GEORGIA STOCK CAR RACING MARCH 25, 2010

Venerable North Georgia Speedway, a dirt-track racer favorite for 
decades, is under new management and partners Timmy Millwood and Tom 
Peters, both with racing experience, are promising more races and a 
more fan-friendly environment.
Anything would be better than the Monty Morrow-directed operation over 
the past couple of years. Morrow, who also promotes the Cleveland 
(Tenn.) Speedway, almost destroyed the Chatsworth operation. Morrow had 
only five or six races at North Georgia last spring and summer. Fans 
and drivers are sure to welcome Millwood and Peters with open arms.
A 26-race schedule is in place and will get under way Saturday. Gates 
will open at 5 p.m. and racing begins at 7:30 p.m. Adm. $10.
“We’re giving a commitment of our time and money to make sure guys 
have a full schedule and we’ll run every Saturday night,” Peters said.
The Southern Regional Racing Series will make at least three stops at 
NGS, the first scheduled for April 3. The Southern All-Stars will be in 
Chatsworth for a $5,000 Late Model event on May 8 and the Volunteer 
Racing Series has two $3,000 races slated for May 29 and Sept. 4.

North Georgia's practice session got exciting when John Carter flipped 
his late model three times - either trying to miss a dog (possibly 
named Monty) on the track or after contact with another car.  Picture 
of the car's remains:

The USARacing Pro Cup Series (once known as the Hooter's Series, will 
kick off its second season of competition Saturday at Gresham 
Motorsports Park with a 250-lap race.
Jimmy Wilson, Vice President and Series Director, said the series is 
strong, proven and ready to compete on the track. “We got through our 
14-race schedule last year and going into 2010 we’ve got a 16-race 
schedule.  We’re solid.  We’re still trying to finalize that elusive 
series sponsor but we will get it ... If we could average 30 cars at 
every event this year, improve upon our attendance from last year, and 
have a safe season - That would be a successful season in my opinion.”
The race marks the return of the series to the Jefferson, Ga., 
half-mile oval for the first time since Clay Rogers captured the 
Aaron’s 199 in 2007.
Rogers, the 2009 USARacing Pro Cup Series champion, recently visited 
the track and was impressed by the improvements.
“They’ve got a beautiful facility down there and have a lot of new 
asphalt and a really smooth racing surface,” Rogers said.  “I’d say 
we’re going to be a second to a second and half faster than we were 
there in the past.  It’s going to be a little different ballgame but 
we’re still going to put on a heck of a show I’m sure."
One Georgian is pre-entered: Bill Plemons Jr., of Locust Grove, with 
sponsorship from IRM / Jones Recycling / Hooters.
Live Oak Plantation, a sporting retreat located in the tall pine woods 
and wild wiregrass fields near Adel, GA, offering Quail, pheasant and 
deer hunting, fishing, and golf, is sponsoring the race.
There will also be features in the Outlaw Late Models, Renegade Street 
Stocks and Mini-Stock divisions, starting at 6 p.m. Adult Tickets $25. 
If you have a ticket stub from the GMP March 13 season-opening event, 
you'll get $5 off an Adult ticket.

Montgomery Motor Speedway’s season-opening “Show Me The Money” race 
should have been called “Show Me Some Excitement.”
Money didn’t seem to be the driving force in the dramatic last-lap 
battle for the win, as Chase Elliott, Josh Hamner and Justin South put 
on a classic short-track battle for the win, with South, who took the 
white flag in second place, taking the win with Elliott a close second 
and Hamner third.
  For Elliott, the race could just as well have been called “Stand On 
The Gas” because those were the instructions he got from his father and 
spotter Bill Elliott when the laps wound down and it was time for the 
teenager to run with the big Late Model dogs or sit on the porch.
  “I loved it when we were coming to one of our last restarts and Dad 
said, ‘Stand on it, son’ instead of ‘Ready….ready….Green Flag,’” 
Elliott said. “It was just that kind of a night.”
Elliott was there with his No. 9 Aaron’s Dream Machine, sporting a new 
paint scheme for the first time this season and a freshened Blue Oval 
Ford 347 Crate Motor under the hood, and qualified second - breaking 
the old track record.

