Due to the questionable weather, Highland Rim Speedway Management has decided to cancel the races for today. Armbands and tickets from Saturday July 4th’s race will be honored on 7/11. The Sportsman 50 lap race will be held on 7/11 plus racing in 8 other divisions! It will be a full night of racing! Tickets will be $10 for the grandstands, but for those living in East Nashville (37206, 37207 & 37216), show your drivers license and get free grandstand admission!!
Below is the recap of the action before the rain won the race…
July 4, 2009 -- Highland Rim Speedway celebrated Independence Day all day long on Saturday. Seven cars and trucks participated in the Greenbrier July 4th Parade Saturday morning. The parade went through the heart of Greenbrier. Sportsman Driver, Jonathan Wilhite, Super Stock Driver, Willie Coats, Front Wheel Drive Mod Driver, Tim Jacobs, Challenger Drivers, Terry Conn and Toby Tobitt, and Pro Truck Drivers, Chuck Adcock and Buddy Williams all brought their racecars and trucks out for the event. Threatening weather loomed all around most of the afternoon, but die hard Rim fans came out to cheer on their favorite drivers! But rains washed out the Rockin’ and Racin’ Extravaganza Saturday night at Highland Rim Speedway. The Front Wheel Drive Modifieds were the only class to complete their race before the rains came. The race ran caution free, though there were several near misses. Kevin Gregory nosed out into the lead early in the race with Harold Cole and Sam Arnold right in his tire tracks. Jerry Nuckols and David Frost had some great side by side racing for four laps before Nuckols completed the pass and looked towards the front. Nuckols challenged his teammate, Cole the next lap for third taking the spot and then the Gregory’s lead the next lap. Points Leader, Scott Conner and Chris Allen bounced off each other on lap ten. Allen got out of sorts but was able to gather it back up without loosing much ground. With just two laps to go, Gregory and Frost got together. Frost did some fancy driving to save his car and continue on. The checkers flew for Nuckols who finished several car lengths ahead of second place Conner. Third place went to Allen.
The Rim Runners got to start their race, but the rains washed things out. Chris York jumped out to the lead on the first lap with Donold Webb all over him in second. Webb made his move on lap three challenging for the lead as Paul Lambert and Bevin Wilson worked on each other for third. The top four ran two by two for five laps before they got crossed up coming down the front stretch. Rain came before the track could be cleared. Since the race hadn’t made it to half way, the race was not official and will be started over fresh next week.
Racing continues next Saturday night at the Rim with 9 spine tingling classes of cars and trucks competing for over 200 laps of high banked racing excitement highlighted by an always exciting 50 lap Sportsman Race! East Nashville residents (37206, 37207 & 37216) residents can show their driver’s license and get into the grandstands absolutely FREE!!!! Make plans now to see what’s new at the Rim! Grandstand Admission is $10, Youth 6-11 is $5, Children 5 & Under are free with a paid adult. Pit Admission is $25. Racing starts at 6:00 pm. Pit gates open at 1:00 pm, grandstands at 3:00 pm. Qualifying at 4:30 pm. Highland Rim Speedway is a high banked 1/3 mile asphalt track competing weekly from March through October. For more information check the website www.highlandrim.com.
