Tonight’s Schaeffer Oil Southern Nationals Race at Swainsboro Rained Out

(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) With many race haulers inside of the pit area and more waiting outside of the pit gate, Mother Nature unleashed a heavy rain shower on the Swainsboro Raceway in Swainsboro, Georgia tonight, which canceled the $5,300 to win Schaeffer Oil Southern Nationals Series program. There will be no reschedule date for the show, which was to be headlined by a 53-lap feature event. The stars of the series will now turn their focus to the Screven Motor Speedway in Sylvania, Georgia on Saturday evening, July 16.

The 12th Annual ‘Rebel Yell’ will be held tomorrow at Screven and another $5,300 top prize will await the winner. This will mark the sixth consecutive year that the Schaeffer Oil Southern Nationals Series has visited Screven and previous winners include: Henry Carter ('06), Jimmy Sharpe ('07), Dennis Franklin ('08 & '09), Casey Roberts ('10). You can learn more about the ‘Rebel Yell’ program tomorrow night by visiting www.screvenmotorspeedway.com.

We hated that the race was rained out, but Wickey had one of those marinated Boston butt sandwiches during the rainstorm and said it was great.

Kudos to Paul Purvis for inviting all the drivers and crews up to the concession stand to eat after the rainout. He didn't want the food to go to waste, and it didn't. He's a class act, all the way.
