"Jason Welshan is All American in round number 2"

 

     Two time track champion Jason Welshan takes an early lead in the points battle of the "Hot Summer Night Tire Fights". Also, Welshan evened the score with Hoosiers winning the pole and the Tennessee RV Sportsman feature on American Racers. Welshan jumped out on the start ahead of Mark Dyer who started on American Racers from the outside pole. Dyer had a fine run going in second until his motor expired relinquishing his spot to Mark Rosner who ended up being the best finisher for Hoosier in second. 2008 Champion Jake Teague came home in third on Hoosiers. Veteran David Crabtree raced his way to fourth on American Racers while Hunter Best rounded out the top five in a caution free event on Hoosiers. During a post race interview, Welshan stated "we are looking forward to racing these guys all Summer".

  

 The Mini Late Models had two features with Devin Canter and Joshua Moore claiming checkered flags.

   Dustin Holt became another first time winner in the Pure Minis winning the feature from the pole. Points leader Tony Dunkley pressured Holt the entire way, but settled for second to pad his points lead.

Angie Young continues to impress coming home third. Ronnie Bibbins and Tammy White raced hard for fourth an fifth respectively.

  Tommy Newton won the Modified Minis from the pole and Roy Smith took second in the attrition filled feature.

   Once again it was domination time for the XXX of Tom Vann winning the Mini Stock from the pole. David Benson had a season best finish in second after battling third place finisher Greg Muse.

   After a rough start in the Street Stock it was pole sitter Jonathan Sims dashing his way to victory for win number 6. Jeff McLemore ran second while 2008 champion Quinn Bender placed third.

   Hunter Best once again pulling double duty racing in two classes managed to put his Nesmith Late Model in victory lane winning from the pole. Best had a scare after witnessing outside pole sitter Chuck Laney collect the wall on the start while battling for the lead. Current points leader Josh Henry raced his way to second. Brent Hensley continues to show his muscle in third. Last week's winner Chris Ritchey finished in fourth and Justin Summers repaired his racer from an accident last week to earn fifth.

   July 4th will be round 3 of "The Hot Summer Night Tire Fights". Also, a challenge has gone out to see who is best Street Stock driver in East Tennessee. A 40 lap feature will be on tap in the Street Stock with $800.00 on the line for the winner!

 

IT’S  8 for $1,000.00

 

Hot Summer Night Tire Fights

 

With the big cage fight on 8-22

Mountain raceway will be the boxing ring for the tire companies for the next 8 weeks  

     Saturday June 20th the fight begins. There will be 8 races paying $1,000.00 to win with a $2,000.00 points fund for the top 5 teams in the 8 race mini series

. On 8-8 The Mountain will be the cage for the fight on the final night with triple points on the line with a 54 lap race. The cars will qualify then the feature will be in three 18 lap rounds.

The cars will line up in the feature as they qualified. Then run 18 laps after which they get an 8 min pit stop on pit road to do anything they want to the cars. At this time the crew chiefs from the top 6 will play deal or no deal for their starting spot for the next 18 laps then there will be an 8 min stop at lap 36 for final adjustments then they will line up the way they were running for the last 18lap round.

(note each 18 lap round pays 300 to win and full points)

one will go to the winning team
