Thanks, Again

Following in her Father’s Footsteps, Kody Brusso Looks to Leave Mark Kody Brusso remembers the moment racing rushed back into her life.

That is, if it ever truly left. See, the 24-year-old daughter of Donnie Brusso, a former local late model hotshoe, grew up in and around the family business. Kody Brusso raced go-karts from ages 4 to 11 when she decided to chase other passions, such as riding sorting horses and playing basketball.

After finishing playing a few years of college basketball, Kody Brusso returned home where her father awaited with a simple message: “We’re going to race.”

“OK, load it up!” Kody Brusso said needing little convincing. She made up for lost time rather quickly, winning the 2015 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series state title of Louisiana.

This year, the younger Brusso is hoping to leave her mark at Five Flags Speedway, the same track where her father left his years ago. (Con’t on our web site.)

New Year, New Series:

Outlaw Stocks

A milestone awaits Five Flags Speedway come December. The ninemonth march toward the historic 50th Annual Snowball Derby christens the dawn of the 2017 season Sunday.

The Faith Chapel Outlaw Stock, a class in its rookie season shares top billing at the season opener alongside the Beef “O” Brady’s Pro Trucks, The Dock on Pensacola Beach Sportsmen and the newlybranded Lloyd’s Glass Pure Stocks.

The arrival of the Outlaw Stock division has local drivers — young and old, alike; some veterans, some that have long pondered dipping their toes into the sport’s seductive waters — are already excited about the arrival of the Outlaw Stock division.

“There a little less expensive version of the late model cars,” GM Tim Bryant said. “But they don’t look you’re your typical late models. The cars have that new, fresh look. They have the more traditional Outlaw bodies. Some of these cars you’d see on dirt tracks.

What we’re seeing is some new people come into racing along with former racers that are coming back.(Read the rest of Chuck’s story on our web site.)
