Mother Nature Pushes Swainsboro Southern Nationals Showdown to Wednesday, July 21

(SWAINSBORO, GEORGIA)  Night four of the Southern Nationals Series was unfortunately washed out tonight at the Swainsboro Raceway in Swainsboro, Georgia.  Seventeen of the twenty-eight competitors that signed in for the $5,300 to win event had taken time during the qualifying session before Mother Nature reared her ugly head.  The program has been rescheduled for Wednesday evening, July 21 and the mid-week race will still pay $5,300 to the winner.  All rain-checks from tonight will be honored at Swainsboro next Wednesday and entry fees will be good for any future Southern Nationals show this year.

Before the rain hit, Ivedent Lloyd, of Ocala, Florida, had laid down the fastest lap during time trials, as he toured the Peachtree State venue in 14.228 seconds.  His time will not stand; however, as a complete new program will take place on July 21.  Below is a list of the twenty-eight drivers that were on hand tonight at Swainsboro:

Vic Hill, Tommy Kerr, Mike Collins, Chesley Dixon, Casey Barrow, Brian Nuttall, Jr., Ivedent Lloyd, Jonathan Davenport, Chris Ferguson, John Pursley, Jr., Clint Smith, G.R. Smith, Mike Akeson, Tony Knowles, Jeremy Faircloth, Ben Faircloth, Brent Dixon, Donald Bradsher, Mitch Fulford, Brian Booze, Casey Roberts, John Henderson, Brian Reese, Jeff Smith, Jimmy Ivester, Kenny Compton, Jr., Ethan Hunter, Tommy Gandy

The 2010 Southern Nationals Series campaign will soldier on to the Screven Motor Speedway in Sylvania, Georgia on Saturday night, July 17 for another $5,300 to win showdown.

Night One of Southern Nationals Series at Wythe Succumbs to Mother Nature

(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA)  Round one of the highly anticipated Southern Nationals Series schedule has been won by Mother Nature.  The $3,500 to win show scheduled for tonight, July 12 at the Wythe Raceway in Rural Retreat, Virginia has been canceled due to inclement weather and will not be rescheduled.  The popular Southeastern mini-series will now kick-off their 2010 campaign on Tuesday night, July 13 at the Carolina Speedway in Gastonia, North Carolina.

"It is unfortunate that we have to cancel tonight's event at Wythe," stated a dejected Ray Cook today.  "The racetrack has received a lot of rain already and there is certainly more in the forecast.  From all of the calls I was getting, it looked like the show was shaping up to be a good one, but Mother Nature did not cooperate."

Southern Nationals Series Moves Rome Speedway Date to Sunday, July 18

(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA)  In a joint decision made recently by officials from both the Southern Nationals Series and the Rome Speedway, it has been decided to move the series date at the legendary Rome, Georgia facility.  Instead of hosting the popular Southern Nationals Series on Monday, July 19, Rome will now open their gates for the series on Sunday, July 18.  The sixth stop on the 2010 Southern Nationals Series tour will now pay $5,300 to win instead of the previously announced $3,500 payday.

"We prefer not to race on Sunday, but track owner Mickey Swims really wanted to move the date up a day," stated series promoter Ray Cook.  "The bad part of it is, the guys that follow the series will now have to run four nights in a row, but at least three of those races will now pay $5,300 to win.  Hopefully, the date change will work out for everyone and who knows, maybe an extra bigger purse will entice some drivers to follow the entire deal."

Ray Cook's Southern Nationals Series kicks off in less than a month on Monday night, July 12 at the Wythe Raceway in Rural Retreat, Virginia!  The popular Southeastern Dirt Late Model mini-series will once again sanction ten events in a matter of only thirteen days in the states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee.  The ultra-competitive tour now has five events on the schedule that will pay $5,300 to win and five shows that will pay $3,500 to the winner.  Shown below is the final version of the 2010 Southern Nationals Series schedule:
