battle, King was indeed able to capture the second place.

Just over the halfway mark, the battle for third was intensifying as Neil had a mirror full of Lee Tissot and Allen Huffman, and at some times the crowd thought they were going to go three-wide. The second caution flew on lap 21 as Allen Huffman and Tissot were battling hard for position coming out of turn four, Huffman made slight contact with the #88 Jeff’s Auto Sales Chevrolet, sending Tissot around. Ashley led the field back to the KRC Power Steering Restart Zone, this time with 2019 SEST Series Champion Clint King starting on his outside. With just ten laps remaining in the first feature race, Allen finally made a opening and drove past Charlie Neil’s #21 machine to take over third, however Tim Lollis was following right in his tire tracks. Ashley Huffman would go on to capture the first Twin 40 feature of the night. “It’s super special, any time you can get a win with the Southeast Super Trucks, racing against the best trucks in the country, set on the pole and lead the most laps and win the race is pretty awesome. I can’t thank off of my guys enough: Platinum Limousine, K&P Roofing, Storm Graphics, Accent Signs, Dexter’s Detailing, Hollars Landscaping & Grading, Carolina Custom Golf Carts, all of the fans for coming out, Jeff & Diane awesome series, really appreciate the opportunity to run with them” stated Ashley in Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet Victory Lane.

The second Twin 40 feature inverted three from the finish, which now set Allen Huffman starting in to the top spot and Clint King on his outside. The pace truck dove onto pit road and the green flag waved high above the field, Allen and King soared off into turn one, with King taking over the top spot and leading lap one. The first caution flew on lap three as the #8 of Ed Surrett and #48 of Chris Smith both spun around coming out of turn four. King worked his way inside the KRC Power Steering Restart Zone, and hit his marks as he pulled away. Neil quickly pulled up to the inside of Allen Huffman, trying to contest for second place with Ashley Huffman and Lee Tissot side by side fight for fifth. Allen started to drift backwards as Neil, Ashley and Tissot, and Lollis all soared past the #51 machine. The second caution flew on lap 18 as the #21 Charlie Neil, #15 of Cameron Williams and #8 Ed Surret spun around in turn three. King once more led the field back to the restart zone with 22 laps left.

With just 12 laps remaining Tissot slid past the #7 of Ashley Huffman to take over second. The third caution flew on lap 30 as the #48 Alpha Electric Silverado looped it around on the front stretch, this would set up for a ten lap fight until the end. King and Tissot paced the field back to the green flag, however Tissot did not have enough left in the tank to catch Clint King as he went on to capture the second Twin 40 feature. “We struggled in the first race, the sun went down, we made some changes, hated to keep seeing that yellow wave. But I would really like to thank Warehouse Design, Kingdom Event Management, Backyard Buildings & Creations LLC, Taylor Stricklin Chassis” stated King in Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet Victory Lane.
Allen Huffman would go on to capture the 2023 Southeast Super Truck Series Championship, and in front of his hometown family and friends. “First off I just got to give God all the Glory, all of the praise! There is just no quit in this team. These guys don't know what that word means. It's a testament to the attitude God has built within this team that even when we probably should quit we can't. There were three races we should not have been able to finish. And one of those we ended up 5th because we simply didn't give up. All 3 Championships are special. All 3 have had their ups and downs and challenges and none of them were won because of what we did. It's because of what God has done and accomplished thru this team in lining every piece up to win them. This one def means a lot because it was our first year stretching our legs outside of home, outside of our local track and going up against some of the best in truck racing, with bigger fields, stiffer competition brand new tracks that we had never even laid eyes on let alone raced at, and still figuring out how to be competitive week in and week out. To do that is amazing. I can't believe we pulled this one off. We had a ton of fun this season even with all the hurdles we had to overcome. I really want to thank NCN Ministries, Everett Chevrolet, Wrenchrags, Western Steer, Carswell Landscaping, Carswell Tree Service, Buzze Racing, Tri-Star Racewear, RE Suspension Harrington Racing Engines, Creech Motorsports, Auto Racing Outreach, AR Bodies, Black Acid Racing Apparel, and New Creation Graphics.

The Series will celebrate our Champions and drivers at the upcoming Championship Banquet, and stay tuned for the 2024 Schedule. Thank you to all of our drivers, teams, sponsors, staff, tracks, and most importantly our fans!
