If you haven't heard about the goings on over in Albany this weekend, you need to traipse on over to the Albany Motor Speedway's website and check it out. The Nesmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series will be in town and I understand that close to 50 of those late models or more may be participating. Wow, I think that will be a sight to see. That would make for a carnival atmosphere in and of itself but I understand that Trista Jo Atkinson has convinced Ben Sumner and Ronnie Bowden to both take their turns in a dunking booth. I wonder which drivers will pay top dollar to give those guys a bath? It is all in good fun and for a good cause as it will benefit the American Cancer Society. Trista has other activities planned for the children as well. Learn about these and other things such as which classes will have increased purses this weekend by clicking here and going to the AMS website.
A lot of speculation has been going on about Needmore Speedway over the last few weeks. Up until then, there had been a question if Neemore was going to be open at all this year. I didn't want to say too much about it until I heard it from a reliable source myself, so I have pretty much kept quiet up until now. Well, it is obvious that racing action will be taking place there soon. All one has to do is go to www.theneedmorespeedway.com to see why. That is a new website and the rules for 2012 have been posted. Just this week, after speaking with one of the parties involved, I can say that stock cars may be circling Needmore Speedway as early as the first weekend in May. If not then, maybe a couple of weeks later. Please check back here often because we at Deep Dixie Racing plan on helping keep everyone abreast of what is going on at Needmore.
