Page Celebrates Another Senoia Raceway All-Stars Victory

(Senoia, GA – May 19, 2019) Michael Page of Winston has found the right combination of speed, skill and sometimes luck to create a dominant presence at Senoia Raceway’s tough 3/8ths mile race track. Page took advantage of the misfortunes of others to take home his third straight Southern All-Stars Dirt Late Model Tour victory at Senoia Raceway and then doubled up the victories with a win in the Crate Late Model main event as well.
“It just feels good to win,” said an emotionally drained Page after his Southern All-Stars victory. “There are just so many people that help me. It feels good to get the win for them.”
Page was not the only driver to visit the winner’s circle on a night that saw 125 race teams pack the pit area for competition. Locust Grove’s Jason Williams won the Late Model Sportsman feature while Alabama’s Jake Sanders took home the glory in the Hobby race. Brooks’ Curtis Turner won his third feature this season in the Bombers and Mississippi’s Tony Coffman made his long journey pay off with a winning run in the Mini Stock special event.
The Southern All-Stars Tour made it’s first trip to the ‘South’s Baddest Bull Ring” this season and the longest continuous running dirt late model tour in the nation did not disappoint the fans of Senoia Raceway. The tour featured more race teams than many other tours and specials that were scheduled in the region on Saturday night.
Local hot shoes and past champions of the Southern All-Star Tour, Austin Horton of Whitesburg and Clint Smith of Senoia, showed early they would be the class of the field with the fastest qualifying efforts. The duo would lead the field to green for the 40-lap $4000 to win race and would build a huge lead over the field within the first eight laps.
As Horton approached the back of the field, he prepared to move past JR Moseley of Columbus. Moseley made a quick move that Horton was not expecting and the two collided with the then leader Horton getting the worst end of the deal. Horton ended up stalled in turn three where the second place driver Smith could get out of the way fast enough and slid into Horton causing heavy damage to two of the strongest competitors of the night. Both of the drivers and teams thrashed on their cars for several minutes while the clean-up on the track took place, but neither would be able to make the necessary repairs to return to the track.
“I appreciate the lapped cars that can hold there lines,” said an irritated Horton following the event. “I hated the way ended for our team. We will be back, hate that it collected the 44. This is all I have to say on it.”
That turned the lead over to Page and he did what he had to do the rest of the way. The veteran used the top side of the race track to build on his lead over Cartersville’s Zach Leonhardi through the middle laps of the race and then sliced his way through the lapped cars keeping Leonahrdi and others at a safe distance.
Leonhardi would lose his second place spot to Riley Hickman over the final ten laps of the race while Page cruised the victory. It was Page’s third straight tour win at Senoia Raceway which includes last year’s May race date, the Michael Head, Jr. Memorial race last June and this win. Page will have a shot at four straight and a second consecutive Head Memorial victory when the series returns on June 22nd.
Shortly after completing his victory lane interview, Page hopped back into a race car starting on the front row of the Crate Late Model race with Alabama fast timer Cruz Skinner. Page picked up right where he left off in the All-Star race running the top side of the track and getting into the lead position. He motored into a near straightaway length lead over Skinner and was never seriously challenged. He would win his second of the night ahead of Skinner while another Alabama driver, Dylan Knowles, came home in third. Winston birthday boy, Marty Massey, was fourth followed by Franklin’s Tanner Collins in fifth.
A crash-filled feature in the Late Model Sportsman marred a race that was filled with just as much great racing action. Drivers raced for positions in the middle of the pack side by side and a few times three wide. It was a mad scramble at times with the drivers in fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth place.
“That is why going to the races is so much fun,” said track promoter Mayes Massey. “The action is not always at the front of the race like you see on television or facebook live feeds. That coverage is so one dimensional and does not offer the full show and what you get when you are here in person.”
Former Senoia Raceway champion Jason ‘Tin Man’ Williams showed he has not lost his touch as he won going away over Locust Grove’s Billy Stevenson. Baldwin teenager Parris Simmons made a late race charge to gain third place, but had it stripped from him when he crossed the post race scales too light. That moved Byron’s Wiley McDaniel to third place.
“Dune Buggy” Dustin Smith led the first couple of laps in the Bomber main event before Curtis Turner moved past on the inside of turn two. Turner then held off Brandon McDaniel of Byron with Smith fading to third. Turner and McDaniel had split evenly the victories in the first four races of the season.
After over a month of no racing action at Senoia Raceway, the track will again take a week off as it observes Memorial Day weekend. The racing action will crank back up on Saturday, June 1st with the first ever appearance of the National Late Model Super Car Series. Drivers from Alabama and Florida are expected to take on the locals for the expanded pay day special. The Crate Late Models, Late Model Sportsman, Bomber, Hot Shots and Chargers will also compete with the Chargers running a pair of features due to the class not running Saturday night because of the county enforced curfew. There will also be a Kids Candy Scramble on June 1st.