Austin Hubbard is an extremely talented 18-year-old who's thrilled to 
be running for a high-profile team on the World of Outlaws Late Model 
Series – and when he wins a race, he's going to show just how thrilled 
he is.
Such was the case on Saturday night at Screven Motor Speedway, where 
Hubbard followed through on his promise to celebrate wildly after his 
first career WoO LMS A-Main victory. He had, of course, already broken 
out his impersonation of Ricky Bobby in Talladega Nights – stripping 
down to his fireproof long underwear and running wildly on the 
racetrack – after winning his first major dirt Late Model event in 
January at Golden Isles Speedway in Brunswick, Ga., but he was more 
than ready to do it again.
Hubbard added some new elements to his arm-flapping Ricky Bobby run, 
this time putting his helmet back on after removing his fireproof top 
and executing several "I'm on fire!" rolls on the inside of the track. 
With red clay smeared on his exposed skin, he also ran along the 
outside wall and high-fived the long line of fans sticking their hands 
through the catch fence.
Clint Smith, who celebrated his 45th birthday on Saturday, hired some 
help for his chief mechanic (and cousin) Darrell ('Don Vito') Cooper, 
who spent most of the 2009 season as Smith's lone fulltime wrench. 
Joining the Georgia veteran's team last week was Brad Baum, the 2007 
WoO LMS Crew Chief of the Year while working under Chub Frank.
Shane Clanton was back in competitive action after a serious thumb 
infection forced him to merely start-and-park his car in last month's 
season-opening WoO LMS events. His left thumb is healing well (he had 
only a small bandage covering it) and gave him no problems behind the 
wheel – even after a flying rock struck his injured finger.

Georgia native Andrew Smith is taking a major step forward in his 
racing career by moving up to the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East at the 
season opening event at Greenville-Pickens Speedway Saturday. Smith is 
set to pilot the #37 for the Spraker Racing Enterprises team owned by 
Jeff Spraker, of Mooresville, NC.
  In 2009, Andrew was the first driver to earn the prestigious “Golden 
Wheel Award” as the winner of the inaugural Humpy’s Heroes Development 
Program. He started racing at age 8 and won his first championship at 
9. Since those early days, Andrew has racked up over 200 wins, the 2009 
Georgia Legends Road Course Championship, the 2009 Georgia Legends Dirt 
Championship, as well as the 2008 Legends National Championship.
  Smith comments, “I am looking forward to the opportunity to take this 
next step in my career. I was very comfortable in the car during our 
test session, and I know that I will have proven equipment from the 
Spraker Racing operation.”  The #37 team hopes to capitalize on their 
past experience at the Greenville-Pickens facility.
“Andrew has a strong short-track background and this track should be 
the perfect match for that experience. We’re looking forward to working 
with him this year as he runs for Rookie of the Year in this 
competitive series,” says Spraker.
The race will be televised on Speed TV Thursday at 6:00 p.m.

The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series says an independent lab 
determined that samples from a tire that Chris Madden used to compete 
with at the Spring Thaw at Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap, TN, had 
been chemically altered before it was used in the Lucas Oil Late Model 
Dirt Series sanctioned heat race on March 6, 2010 at Volunteer 
Speedway.
  The following penalties were handed down: Madden is being fined 300 
points, plus the $1500 fine, $300 in lab testing fees, the $5,000 
winnings for his 2nd place finish in the feature event, for a total of 
$6,800.00.
A tire sample was collected from both Ray Cook and Jimmy Owens, 
tested, and found to be legal. A tire sample was also collected from 
Scott Bloomquist and Chris Wall at the March Madness event March 7th at

surface and then grinding the surface.
Drivers will get a chance to try out the new surface Saturday 1-5 
p.m., Fri., April 2 5-9 p.m.,and Tues., April 6 5-8 p.m.

The ole days weren't always good: Brandon Reed's latest article tells 
the story of the 1950 death of Skimp Hersey at Lakewood Speedway. Most 
drivers at Lakewood carried a gas can in their car, in case they ran 
out on the track's long back stretch, and Hersey's can spilled and 
ignited when he tumbled side-over-side in front of the grandstands and 
15,000 fans. The dazed driver got out of the car. "The closest person 
to Hersey was a photographer for an Atlanta newspaper (which is still 
being published today). The photographer moved out onto the track, and 
had been taking photos of the accident when Hersey emerged from the 
flames. He never went to help. He just continued taking photos. They 
would run in gruesome sequence on the front page of the next day’s 
paper."
"The photographer, according to witness reports, had to be personally 
escorted by police from the track.  Had the crowd gotten their hands on 
the photographer, they likely would have torn him to pieces."
