Congratulations to Clay and Stephanie Jones. This week they had the birth of their baby girl. Clay is the son of Beech Bend Raceway Park owners Dallas and Alfreda Jones.  Most of you know Clay and Stephanie as they both work all over Beech Bend Park.  But most know them from the race tracks.

I was out at Beech Bend Raceway Park today.  I saw some hot rods take to the drag strip. If you like hot rods, bad engines, and the smell of fuel, then be sure to head to Beech Bend Raceway Park this weekend.

Can Anyone Help Us Out?

I have been asked about Late Model driver #12 Sammy Sanders. What is up with Sammy? Is he going to race at Beech Bend this year? Is he building a new car? What is the scoop on Sammy Sanders? HELP!!!

Big Story of the Week.

As the races were over and the drivers were leaving the pits, a driver stopped me and told me this.  He said he would not be back to Beech Bend Raceway. Apparently some of the drivers got mad at him. I think you front Runner drivers need to post on here and ask him to come on back. If you use your car to take him out you are just a sore loser in my opinion. This is why we don't have car count now, or in part why we don't have more cars. Be a good sportsman and have fun racing. The driver is #23 Tommy Hoover. Tommy hope you change your mind.
