THE REAL WINNER, THE RAIN!

DRIVER’S LIKE #55 MONTANA DUDLEY, WHO IS HE? HE HAILS OUT OF ALABAMA, AND THE STORY GOES HE CAN DRIVE AND MAYBE OUT DRIVE ALL OF THE GEORGIA LATE MODEL DRIVER’S.
ALSO THE #21C OF A YOUNG MAN THAT’S LIFE IS GOING FOR HIM LIKE NO OTHER DRIVER I HAVE GOT TO KNOW, HE IS FAST AND FAST IS WHAT GETS YOU TOO THE TOP OF YOUR LINE NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF JOB YOU HAVE.
OWNER OF HIS OWN GRAPHIC’S BUSINESS, AND A MAN THAT HAS NOTHING BUT A BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD OF HIM, HE IS KENNY “QUICK” COLLINS, WHO I ENJOY WATCHING RACE.
COLLIN’S IS KIND, AND SEEMS TO HAVE A HUGE HEART, IN THESE TIMES AND DAY’S THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS HARD TO FIND.
COLLIN’S RANK’S UP NEAR THE TOP OF CLASS DRIVER’S THAT I KNOW ARE ON THE MOVE UPWARD. WATCH HIM, AS HE GROWS, YOU CAN SAY YOU WATCHED HIM WHEN HE WAS RUNNING AT SENOIA RACEWAY BACK IN 2010.
ALSO, AT SENOIA CAME ROLLING IN THE BIGGEST OF RIGS, WHEN BRIAN REESE #33 ROLLED IN, BRINGING MOST OF EVERYONE IN HIS COUNTY, FRIENDS FROM EVERYWHERE. I MEAN BRIAN REESE HAD HIS OWN RACETRACK CHEERING CROWD.
THE WORST PART ABOUT IT WE NEVER GOT THE CHANCE TO SEE HIM ON THE TRACK, ALL BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY, AND I MEAN HEAVY DOWNPOUR THAT LEFT THE FANS UPSET BECAUSE SOME THOUGHT THE RAIN WOULD MOVE ON, AND THEY COULD GET THE TRACK READY TO RUN WHEN THE RAIN MOVED AWAY, IT WAS ALREADY AFTER 8 P.M. WHEN THE RACE WAS CALLED AND RAIN CHECKS WERE HANDED OUT.
COME ON, GET REAL, BY THE TIME THE RAIN WOULD HAVE PASSED OVER THERE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TIME TO GET THE TRACK READY FOR THESE FINE SUPER STAR DRIVERS TO RACE ON.
ONE DRIVER I WAS REALLY EXCITED TO SEE WAS “LITTLE JOE ARMSTEAD” WHO IS GETTING HIS FAMOUS #21 CAR READY TO RUN WITH THE BIG BOYS AGAIN AFTER A SHORT LEAVE. ARMSTEAD WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING RICKY PATYON’S CAR, IN THE LATE MODEL RACE, WHAT A RACE THAT WOULD HAVE BECOME.
ALSO THERE WAS RUCKER ORR, WITH HIS #99 CAR WHO HAS BEEN IN THE MIX, BUT NOW HE IS BACK BECAUSE HE HAS GONE BACK TO THE BASICS, TURNING HIS CAR BACK TO THE WAY HE HAD IT SET UP WHEN HE WAS RUNNING AT THE NOW CLOSED WEST GEORGIA SPEEDWAY. ORR WAS A CONSTANT WINNER THERE, MORE THAN ONCE HE WAS AT THE FRONT OF THE FIELD WHEN THE CHECKERED FLAG WAVED OVER THE SPORTSMAN RACE.
WE ARE ALL LOOKING FOR RUCKER TO MAKE A COMPLETE 360 DEGREE TURN AROUND. ONE THING IS FOR SURE ORR IS READY FOR HIS FIRST WIN, AT THE NEW SENOIA RACEWAY.
#9 SHANE FULCHER, WAS BACK, A TRUE RACING STAR, WITH PLENTY OF TALENT AND TALENT THAT YOU SEE EVERY TIME HE WINS, AND FULCHER WINS THE BIG RACES, HE IS KNOWN FOR WINNING THE BIG RACES, THE MONEY RACES.
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT, PLENTY OF CRATE CARS, PLEANTY OF LIMITED LATE MODELS, AND THEN YOU HAVE THOSE AMAZING HOBBY CAR DRIVER’S, LIKE LAST WEEKS WINNER #M4 WINFORD MINIX, WHO WAS BEING CHANCED DOWN BY #12 GARY BRAND, AND SINCE SCOTT SHERRER #41 IS NOT BACK YET, THE HOBBY RACE IS LIKE A GREAT BIG PIE AND EVERYONE ONCE A PIECE OF THE PIE.
