Let’s Kick Start the 2015 Blizzard Racing Season Last week our fans were treated to a great 2015 season opener as the “King of the Wing” Sprint Cars made their first appearance at Five Flags Speedway. They really thrilled the fans with some fast paced action. Congratulations to Bobby Santos on his victory. All of last weeks winners are on the back page. Don’t expect any less tonight as the Super Late Models invade the track; This is a class of race cars that don’t take a back seat to any other class. This will be the first of four Super Late Model races this year. It will be a Southern Super Series/Blizzard series show so you can expect a great and very competitive field of cars.
Casey Smith of Austin, SSS Points Leader.
Casey Smith will come in as the Southern Super Series point’s leader after two races. Casey has started the season off on a good note with top five finishes at Opp, Alabama and Nashville, Tennessee, with plans to take the first place trophy back to Texas. There is no doubt that Smith can get the job done, but he will have to outrun some mighty stiff competitors such as Donnie Wilson, Bubba Pollard, Augie Grill and a host of other drivers with the same thing on their minds…to be the first to the checkered flag. This weekend will also be a double header as the Supers will travel over to Mobile International Speedway to do it all over again on Saturday night. Jimmy White, owner of Deep South Cranes, has stepped up and will be the new sponsor of the Blizzard Series and the Super Late Models starting tonight.
It just seems fit for Deep South Cranes to be the sponsor, as long as they have been affiliated with the speedway. Jimmy is a “Die Hard” fan of racing and his company is a welcome sight at the track. He and his dad have been in business for many years and are well respected by all. Their business is located just a couple miles from the speedway. I just want to say WELCOME ABOARD BOYS!! Also on the schedule for some exciting racing tonight are the Pro Trucks, Sportsman and Bombers to round out the evening. See storyi inside on Branden Harris moving to the Pro Trucks. We will return in two weeks, May 8th, for a 100 lapper for the Allen Turner Hyundai Pro Late Models. Until then, stay safe, stay well and we’ll see ya at the track!!!
