The
Topless Outlaw Dirt Late Model Series presented by Stanley Best
Heating & Air will embark on a double-header weekend at
two ultra-competitive short tracks this weekend with over $28,000
in total prize money up for grabs.
On
Friday, September 22, Brasstown once again become the center
for speed in Clay County as Tri County Racetrack held its 602
Late Model Spring Championship race. As the name suggests, the
race was originally scheduled in the spring but fell victim
to a rainout. The second attempt for the event was also a victim
to excessive moisture. On Friday, however, the weather could
not have been better. (Mark Carter Photo)

fans ended their holiday weekend by making the journey to Brasstown
for the annual C.T. Barnette Memorial super late model race
at Tri-County Racetrack. This year's version of the event was
sanctioned by the Southern All-Star Series and was the first
visit to the track for the historic series. (Deango

Monk
Gulledge bested a strong field of Southern Vintage Racing competitors
on Friday night at Tri-County Race Track! During the popular
Fan Appreciation Night, which also served as Back to School
Nickel Night this year, Monk beat Jeffrey Wood, Johnny Starkey,
Berry Powell, and Lloyd Roberts to the checkered flag at the
Brasstown, North Carolina venue. Other winners on the evening
included Danny Ledford (Limited/Crate Late Model), Colton Berrong
(Interstate Welding 602 Late Model), Daniel Helton (602 Late
Model B-Feature), Keith Baker (Open Wheel Modified), Roger Beaver
(Street Stock), Jim Exum (Front Wheel Drive), and Steven Beaver
(Pony). |
Jimmy
Owens, of Newport, Tennessee, extended his current Schaeffer’s
Oil Southern Nationals Series point lead on Thursday night with
a victory at Tri-County Race Track, but not by much, as the
top four drivers in the tight series point battle occupied the
first four spots in the final rundown of the 40-lap main event.
Jimmy started off his evening by laying down the third quickest
time in Group A during the qualifying session, which locked
him into the inside of the third row for the start of the A-Main.
The popular driver known as the “Newport Nightmare”
then quickly moved up to the second position and hounded early
race leader Donald McIntosh for the point. (Trevor

Tri-County
Race Track is unfortunately forced to cancel this Thursday night’s
race (July 13) due to equipment failures in the concession stand
and involving the motor grader. These equipment issues have
delayed track preparation and with a chance of rain as well,
we feel it's best to take the night off and get everything ready
for our next event. The Interstate Welding 602 Late Model Championship
will now be held on Friday, September 22. The next event at
Tri-County Race Track will be THURSDAY, JULY 27. Make plans
to join us for the $7,553 to win Schaeffer's Oil Southern Nationals
extravaganza!
The
heat was on in Brasstown, NC on Tuesday, July 4th, but that
didn't keep folks away from Tri County Racetrack. The stands
were filled with red, white and blue clad racing fans who were
ready to celebrate freedom with American horsepower. (Deango

The
first win of the night at Tri-County Racetrack on Friday, June
23, came when the sun flooded Brasstown instead of the rain
showers in the area. To the surprise of many, the racing event
went off without a hitch.
Clayton
Miller swept the evening at Tri-County Race Track, as he earned
Fast Time honors in Cumberland Plateau Open Wheel Racing Series
qualifying before securing the $2,000 top prize tonight in the
feature! Clayton beat a top five that consisted of Brandon Kinzer,
J.T. Ayers, Matthew Hopper, and Billy Palmer. Other winners
on the night at the Brasstown, North Carolina oval included
Danny Ledford (Limited/Crate Late Model), Ricky Smith (Interstate
Welding 602 Late Model), C.B. McKinnon (602 Late Model B-Feature),
Matt Whitener (Street Stock), Zac Cox (Pony), and Josh Deese

Our
annual Memorial Day Championship was on tap on Monday, May 29
at Tri-County Race Track and a strong field of cars showed up
and showed out at the Brasstown, North Carolina oval. David
Payne pocketed the $2,000 top prize in the Super Late Model
division over a top five that included runner-up Gavin Cowan,
Shawn Chastain, Jamie Oliver, and Dillon Daves. Other winners

The
weather was picture-perfect on Friday, May 19 when race fans
made their way to Brasstown for the Spring Championships for
three of the weekly divisions. Along with the trio of special
events, all other weekly divisions were also in action. The
King Ford Limited/Crate Late Model main event saw competitors
sling sideways chasing $1,500. Warne's Danny Ledford got off
to a strong start with momentum from his outside pole starting
spot. However, while leading, Ledford's No.4 slowed as mechanical
issues ended the night for the "Dynamite Kid." (Candice

Carson
Ferguson, of Lincolnton, North Carolina, stretched out his current
Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Series point lead with
a victory on Friday at Tri-County Race Track in Brasstown, North
Carolina! Carson topped the 27 car field during the qualifying
session to earn Fast Time honors and the pole position for the
40-lap feature. After narrowly edging past early race leader
Will Roland to lead lap five, Carson grabbed the point for good
on lap thirteen. The defending Spring Nationals Champion beat
his nearest competition by 0.707 seconds to reach victory lane
at the “Tiger Pit” and bag the $7,553 first place
prize. (Josh Carpenter Photo)
After
challenging race-long leader Brandon Williams for several laps,
Chip Brindle, of Chatsworth, Georgia, took the lead of the 'Vol-Heel
Spring Shootout' on lap 36 with an inside move in turn one and
led the final five circuits at Tri-County Race Track tonight
to capture the $2,500 first place prize money! Brindle earned
his first career American All-Stars Series victory over a top
five that included runner-up and ninth-starting Booger Brooks,
Jason Deal, Brandon Williams, and Tucker Anderson.
