LAKE CITY, Fla. (June 11) –  The quick move was part of the mission.

Karlin Ray made the move and his Camaro stuck and shot to the front on the very first lap.

Nineteen circuits later around North Florida Speedway, the Flora City teen had one of the biggest wins of his career.

 Ray won the “Prelude to the Benny” Thunder Stock feature Saturday evening. A check for $1,000 and a guaranteed starting spot in the September 24 Benny Corbin Memorial went with the victory.

“That was the plan – to get out front early and stay there,” Ray said in Victory Lane. “I knew it would be tough, but the track, I could go anywhere and we outran them

(June 12, 2016 - Senoia, GA)  Many of the fans are asking, who is going to stop Clint ‘Cat Daddy’ Smith at Senoia Raceway?  The veteran stock car racing ace is currently on  seven race win streak dominating both the Super Late Model and Limited Late Model division since mid-May at the ‘Bull Ring’.  It looked as though Smith’s streak would end on Saturday night when Winston’s Michael Page finished a car length out front in the Limited Late Model main, but Page was too light at the scales and was stripped of the victory handing it to Smith and keeping his streak intact for another week.

Smith chased down fast qualifier Mason Massey in the Super Late Model show.  Massey had built a several car length lead over the field before Smith broke loose from the pack and began reeling in the youngster from Douglasville.  Smith has been tutoring Massey for several months as the former national Legends Car champion transitions to dirt racing.  Massey has learned quite well from his teacher, but one little bobble in turn two of lap 19 was all that it took for Smith to pounce.  The four-time Southern All-Stars champion never looked back posting the victory over Massey.  Forty year veteran Ricky Williams of Fayetteville had his strongest showing of the season finishing in third ahead of Douglasville’s Lamar Haygood and LaGrange’s Chad Marchman.

WAYNESVILLE, Ga. (June 1) – One engine screams at high RPM as a right rear tire nicks the red clay cushion. Just to its left another throttle flutters some as the sleek wrapped race car negotiates right along the inside berm.
Drivers have one opinion in common. Golden Isles Speedway is best when the 4/10-mile oval is racy with at least two grooves. That is the way GIS has been most of the season and it is bri...nging out the best in the drivers especially during the Super Challenge 5 Series events
