It was “Dirt Track Racing, South Georgia Style” Saturday night at Waycross Motor Speedway as the United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series made their presence known in the Swamp. A fantastic night of dirt track racing with bumper to bumper, hard charging, edge of the seat racing action with almost 100 cars on the clay track at Waycross!
The young and the young-at-heart got treated as the “Easter Bunny” made her way through the pits and grandstands. Several special guests were in attendance including Mr. Eddie McDonald, a former Hot Shoe at Waycross with an astounding 1200 total racing victories in his career. Mr. Bobby Griffin, an “ole-time” flag man enjoyed the show and Mr. Cecil Eunice, a former award winning driver, also reminisced of his past racing days as the action got under way.
The Super Street Class, sponsored by NAPA , was the first to pull onto the track for their feature event. Brunswick ’s Paul Jones, 2009 WMS Champion, took the lead and kept it all the way to the checkered flag. Claiming second was Alma ’s Scott Crews and in third was Jimmy Peele from Jacksonville, Fla.
The Y-Delta Inc. Sponsored Limited Late Models raced onto the track for some of the best dirt action anywhere around! It was gear grinding, fast pace action until a serious altercation between Joe Fletcher from Valdosta , Scott Crews, Blackshear’s Dillon Turner and another driver. After the hard crash, Fletcher was taken to the ER to be later treated and released. Time was up on the feature event, so Waycross ’ Richard Jeffers Jr. took his first local feature win, Adam Parrish of Jacksonville claimed second and third place went to David Tyrell also from Jacksonville.
