Message From Buck Simmons
I went and saw Buck today. Buck really looked 100% better than he did the last time i saw him. When we walked into his room, he was sitting up on his bed with a big ole smile on his face. Buck said to tell everyone at the Lavonia & Toccoa Speedway's he really appreciated the love offering that was taken up for him. To all the 4m.net & racetrackforums.net Family.....Buck said the Thoughts and Prayers is the reason he now has win #1,024. Buck is scheduled to go Home Wednesday (July,28th). This will be just like an early Birthday gift to him because the Living Legend turns 64 July 31.
I have had several messages from different folks here on 4m.net wanting to help Buck out. If anyone wants to make any kind of offering to help buck out, you can send it to me and i will personally make sure he gets it.

The Southern All Stars Dirt Racing Series will head to the tradition rich Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, AL, Saturday for the 13th Annual Michael Head Jr. Memorial.
The 54-lap / $5400 to win affair pays tribute to the late son of 1991 Southern All Stars Dirt Racing Series Champion Mike Head, of Ellenwood, GA. Michael Head Jr. was tragically murdered in April of 1997 in suburban Atlanta. The annual fundraiser at the 1/3 mile red clay oval track, dubbed The Hornet's Nest, benefits the Kayla Head Trust Fund. Kayla is Michael's daughter.
In August, Mike Head will be inducted into the National Dirt Racing Hall of Fame.
Defending race winner Tim Busha, of Boaz, AL, captured his first-ever Southern All Stars Dirt Racing Series victory at this same event in 2009 in an exciting fashion after starting ninth and getting by Neil Baggett of Shannon, MS, on lap thirty-three to take the lead for good and in the process topped a stellar field of thirty-nine entries representing five states.
The 2010 edition of the Michael head Jr. Memorial is expected to recapture that same level of excitement with drivers from the local, regional and national level competing for over $20,000 in prize money including the winner’s share of $5,400.
Local racing divisions in action on Saturday include: The Broiler Room Sportsman, Crate late Models, Farmers Insurance IMCA Modifieds, Thunder 92.7 FM Thundercars, Dorsey’s Supermarket Hot Shots, and Race City Travel Center Street Stock. Racing action at 8:00PM. Grandstands $20 (kids 9 and under Free). www.TalladegaShortTrack.com www.SouthernAllStarsRacingSeries.com.
Dingus Griffin scored the win in a photo finish in Super Late Model action at Talladega Short Track last Saturday Night. Griffin led the race early before Busha jockeyed his was way up front in one of the best races of the 2010 season. Side by side racing from first on back throughout the thirty-lap feature kept the fans on the edge of their seats.
Jason Hiett won the twenty-lap Crate Late Model feature event with Tim Staples second and Adam Martin third.

Lanier Speedway: We have our first Track Champion of 2010. Amber Fleeman clinched the Bandolero Outlaw Championship with her 3rd place run in the Outlaws last night.
Saturday's winners: Christopher Tullis (Bando Bandit), Parker Barnes (Outlaw), Russell Fleeman (Junkyard Dog), RS Senter (Legends Semi-Pro), Matthew Johnson (Young Lion), Taylor Hull (Pro), Phillip Young (Master), James Nash (Mini Stock), Jason Bates (Outlaw Late Model), Phillip Young (SuperTrucks).
Dwayne Buggay took the Lanier spotlight, beating pole sitter Russell Fleeman to the line in The Red Top Auto Auction Super Six Series. Unfortunately, yet another DQ - further back in the field - is looking to steal his thunder.
Buggay broke up Russell Fleeman's domination of the series, joining Shane Sawyer as the only drivers to do so this season, with only one 2010 race now remaining. Fleeman and Buggay lapped every other car in the 12-car field.
Tyler Speer initially finished third, but was tossed out in post-race technical inspection for an illegal carburetor booster kit. That moved Michael Pilla up to the top three.

Timmy Millwood and North Georgia Speedway welcomed the PPM Race Products Southern Regional Racing Series Super Late Models to their facility. 32 top drivers representing 5 states registered in for the 40 lap, $3,000 to win, feature race.
Fast qualifier Randy Weaver quickly took the lead on the start of the race and would hold on, with Ronnie Johnson moving up and challenging him for the lead, until a broken racecar would retire Weaver for the night. Johnson would lead the rest of the 40 laps to take the checkered and the $3,000 jackpot. Second place went to Riley Hickman followed by Derek Ellis (Chatsworth, GA), Skip Arp (Georgetown, TN) and Brandon Kinzer (Allen, KY).

