Jimmy Owens Racing Updates
Man that suns bright going down the front stretch

[HIGHBANK]

Babb stopped by Vaught's hauler to tell him how dam stupid he is but Vaught ran into his hauler!!

[Returning to Dirt]

Be advised. There have been many, many tire issues in the mod race. Expect the same in Sprints and LMs.

[gofaster21]

Babb stopped by Vaught's hauler to tell him how dam stupid he is but Vaught ran into his hauler!!

Good! This proves that Vaught is the bigger man!!

[Returning to Dirt]

Late models are going to run now instead of sprints. Sprints will run after track maintainence due to all the tire issues in the mod race.

[MUD MAESTRO]

never seen so many tires fail during a race as with the big blocks. How will this effect the Lm. Track looks to be super slick but smooth.

[Returning to Dirt]

Magnificent job by Davenport weaving through lapped cars. What a hot rod Davenport has. Barry Wright chassis whips um all.

Those DirtVision guys are awesome. Reminds of listening to NASCAR races on MRN as a kid.

[Returning to Dirt]

@TheWisWildman http://twitpic.com/34j7fi heat race line ups for tonights late model heat races

Here we go for round #2

[Returning to Dirt]

You've gotta think Davenport is the favorite going into tonight but of course the track will be different as night and day so to speak. Still, JD is in the same position as before being on front row in the first heat.

[ChrisNunn]

You cant get a better position to be in than Superman has.

[Returning to Dirt]

@TheDirtTrack Jason Meyers takes home the victory in the first Sprint Car A-Feature, followed by Joey Saldana and Daryn Pittman.

I misunderstood earlier. I thought this race was not going to run until the show came on at 8:00 on TV.

[ga racer]

so dirtvision has screwed everybody that paid for the internet races out of seeing the sprint car feature or the track has one.

[IceCowart]

Can you say Superman has took flight again!Better get use to it.

[golddirt]

remember this race is NOT live on speed, it is tape delay.

[racer19]

live on speed right now just raced one of the big block b mains on from 8pm til midnight

[Returning to Dirt]

Man, Davenport is smoking them in the first heat race. (I'm watching on TV rather than keeping up live.)

[Returning to Dirt]

Davenport, Richards and Francis transfer out of heat 1.
