Brian Grantham Protest Video

   Saturday night at Waycross Motor Speedway a points championship came down to one last race and ended what was to be a celebratory night with a single protest. The 8 car of Brian Grantham was in the points lead coming down to the season ending race and having only a slight lead over the second place car of Derek Jacobs, Grantham was on a mission to be crowned the champion. During the feature race, Grantham, who started on the pole, took the lead and didn't look back. The second place driver, Brian Wooten, started on the outside pole and stayed behind Grantham the entire race. After the race was over and both drivers pulled under the tech shed, Wooten wanted see the top end of the motor of Grantham. With car owner Carl Moore backing up his driver, the money was handed to officials and the tear down process began. After looking into the intake it was deemed illegal by the officials and was tossed out. As Grantham found out he was being disqualified, he handled it like any driver should, upset but taking it on the chin. Both drivers and car owner went back to their pits and ended what was a truly exciting finish to a long, hard-fought season. Deep Dixie congratulates these drivers on their seasons.