Secret Star of the NASCAR Race: The Best Run You Never Saw
For some, an eighteenth-place finish would be considered a major disappointment. But when you're operating with one-tenth the budget of what the big teams have, it means the world.
Just ask the Wood Brothers, whose team has spent the last two years hanging by a thread as they rebuild their operation with funding from Motorcraft to run just a dozen events. For them, a top-20 finish shows progress as they try and form a foundation of notes to draw from for the future. That's exactly what Bill Elliott pulled off on Sunday, just his second such run of the year in driving the No. 21 Ford from 31st to 18th. Ending the day on the lead lap, it's the first time he's done that since Atlanta in March.
But lower expectations don't ever take the fight out of the 1988 Cup champ, seemingly disappointed despite a run that beat big guns Johnson, Gordon, and even Montoya.
"At the beginning of the run I was just so loose," he said. "I never could get the car tight enough. By the end of the run we were OK, but by that time you lost so much ground to everybody else that you couldn't run."
Looking on the bright side, the team's now in great shape to build a little momentum in the season's second half. Their next race, Michigan, is Elliott's favorite track. – Tom Bowles, The Frontstretch, 7/26/10
Gresham Motorsports Park is now selling tickets ($20) for the August 28 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East 150 lap event.
It will mark the first time a NASCAR race has been held at Gresham Motorsports Park since the mid 1980's. The Jefferson, GA track was opened as Jefco Speedway with a NASCAR Sportsman (now Nationwide) Series event in 1967.

The bullring at Huntsville, AL, is for sale, but owner Martin Pierce tells www.Z3Sports.com that it will not close.
Dawn and Martin Pierce have operated Huntsville (AL) Speedway for the last five years. Having moved from Florida to take over the quarter-mile oval, they are now looking for “a little more freedom.”
The speedway - known for cleanliness and facilties better than most quarter-mile weekly tracks - sits on 26 acres of leased land. Pierce owns the structures and racing surface. Both are available to prospective buyers with reasonable offers.
“I can’t stress it enough that we are not closing,” he said. “If a buyer is not secured, then we will cut back our schedule slightly, but we are not closing.” http://www.z3sports.com

“Man, this is cool to get a Southern Nationals Series win at Volunteer Speedway,” said Georgia racer Jonathan Davenport, after climbing from his car in victory lane with a big smile on his face. “It’s a blast racing around these high banks. Everybody knows about ‘The Gap’ and to now be able to say I’ve won a race here, it’s awesome. We had a really good car here tonight. We were fast right from the start during hot laps and then we backed it up with fast-time in qualifying to nail down the pole position. During the race I just couldn’t have asked for a better driving car.
“This is a new Barry Wright Race Car we debuted earlier this week when we won at East Alabama Motor Speedway, and we ran awfully well with it last night at Cleveland (Tenn.) Speedway, too. We really should have won that race, but we got tangled up with an (idiot) who wasn’t driving past the air cleaner on his hood and it took us out of the race. So it’s awesome to have this strong run here to victory tonight, it’s just a statement of how good this race team is. I want to dedicate this win to

Cochran Speedway has racing in all local classes Saturday.
Last week Montie Vaughn Won Big In the Sportsman Summer Sizzler!
With a full moon looming in the sky overhead, 78 cars packed the pits, and the grandstands were full of fans. The feature races got under way with the $1,000 dollar to win sportsman race. The "Rentz Ga Bad Boy"Danny Earl Warren, took off to a commanding lead until contact with a lapped car sent him to the rear. The race restarted with Lizella, Ga's, Montie Vaughn in the lead only to be briefly challenged by the C4 machine of Charlie Waller. Robert Etheridge battled past Waller to capture second position. Vaughn had no trouble holding on to the win followed by Etheridge and Waller.
The second feature of the night was the Purestock division, in which Darrel Dunn of Milledgeville started on the front row beside "Scooter" Smith. This race saw many cautions due to many incidents in the back of the pack, but nothing could slow Dunn down as he held on for his first win of the year. Scooter Smith finished second behind Dunn in his #96 machine followed by Danny Rycroft with his best run of the year.
Ricky Culpepper dominated the Latemodel event from the pole over a large field of latemodels. Dublin drivers Eric Baggett and Blake Smith battled throughout the race followed closely by the veteran Dennis Mcdaniel. The race was only slowed twice for the caution. Culpepper went on to win followed by last weeks winner, Stevie Jones. Eric Bagget came home third in the #27 Dublin Tire machine. By Sara Odom http://www.cochrangaspeedway.com/

