Videos: Kart Racing At Valdosta Motor Speedway

This time of the year, there is not an awful lot going on in the stock car racing world. In fact, just about every day, I see posts in social media where people are ready to get back to racing.  Well, let me tell you, there may not be an awful lot of racing going on in stock cars this time of year but there sure is some action going on in kart racing.  I had the opportunity to observe some of that action down at Valdosta Motor Speedway this past weekend.  It was good stuff, let me tell you.  What really surprised me was that I looked around and saw plenty of the same people I run into at stock car tracks all the time. I'm talking about drivers and fans.  Anyway, I have already completed a couple of videos from those races. In the first one, I just recorded some of the sights and sounds at the track.  The second video is the main feature which was run this past Saturday night.  I think it paid something like $1500 to the winner.  Other videos will be posted as they are completed.

Driver of the Year Nominee: Ronnie Lee Newsome

   Ronnie is the youngest driver on our list but what he lacks in the years of driving the other drivers have he makes up for in skill and success at such a young age. Running at tracks like Needmore, Golden Isles, and Douglas Motorsports Park he has shown serious aptitude and cunning in his sport. He had 7 wins at Needmore Speedway this year with 5 of them consecutive wins. Ronnie ran 16 races this year and only finished out of the top 3, three times.

Driver of the Year Nominee: Mark Whitener

   I recently had an article up about Mark Whitener and the only thing I can say about his season is "whoa". He started the season out by breaking his back in an accident at North Florida Speedway and came back to win 14 features and 15 second place finishes and two separate championships in the United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series and the Bubba Raceway Park Championship.

Driver of the Year Nominee: Roger Mckenzie

   Roger Mckenzie is the second driver nominee in our Driver of the Year running. The Swainsboro, Ga. native has a driven his #733 pure stock to 13 wins this season. He raced at Swainsboro, 441 Speedway, and Savannah. Roger has 12 wins at Swainsboro this year and one at 441 Speedway. Out of those 13 wins he ran a 7 win streak at Swainsboro. He also drove a mini stock this year and won a race at Swainsboro and a superstreet car and won 2 races in that division too. Roger ended his season with the 2012 points championship at Swainsboro.  It looks like whatever he puts himself in he can drive to the front and be dominant.
 

Driver of the Year Nominee: Jimmy Sharpe Jr.

     The beginning of the year started really great for this very popular Soperton, Ga. driver. He got the first win of the year at Dublin's 441 Speedway for their first race of the year. I think it's every driver's hope to win the first race of the season for a hot start right out of the gate. Along with driving at 441 Speedway, Jimmy drove at East Alabama Speedway, Cochran Speedway, North Florida Speedway, Screven and Gordon Park.
