INDEPENDENCE DAY SHOOT OUT NEXT STOP ON ULTIMATE TOUR
Sunday, July 3rd the Ultimate Super Late Model Series returns to Cherokee Speedway in Gaffney SC
for the Independence Day Shoot Out. Most recent Ultimate winner, Ross Bailes will look to continue his winning ways into the $4000 to win feature event. Bailes, who dominated the Shrine race at Laurens County Speedway, picked up his first series victory. That big win, which was only his second time in the Bobby Wilson owned B4 machine, moved Bailes up to 5th in the season’s points battle trailing leader Chris Ferguson by 46 points. Ferguson stretched his points lead by a scant 2 points over 2nd place “Mr. Cool” Chip Brindle. Only 5 points separates Brindle with 4 time defending SASE champion Casey Roberts.
Exciting battles, passes, and racing with two and three wide action has been the key to the success of the new Ultimate Series. With six races into this year’s tour, the Ultimate Series has seen 5 different winners with only Jonathon Davenport picking up more than one victory. He has been joined in Victory Lane by Chris Madden, John Henderson, Jimmy Owens and Ross Bailes. Perhaps as interesting are the names that are still seeking their first win in Ultimate competition this year. Chris Ferguson has been consistently in the top 5 every race but hasn’t been able to take home the winners check yet this year. Casey Roberts also has been shut out. Ricky Weeks, always a force in Super Late Model racing is still searching for that elusive win. Colby Cannon after a strong run at Laurens, finishing 2nd hopes Cherokee will be where he bounces back to Victory Lane. Others looking for that first win of the Series include Kid Quick Zack Mitchell, Daniel “Bagz” Baggerly, Casey Barrow, and Rookie of the Year leader Chip Brindle.
Yes, there will be Fireworks both in the air and on the track as The Ultimate Supers will be joined by the
Limited Sportsman, Crate Sportsman, Pure Stock, Stock 4, Young Gun, & Extreme 4. divisions. Pit gates will open at 4pm with the Grandstands opening at 5pm. Drivers meeting will be at 7pm with Hot laps immediately following. Additional money will be added to the purses of all support divisions.
The Independence Shoot Out begins a busy month for the Ultimate Series with dates at Bulls Gap TN, June 16th, followed by a big $10000 feature at Virginia Motor Speedway in Jamaica VA July 23rd. We will close out the month of July with the rescheduled event at Wythe Raceway in Rural Retreat VA July 30th.