ALSO THOSE PURE MINI CARS WERE THERE, DRIVER’S LIKE #00 MATTHEW BLACK, WHO IS A REALLY CLASS DRIVER. WHEN ASKED WHAT I SHOULD CALL HIM FOR A NICK NAME, HE DIDN’T HAVE ONE, SO HIS FRIEND HELPING HIM SPEAK UP AND SAID CALL HIM “HAM”, SO MATTHEW BLACK WE ARE NOT CALLING YOU "HAM", BUT WE ARE CALLING YOU "FAST".
ALSO BACK WAS DUSTY JONES AND HIS #4 CAR, JONES IS A DRIVER THAT KNOWS HOW TO WIN RACES, SO WHEN WATCHING THE PURE MINI FEATURES EVERYONE SHOULD KEEP THEIR EYE’S ON DUSTY JONES.
OTHER DRIVER’S IN THIS CLASS THAT IS GROWING ARE DRIVER’S LIKE #7 RUSSELL BRIGHT, WHO IS ALWAYS THERE WHEN THE RACE IS OVER. HE IS ALWAYS IN THE MIX, DRIVERS LIKE #J17 JOEY SPENCER AND #5 ROCKY JOHNSON ARE ALWAYS RACING HARD AND THEY ARE THE TYPE OF DRIVERS THAT NEVER GIVE UP.
NOW A DRIVER THAT WAS LATE ARRIVING WAS #19 VERNON NIX. WHO I WAS HOPING TO SEE HIM RACE, BECAUSE HE HAS HIS CAR HOOKED UP AND IS READY TO CHALLENGE ALL THE PURE MINI FEATURE DRIVERS TO A TEST.
EVERYONE HAS TO REMEMBER ALSO THAT B-CADET RACE, THE BOUNTY HUNT RACE, AGAINST 3 TIME WINNER, #3 JEFF CARTER, WHO HAS THE BOUNTY ON HIS HEAD.
$$ BOUNTY BONUS $$
After 3 feature wins in a row, there is a $100 Bounty Bonus in the B- Cadet division this weekend on Jeff Carter #3. The victory must be from outperforming him and not by taking him out intentional or otherwise.
Rule Change in B- Cadet:
MSD Distributor and Ignition Box Allowed.
LIFE SEEMS OK WITH JEFF, BUT HIS WIFE LISA “55 OUNCE COKE” CARTER IS HAVING THE PROBLEMS DEALING WITH THIS, AND I KNOW SHE IS BITTING HER NAILS EVERY TIME HE TAKES A TURN IN HIS #3 B-CADET CAR.
CARTER IS A DRIVER THAT SHOWS NO FEAR, AND THAT IS THE WAY TO HANDLE THIS BOUNTY. EVERYONE NEEDS TO REALIZE THAT A BOUNTY ON A DRIVER IS WHAT YOU CALL THE NUMBER ONE WAY TO PRAISE A DRIVER.
ALSO YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER JEFF CARTER IS A CLASS ACT, AND AS LONG AS HE HAS RACED, HE HAS SHOWN SO MUCH IMPROVEMENT, AND YOU KNOW WHAT, HE DRIVES LIKE THE TRUE WINNER HE IS.
SO ALL I AM SAYING IS EVERYONE BETTER BE LEGAL WHEN THE B-CADET RACE IS OVER, OR YOU WILL BE MISSING SOME MONEY AND I AM SURE JEFF CARTER AND FAMILY WILL ENJOY SPENDING THE CASH THEY TAKE OUT OF YOUR HAND IF YOU ARE ILLEGAL.
BE READY THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST B-CADET RACE OF THE SEASON.
THE ENDURO RACE, LOOKS LIKE WE WILL BE SEEING MORE OF THE #43 BLUE CAR, DRIVEN BY MICHAEL NELMS DAUGHTER OR IT COULD BE MICHAELS MOTHER, WHO KNOWS, ALL I KNOW IS YOU HAVE ONE CLASS OF CARS THAT WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH A FEMALE DRIVER, AND THIS WEEKEND I DON’T BELIEVE YOU WILL SEE DRIVERS LIKE LEE OWNSBEY SPINING AND AVOID HITTING THE NELMS CAR, IF SHE HAS TO BE MOVED SOMEONE WILL MOVE HER, THIS IS RACING AND NOT A PARADE, AND NO DRIVER GETS A SPECIAL TREAT. SO LOOK OUT FOR AN ALL OUT ENDURO WAR, MAYBE EVEN MIKE RAY IN HIS FAMOUS #99 WILL RETURN AFTER CRASHING INTO EVERYONE ON JULY 3RD, 2010.
Did anyone listen to 96.7 FM the Legend this Wednesday night and hear who was voted into #1 on face book results. It was none other than #4 Michael Nelms and his Daughter Shelbi Nelms who came in 1st and 2nd in the Enduro race. It was the first time I have ever filmed a Father, Daughter one two combination finish. Shelbi is just 16, but she can drive with the best, well maybe, I think next time she takes the track, the other drivers will not see her as a “GIRL” behind the wheel, I believe if she is in the way she will be moved. It is all part of racing, and this is short track racing at its best.
