ULTIMATE Supers Head to Modoc Raceway for $6022 to win Jack Starrette Memorial
Carnesville, Georgia (April 11, 2016) - The ULTIMATE Super Late Models will head down to Modoc Raceway in Modoc, South Carolina for the 5th Annual Jack Starrette Memorial. The 50-lap event pays tribute to one of the Southeast’s most well-known and beloved dirt racing benefactors. Jack Starrette, through his Augusta, Georgia businesses Starrette Trucking and Starrette Specialized Hauling, owned and sponsored numerous dirt late models until his untimely death in 2010. Starrette sponsored many of the most successful drivers in the area including Casey Roberts, Brandon Overton, Mike Duvall, Ricky Weeks, Jeff Smith, Jack Pennington, Buckshot Miles, Randle Chupp, Mike Head, Phillip Seifert, Jon Henderson, Ricky Elliott, Jeremy Clements, 2-time Jack Starrette Memorial winner Dennis “Rambo†Franklin and defending event winner Chris Ferguson among others.
Starrette was close personal friends with fellow Augusta-area business owners Jimmy and Ann Cushman who also now own Modoc Raceway. The Cushman’s have entrusted the sanctioning of this very special event to the ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series. “We want to thank promoter Bryan Stewart and Mr. and Mrs. Cushman for asking us to be a part of Mr. Jack’s race. We are very happy to be able to honor him with this race. Jack did so much for so many racers over his lifetime. Many of those guys will be at Modoc to race in his honor. The list of drivers that he helped is just endless. He just loved dirt racing and I hope that we can continue to help to honor him with this race. He deserves this and so much more. We are proud to be a small part of it.†said ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series Director Kelley Carlton.