Murphy driver Jamie Oliver returned to Tri-County after running on the Super Late Model circuit the last two weeks and out dueled the eight car field for another victory. Robbinsville driver Preston Crisp had his best finish of the year with a strong second place finish on the super fast clay oval. Danny Ledford blasted his way through the field for third after being sent to the back of the pack when he got into the back of Bobby Panter on the back stretch, spinning both cars. Panter was fourth and Doug Sneed rounded out the top five.
After qualifying, only three cars made the starting line up in the GM Performance Late Model feature but it was the best race of the night when Young Harris’s Tony Ledford jumped to the lead as Sam Parris and Kevin Bradshaw were inches behind for 20 of the 25 laps. Blue Ridge’s Sam Parris went to the high groove, rim riding the out side wall and moved to the front for the last five laps for his first win of the season. Jason Deal was credited with fourth place.
Tri-County is taking this week off for vacation and returns August 7th with the 100 mph Georgia Mini Sprints and racing in all classes.

The Pro Lates have competed at GMP twice this season with Chase Elliott winning April 17 and David Odell on May 15. Support divisions include the Outlaw Late Models, Trucks, Renegades, Mini Stocks, and Mini-Cups. www.GreshamMotorsportsPark.com
Next at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway is a $2500 to win 125-lap pro late model race Aug. 14. The All American 400 is Oct. 2-3. www.fairgroundsspeedwaynashville.com
Chase Elliott got some Sprint Cup type experience on Monday in the CRA Super Series Red Bud 300 at Anderson (Ind.) Speedway. He got to race wheel-to-wheel with Kyle Busch, and he wound up getting a taste of how Juan Pablo Montoya felt after making a four-tire pit stop late in the Brickyard 400.
Elliott was among the top five in practice, and he qualified fifth behind pole-sitter Kyle Busch for the main event.
He took the white flag in sixth position, but as he made a move that could have given him the fourth position, he was collected in another driver's wreck and wound up finishing 10th.
Scott Hantz wins one of the wildest races in recent memory, according to www.speed51.com
Happy Birthday to Will Prance, of Canton, Aug. 12, and he's celebrating his home schooled high school graduation too. For the Legends Million in Charlotte, Burke B. Murph II and New York LIfe Insurance Company in Valdosta sponsored Will's car, and Murph was there with the team.
Will qualified 19th of 146 cars, and started on the outside pole of his heat, but was wrecked - missing the feature which paid $250,000 to win.
He'll make five starts in his pro asphalt late model this year. http://www.burkemurph.com/index.cfm http://www.willprance.com/
Max Gresham, of Griiffin, races Friday at Lee (CT) Speedway in his Joe Gibbs Toyota in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East. He already has two wins in the Series this year. Two weeks ago he led 110 of 200 laps to win his first ARCA race at Mansfield, OH. http://www.maxgresham.com
Andrew Smith, of Pooler, and the Spraker Racing #37 team head north once again as they will try and outrun the bad luck that has plagued them during 2010 season. They will also hit the 3/8 mile oval of the Lee USA Speedway on Friday, July 31 for an all out battle with the rest of the K&N Pro drivers for the win. The Series visits Greshams Aug. 28.
He will return to the red clay of the Oglethorpe Speedway, in Pooler, GA on Tuesday, Aug. 31, as he competes in the annual Race for the Shrine benefit event. Andrew will be competing in three divisions for this event. Not only will he race in the 440 and Late Model divisions, he will also be pitted against fellow NASCAR driver David Ragan - along with local "celebrities" in a special challenge race in the Pure Stock Division. Should be a blast! http://www.andrewsmithracing.com/
