(Carnesville, GA)…The momentum just never seems to stop as the FASTRAK Late Model Touring Series starts off the $77,000 in total purse money for the teams in the next 22 days. It all begins this weekend from the previously rained at Georgia’s Toccoa Speedway event in a Southern/Mid-East combination Touring Series event Saturday, June 16 paying $3,000 to-win.
Toccoa is a FASTRAK “weekly-sanctioned” track and has been so for the last two years. “FASTRAK has done a great job for us,” expressed Toccoa Promoter Randy McCoy. “We have averaged over 17 cars per week this year. This crate engine deal with FASTRAK is really taking off. They are putting on great races and the class continues grows every year. It’s one of the few things actually growing in racing”.
The Series continues to attract some of the best in the business like Jack Pennington, Frankie Beard, Shanon Buckingham, Bill Morgan, David McCoy, George Reese, Lee Cooper, and Timbo Mangum. The “young gun gang” is probably one of the most promising features of the series. Youngsters Jordy Nipper of Macon, Georgia in the 1N, William “Mr. Smooth” Thomas of Phenix City Al in the 22, Chris “Fergy Time” Ferguson of NC in the 22c, Travis Pennington of Winston GA in the black 01, Brandon “Cornbread” Hailey from Lavonia, Georgia in the 51 car, AJ “Sideways” Watson in the 99 car of Loganville, Georgia and the list just seems to grow every week.
“I am proud of our young guns,” said FASTRAK founder Stan Lester. “I really believe this is the best group of young talent anywhere in the country. These guys are good, I mean really good. I have seen all of them beat the “pros” at one time or another. There were several NASCAR scouts from driver development programs at the Lowe’s race paying very close attention to these guys. I look forward to seeing them move up one day. We will be right there to support them all the way”.
FASTRAK has proven to be one of the most competitive racing series in the country this year as there have been 7 events resulting in 7 different winners. This weekend’s event at Toccoa will certainly be no different resulting in side by side racing through the entire field on every lap.
June 16 Toccoa Speedway Toccoa GA $3,000 to win
June 23 East Alabama Motor Speedway Phenix City AL $2,000 to win
June 29 Volunteer Speedway Bulls Gap TN Open practice
June 30 Volunteer Speedway Bulls Gap TN $5,000 to win
July 4 Mercer Raceway Park Mercer PA $5,000 to win
July 4 Antioch Speedway Morganton NC $2,000 to win
July 7 Lancaster Speedway Lancaster SC $2,000 to win
