POSTED 4-10-10 LOCAL RACING NEWS AND RUMORS BY ODELL HARD CHARGER AWARD FOR 4-9-10

This week my choice for the "HARD CHARGER AWARD" goes to late model driver Davey Coble #14.  Davey started third, moved to second was in a spin and goes to fourth then back to third when another spin brings out the yellow with Davey not being a part of.  With those two cars going to the rear, Davey goes to first and holds off top gun Sammy Sanders #12 to take the win.  Congratulations to Davey Coble #14 of Nashville, TN.

POSTED 4-8-10 THE HORSEPOWER RACIN' HOUR UPDATE

Hey,
The Horsepower Racin' Hour starts tonight at 7 on 93.3 WDNS, or you can listen at WDNSFM.COM Tonight's guests are Bill Tichenor from Holley Performance, and Cheryl Embry from Soggy Bottom Speedway. Soggy Bottom is having a car show and test on Saturday, sounds like a lot of fun.
We just found out that we'll be going to Buffalo Wild Wings on the last Thursday of every month for the show, and they are going to do a wing special on that night. I REALLY REALLY need the stock car guys to come out there. If you do you can eat cheap and we'll try to let you on the air for minute or two to thank your sponsors or ask questions.
Thanks to BW3's and their crew for making it happen.
See you at the races!
Smokin' Joe

All the fans that was at Beech Bend Raceway last night got to see a new Modified Street car.  A big welcome goes out to new driver #x15 Van Washer of Butler County.  Van shown here in this photo spins out in turn three.  Van will be a rookie at Beech Bend Raceway on the asphalt but Van is in no way a rookie.  He is a dirt track racer.  To see more of this car and Tuesday night at BBR go to www.photobyodell.photoreflect.com  Good luck, Van!

POSTED 4-7-10 DENNIS WHITE HAS NEW LATE MODEL AT THE TRACK TUESDAY NIGHT!

 Photo courtesy of PBO Media Productions

In this photo you can see the new late model #3 of Dennis White.  Dennis had his black #3 Chevy Monte Carlo at Beech Bend Raceway last night (Tuesday 4-6-10) to shake it down for Friday night races.  As you can see the shake down didn't go as planned or did it?  You say what Odell?  Yes, maybe the shake down did go as planned.  Let me explain.  This is why Dallas Jones of Beech Bend has opened up the Beaver Fun night on Tuesday.  Let's say that Dennis could not have tested his car then on Friday night during the race the mechanical problem had happen.  We would or could have seen more damage to a lot of cars.  Oh, by the way Dennis was not driving his car when this happen.  Sammy Sanders a good friend of Dennis and driver of the #12 Chevy late model was the driver.  Sammy had made few laps and then coming down the back straight away goes off into turn three and finds he has big problems.  Was it no steering, no brakes, locked up brakes?  I don't know and neither did Sammy at the time.  However, has the two teams put their heads together I'm sure they will find the problem.  The million dollar question is can/will they get this car back together for this Friday night?  I hope so, because for one, Dennis is a super great guy and we (Beech Bend) needs the car count.  Good luck men!  NOTE: To see more photo's of this wreck and Tuesday night go to www.photosbyodell.photoreflect.com

POSTED 4-1-10 JUST 30 DAYS UNTIL THE AMUSEMENT PARK OPENS AT BEECH BEND PARK

Wow, we've been busy.  The new water park is really taking shape.  The picture to the left shows the "fork in the road" section of the river.  The right side will be a calm and dry route, the left side will be wet and wild.  There are many water elements coming soon to make sure you get wet if you choose this path!

 

The second picture looks toward the wave pool building.  That big concrete structure is where the water is blasted from to make the waves.  Those pick-up trucks would be under water!  The crews are working diligently to get the new attractions open by Memorial Day Weekend.  The Tiki Island section will be started next week - the slide structure components have started arriving and the pool will be poured next week.
