Winning at New Senoia Raceway is always fun, and you know it brings the best out of folks.
Driver’s come from every part of Georgia plus Alabama, and these drivers come to put on a show for the fans at Senoia.

Limited Late Model drivers like #11 Lavon Sparks who holds the points lead for the season. Then you have drivers like #28 Glenn Morris who has not won a race yet but has been a loyal driver and a fan favorite. Who can leave out #9 Shane Fulcher a driver that has been in a slump but always finishes in 2nd or 3rd place.
In the Crate Car late model ra
ce we have seen all kinds of winners, like #91 of Todd Darda, and last weekend on June 25th we were treated to see a 15 year old Matt Dooley prove he could outrun all of the crate drivers, as he led the race after starting on the pole. Not even #89 Russ Ogletree could catch Matt and Russ has been a winner in the crate feature many a time.
But on June 25, 2011 the night belonged to “Magic” Matt Dooley and his #18 crate car, maybe we will see him do it again, it was thrilling.
The night started off strange because they started with the B-Cadet feature, and it proved to be a great race, with plenty of racing action, and lots of beating and banging. Needless to say one of the biggest beating was at the start of the feature and of course it was between #3 Jeff Carter who is leading the points in the B-Cadet races. Also involved was #B7 of Billy Bright Sr. who slid into Carter or vice a versa whoever you talk to. Needless to say the night ended on a “Bright less” night as both of the Bright’s car’s shut down and they had to be moved off the track. That left a ba
nged up car driven by Jeff Carter chasing #75 of Brand Lewis who also knows how to win at Senoia.
So the race ended with Lewis finishing in 1st and Jeff Carter in his banged up race car would finish in 2nd place.
After the Crate car feature, I know people were still talking about the race which Matt Dooley would take his car and let it show it was meant to win. He seemed to own the track, and his car was hooked up as drivers say. I have never seen Matt win but then again I have seen him race many a time, and he was always a driver on the move. Filming his win was something I really wanted to see and you know Matt gave me something I will always remember. Thanks Matt for everything and for being a class act driver and gee you are only 15 what will you be like at 16, or 18 or 21? Thanks for being a winner.
Then it was time for the 30 lap Hobby feature, with drivers like #07 Clifton “Hog Head” Moran plus young gun #01 of young Blant Duke a driver that is always willing to race and race hard and never back down. Also in the feature was a champion in his own right #33 Randy Johnson, when it comes to winning big races that is when Randy Johnson shows up. Late in the race nearing the end of the 30 lap race it was clear Clifton Moran had it made, but beating on his bumper was Blant Duke who tried every way to pass Clifton, but every time he tried to pass Moran would pull away, that just made Johnson beat and bang on Blant Dukes bumper. Johnson was looking for every way to pass Duke, but Duke proved he would not be denied and held on to 2nd place while Clifton Moran took the checkered flag like he has been doing week after week. Finishing 3rd would be Mike Jenkins who avoided a last lap wreck, which would take Johnson out of the race.
All in all, the 30 laps were over and the excitement was overwhelming.
After the race Clifton pulled his car onto the front straight to get interviewed by of all people Chad Harrington since Ted the Voice was out of town and will return this weekend.
The trophy was huge and the win was exciting, and you could see in Moran’s face how excited he was.
In 2nd place was the young gun, Blant Duke who knew he had been in a race, but 2nd is not where he was wanting but it is better than not finishing a race.
Mike Jenkins would finish in 3rd place and that would make his night.
Congratulations to Clifton Moran or better “Hog Head”.
When the pure mini cars pulled onto the track I knew I had a little time left on my tape but I was hoping a praying that there would be no big pile ups in the Pure Mini race.
Well my prayers were answered, and the racing was exciting, with drivers like young #4 Dusty Jones was proving he had a car that could win. But #16 Stephen Hill, who would lead half of the race was getting into it with his friend, Jones, but really they were racing, now there was contact with Gary Parker and an Bobby Arnold who was leading the race and showed how winning was done.
When fans of pure mini races this had to be your race, the only key driver missing from the action was #00 of Matt Black, who chose to race elsewhere.
When the race was over, Bobby Arnold would win and prove he could win at Senoia Raceway.
So far plenty of racing actions please grab your friends,
neighbors, and family and also those folks that have never see a dirt track race and believe the only kind of racing is on asphalt like NASCAR.
Let’s turn them onto the best sport in the world Dirt track racing, where it takes talent to win.
Having great times is something you will always have when you attend a dirt track race at New Senoia Raceway.
This weekend, I mean we are about to see some great racing, plus a heck of a demolition derby at the end of the night followed by some great fireworks.
The place to celebrate the 4th of July is at New Senoia Raceway, where there is always something for the family, kids, and elderly race fans.
Come be part of the excitement!
Thanks,
