regular division classes have their own special night. Tonight it’s the Sportsmen drivers turn to “Show Boat” as the featured event in the West Florida Coating Sportsmen Speedtacular. All year this class has consistently given some of the most exciting and competitive racing we have seen. Points leader Brannon Fowler has a slim lead over second place Jim Pokrant, while Marty White, Randy Thompson and Chris Nielsen round out the top five. Throw Steve Buttrick, Stevie Mercer, Tina Davidson and Jimmy Goodwin in the mix and I promise you a good ole dog fight for all 35 laps.

And the winner is....Tommy Dyess of Cantonment, who went home with a new 32 inch LG LCD television from Buddy’s Home Furnishing Center on 9 Mile Road. The drawing was 2 weeks ago, during the Buddy’s Blizzard Series race, to celebrate the opening of their new Ensley store. One fan won $259 in the 50/50 drawing, and a Fan Club member won a car detail from Matt Barnett auto detailing.
