Plenty At Stake as Championship Night Arrives for Locals By Chuck Corder Two dates remain on the regular season schedule at Five Flags Speedway. Fortunately, for drivers and fans of the half-mile asphalt oval, the next 2 Saturdays will hold a lot of intrigue and joyous moments as track champions will be crowned. It all begins Saturday when the local drivers will be the first group to try and earn some hardware. The Faith Chapel Outlaws, WCIparts.com Pro Trucks, The Dock on Pensacola Beach Sportsmen, and Lloyd’s Glass Pure Stocks will all share the marquee .

In addition to a highly anticipated night of racing, we are hosting a bevy of former drivers that at one time etched their names into Pensacola’s high banks. The retired drivers, led by Dickie Davis, will gather near the Turn No. 4 party deck for a night of fun. The drivers from yesteryear who indicated they are coming are listed on the right. With healthy point lead,, teenager Joshua Hicks of Senoia, Ga., and Mobile’s Mark Barnhill have seemingly sewed up track titles in the Pro Trucks and Sportsmen classes, respectively. So, most of the night’s attention will be on the battles for the Outlaw and Pure Stock championships. After years of frustration behind the wheel of Modifieds and other series, Milton driver Chris Cotto has experienced a rebirth in the Outlaws.. A three-time winner this season, Cotto has scored a top-five finish in all but one of the seven features. He will carry a slim, 11-point lead against Bill Tutchtone II. The other battle that will have everyone’s attention is the Pure Stocks. Pensacola’s Robert Balkum finally secured his first career track crown last season and hopes to defend it. But, he’s in a dogfight with Mobile driver Michael Moody, who trails Balkum by just 3 points. (Con’t on our web site).
