' GEORGIA ON OUR MIND'
The Carolina Clash Super Late Models return to Screven Motor Speedway in Sylvania, Georgia May 2nd
Veteran NC driver Doug Sanders is riding on “Cloud 42” fresh off his great finish last Saturday night at Bulls Gap, TN, where he took command of the Carolina Clash points lead. He will be ready to tackle the Screven Motor Speedway Saturday night to challenge the stars of Georgia, Alabama & Florida, along with the new faces and seasoned veterans of the Carolina Clash Super Late Model series. Doug Sanders, who won many races at the historic Carolina Speedway in Gastonia, NC throughout the 1980s and 1990s, said that Screven reminded him of the old Carolina Speedway, except wider. So, Doug Sanders knows how to get around layouts such as Screven and he is ready.
