Schaeffer Oil Southern Nationals Series Loses Boyd’s Event Due to Obscure Ordinance

(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) Schaeffer Oil Southern National Series promoter Ray Cook announced this morning that the scheduled third stop on the 2012 tour at the Boyd’s Speedway in Ringgold, Georgia will not take place. Due to an ordinance passed years and years ago, and unknown to current General Manager Gar (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)son, racing can only take place at the Chattanooga area facility on weekends. Therefore, the $3,500 to win Schaeffer Oil Southern Nationals Series showdown scheduled for Thursday, July 19 would break that ordinance without a special permit.

“It is unfortunate that the upcoming race at Boyd’s Speedway has to be cancelled,” stated Cook earlier this morning via telephone. “Once we lost North Georgia Speedway about a month ago, Boyd’s stepped up to the plate and wanted the date. Unfortunately, the current management there didn’t realize until this morning that a special permit would be needed to run a show there on a Thursday night.”

“There is a lot of politics behind it and would require council members and judges in both Tennessee and Georgia to get involved,” Cook went on to say. “We are trying our best to secure another track to take the July 19 date and an announcement could come within a day or so. Even with this setback, everyone associated with the Schaeffer Oil Southern Nationals Series is excited about the upcoming season and we hope that it is our best year to date!”

The lid lifter for the 2012 Schaeffer Oil Southern Nationals Series schedule will be this Monday night, July 16 at the Wythe Raceway in Rural Retreat, Virginia. From there, the barnstorming tour will snake through the states of Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama to sanction a total of nine races through July 28. A star-studded list of drivers have announced their intentions on competing in all or most of the series events including reigning series champion Chris Madden, Clint Smith, Tony Knowles, Vic Hill, Brian Reese, Casey Roberts, Austin Dillon, Ty Dillon, Billy Ogle, Jr., Daniel Baggerly, Donald Bradsher, and many more!

**Mike Honcho** · 07-11-2012, 06:04 PM

Looks like this Friday come on Ray bring the boys to tricounty

**kd1** · 07-11-2012, 10:56 PM

Tri-County or Sugar Creek or back to No.Georgia..on a thursday nite, i could probably swing it to NG!

**ALASKA54** · 07-12-2012, 05:09 AM

Waycross or GIS, come on down to South Ga.

**Tom T** · 07-12-2012, 07:22 AM

411 would be a great choice with Smokey being on Tuesday

**DownNDirty** · 07-12-2012, 07:29 AM

411 would be a great choice IMO. I have to get to that track sooner or later. I drive by it every couple of months now doing some field work for my job. I'd definitely try to make a Southern National show at 411.

**tennesseeracefan** · 07-12-2012, 12:08 PM

Go to Duck River!

**garacefan11** · 07-12-2012, 01:23 PM

New promoter at North Georgia Speedway! We would love to put some fans in the stands and watch the Southern National.

**badacefaist19** · 07-12-2012, 01:28 PM

sure would be nice to see THE North GA Speedway get this race back. I would be there watching from turn one with garacefan11. Might even whip up a turn one fans' fund for the fast qualifier

**oldsgm** · 07-12-2012, 01:40 PM

I agree with Alaska54, come on down to south Georgia. If you can not get a race at Waycross or Golden Isles, then check with the folks at Dublin 441 Speedway! Lots of folks in South and Middle Georgia would make there way to see Super Late Models do their thang! JMO

**garacefan11** · 07-12-2012, 02:08 PM

I think we could swing a fast qualifier bonus!

**SlidinDirty** · 07-12-2012, 02:21 PM

How about bringing the tour up to Southern Kentucky and go to Lake Cumberland?

**dirtcrazee** · 07-12-2012, 06:52 PM

Toccoa!!!!!

**mf0521** · 07-12-2012, 11:13 PM

Or Ponderosa. I'd take either one.

**pixman** · 07-13-2012, 08:38 AM

Chatsworth, GA ladies and gentlemen.

**smart_pig_motorsports** · 07-13-2012, 09:43 AM

run back to back at Smokey Mountain, that gives the teams a full day to go all the way to South Georgia and may get more teams to make the trip south with an extra day to do it.
That's the quickest fix if they want to keep that Thursday race date alive.
Too bad we couldn't get that race at Dixie or even a Thursday night Rome race.
