Bobby Thomas dominated the sportsman division for the 50 lap feature during the State Race on Sunday. With Ronnie Johnson on his heels, Thomas took to the front and never looked back. Johnson came close coming off turn four a couple times but Thomas kept his line and dominated from start to finish.
Kelly Walker won the season ending race for the Southern Thunder Late Model Series last night at Albany Motor Speedway. You can see video of that race below. All other feature race videos will be included below too as they are completed.
The Hobby feature finish at Albany Motor Speedway was one for the record books Saturday night. The finish was so close that track officials wanted a closer look before a winner was announced. The two drivers involved, Allen Flournoy and Travis Williams got together after the race to watch the video. They all decided that no clear winner was evident and the race was declared a tie. That may have been a first for Albany Motor Speedway. Two good guys who are both fan favorites raced a clean hard-fought race and they both finished first. So, the winnings for 1st and 2nd were combined and split between the two. Check out the video below of the last few laps and see what you think.
Trust me, going to a NASCAR race with your wife in tow is a whole lot different than when you go with some of your friends. You need to plan things out ahead of time, otherwise, you both will suffer. I won't bore you with any details of the suffering involved in order to protect my sorry hide from any further damage. So, therefore, let me just get on with letting you know about a few helpful suggestions.
It was a great day to be alive and a fine time to be at East Alabama Motor Speedway Saturday night. Fans experienced some great racing, fireworks, and a demolition derby as EAMS celebrated the Labor Day weekend. Check out the videos of the feature races.
By now, most people have seen the video of the cat/squirrel which ran in front of Kevin Harvick Sunday night at Atlanta Motor Speedway. He thought it was a cat at first but on closer inspection, it was obviously a squirrel. The squirrel ran across the track in Turn 3 but soon afterward, he made his way around to Turn 4 where he ultimately met his demise. That's right, there is no happy ending for this story. The squirrel died. In fact, quite a few people in turn 4 saw this event play out. Meanwhile, a lot of media outlets and Twitter sources were leading people astray when they posted that the squirrel survived. So, just to let people know that life is sometimes very tough, and for full disclosure, here are a couple of photos of the dead squirrel. May he rest in peace.
Shortly after these photos were taken, one of the official trucks arrived at the scene and a worker got out, scooped up the dead squirrel, and deposited him on the other side of wall where the closest red truck is parked. Next, one of the workers in the red truck got out and recovered the dead squirrel. Much speculation was going on by fans in Turn 4 that some of our fellow fans in the infield would be dining on fresh squirrel real soon. One good ole boy was heard to say, "Dat's a squirrel, dems good eatin'." That was shortly before you saw the smoke start wafting over Turn 3.
