History at West Georgia Speedway


Sammy Duke Welcomes all race fans, to West Georgia Speedway home of Champions!




















“HILL, ORR, MCWATERS, LAW BATTLE BIG TIME”

This weekend, the HOBBY cars will line up and race for their Championship race the last for 2009 season, and it plans to be a big race, with some really great drivers, in the show This is going to be West Georgia Speedways best race, and a feature that will have some really class drivers, those you cheer for and those you don’t. What ever the case these are the best of the best and they will put on a racing feature that you will always remember.

Jeff Carter will be there, Blant Duke will be there, Joe Hillman could make the show, Lee McElwanyne who is always tough will be racing. Do not forget Todd Scarborough in his super fast #95, this is going to be a SHOOT OUT and the best HOBBY Car driver will be walking away with some serious cash and a great nights work put away.

We will be missing #69 Roscoe Collins, who was always a champion and was always a winner, wish he could be at the Speedway, but he has other plans so someone else is going to win the big race of the night.
Another driver that will not make the show is Jason Causey, whose motor blew last, and that has taken him out for the season. He will be back so please, don’t worry, Jason is a winner and winners do not quit.

Also we should have the Enduro feature again this weekend, no championship as that was won by Frank Long, and we can now say, he is West Georgia Speedways all time Modified Mini Champion driver for the year 2009. What about next year, can he take the heat if long time winner Richard Bagby returns in a new car next season? It is hard to keep a winning driver down, and I know Richard veins are filled with red clay, dirt, and racing is in his blood so I expect him to return to West Georgia Speedway and become the Champion we all know Richard to be. What about Huie Stewart, from Oxford Georgia will be ready to put on a show in the Modified Mini race this weekend, last weekend he ran last, and that is not like Huie.

Sammy Duke is going to cut the Crate car division OUT, so there will be no more crate car racing at West Georgia Speedway, so drivers will have to move up to Sportsman or move down in class or less race somewhere else. Those 2 car features can be annoying and boring and no fun for anyone, and there is no way Sammy is going to run Crates again.

We hope to see Steven Parker back at West Georgia Speedway this weekend, in the Enduro feature, along with Winford Minnix, who for some strange reason did not make the show last weekend. When Winford is not running something is wrong.

I am hoping to see Lee Owensby and Blake Duke and also Minnix and Parker in the class Enduro feature. If they are there we are in for some top notch racing action.

When the Sportsman run, we are about to see one of the best racing battles in a long time as rumor has it, Glenn McWaters #G1 could be hanging it up and retiring from racing because his wife will be giving birth to a baby and I am sure Glenn will want to spend as much time as he can with their new child. I am going to hate not seeing the famous #G1 on the track every Saturday night, but I am sure that every now and then, he may return and that will let us know the fire of this little man who drives such a fast race car.
I look for him to WIN his last race at The Burg Saturday Night, if you are a racing fan plan on being there please.

As for as Ben Hill goes, I don’t think he is going to let Rucker Orr push him around anymore, Ben comes from a long line of racing family members, who are still racing. And if he has anything to say he can pull off a win and beat Rucker Orr in Orr’s on pay out track. Everything should be set, for the McWaters vs. Orr battle, but don’t count out Ben Hill or even Ryan Law, or what about Jason Williams. You have some of Georgia’s best sportsman car drivers and you will see them in action this Saturday Night at West Georgia Speedway, and if I were you I would try and plan on bringing some friends because this is going to be the race of all time.

If every you planned on coming to a race, this weekend will be your time to be there, because not only will the Hobby cars have their final Championship race, but, we may be seeing history if McWaters is really retiring from racing. If he is Glenn wants to go out with a WIN and not a loss. So you have several real reasons to be at the track, one because the Hobby cars are running the Championship race and two because you may see some real Sportsman racing history in the making.

From everyone at West Georgia Speedway, we thank you all, and from myself “Tino” from Plus Photography, I pray that you will be at the track to support your local drivers and be with other dirt track fans.

Thanks for everything, and remember DVD’s of the races are still for sale at $20 per DVD later in the season I will be running some super specials, so hang in there for that.

Thanks,