Fifteen-Year-Old McKenna Nelms Nabs First Senoia Raceway Victory
Submitted by Ted Austad

(Senoia, GA – April 14, 2019) The opening round of the season points chase at Senoia Raceway was action packed with great racing in all divisions and featured a young lady from Newnan collecting her first career win in the tough Late Model Sportsman division. Fifteen-year-old high schooler McKenna Nelms held off a strong challenge through the late stages of the main event Saturday night to win her first race of the new season.
Other winners at the Season Points Opener included Whitesburg’s Austin Horton in the Limited Late Models, Senoia’s Bubba Pollard in the Crate Late Models, Landon DeGraff of Barnesville in the Hobby, Brooks’ Curtis Turner in Bomber and Brandon Bright of Newnan in the Chargers.
The youngster Nelms jumped to the early lead against former two-time track champion Joey Armistead of Senoia after a side by side race for the top spot. Armistead faded as his car slid around on the slick gumbo surface. Chatsworth’s Lance Harris moved up as did Alabama’s Buddy George and McDonough’s Jason Turner.
Near the midway point of the exciting feature, George and Turner engaged in a bumping battle. The two swapped paint a couple of times before the slammed one another in turn two. The result was Turner spinning in front of the field collecting several drivers that had nowhere to go.
Another crash a few laps later saw Covington’s Sam ‘Bam’ Carter clobber the back stretch wall before coming to rest in near the exit gate to the back pit area. Everyone was able to avoid contact with Carter after his scary crash.
The final dash to the checkers saw Nelms hold down the middle line of the speedway while George tried the high side. Nelms held steady as George clipped the concrete outside turn one on the final lap. The little mistake was that Nelms needed as she sped away to victory lane. George was able to still cross the line in second ahead of Harris, Newnan’s Parrish Duncan and Turner.
In the Crate Late Model feature, asphalt late model racing stand-out Bubba Pollard showed he can wheel a race car on any surface. The grandson of Senoia Raceway founder and builder Hence Pollard powered out to the lead after a two lap side by side battle with defending Crate Late Model points champion Marty Massey of Winston.
Once in the lead, Pollard pushed the gap between he and all other competitors while Massey had his hands full with a classic Senoia Raceway battle with Eastonollee’s Matthew Wyatt. Those two raced hard for several laps before Wyatt finally wrestled away the second place position.
Pollard coasted to the win with Wyatt finishing a strong second. Massey crossed the finish line in third just as his fan blade broke tearing apart his radiator. Senoia’s Tina Johnson continued her strong start to the season finishing in fourth while McDonough’s Josh Copeland rounded out the top five. Copeland was the race’s hard charger as he climbed from the fourteenth starting position to garner a top five.
Brooks’ Curtis Turner also started in the back of the pack for the Bomber race. The veteran driver worked through the field before taking over the lead from Senoia’s Dustin ‘Dune Buggy’ Smith on lap six. Turner never looked back posting the win over Smith and Vern Miller of Newnan.
Austin Horton won the early race tussle with four-time track champion Clint ‘Cat Daddy’ Smith in the first round of points racing in the Limited Late Models. The two former champions of the travelling Southern All-Star Super Late Model Tour worked each other for a few laps before Horton finally was able to secure the top spot.
Cartersville’s Jacques Daniel, Alabama’s Dillon Crim and another former track champion Matt Dooley of Brooks brought the fans to their feet early on racing three wide for position. Daniel was able to complete the pass leaving Dooley and Crim to race. Dooley held off Crim over the final stages of the race as Crim faded late after his tires heated up and lost grip.
Horton won for the second straight week of competition. Smith was second ahead of Daniel. Dooley was fourth and Newnan’s Rucker Orr raced up to finish in the top five.
This weekend (Saturday, April 20) the track will host the Monster Truck Spring Nationals featuring monster truck favorites War Wizard, Black Stallion, Overkill Evolution, Venom and Twisted Addiction. The trucks will compete in races, wheelie contests and everyone’s favorite ‘freestyle’ where they have two minutes to crash and smash their way into the nightly title. Last August, War Wizard was victorious after launching high into the air off a dirt ramp and snagging the power line that fed the track lighting system.
“It was literally the night the lights went out in Georgia,” said track promoter Mayes Massey. “The crowd went wild!”
The event will also feature stock car racing in the Crate Late Models, Late Model Sportsman and Chargers divisions. There will be an old-fashioned demolition derby, kids Easter Egg Hunt and the first ever Easter Egg Lotto for the adult spectators.
The pit area will open early this Saturday for fans to access the trackside parking spaces. Pits will open at 2pm. The grandstand will open at 3pm and reserved seating is available. All of the Monster Truck action begins at 7pm.
Tickets are $20; kids 5-12 are $10 with four and under admitted for free. Reserved seating (all ages) is $30 and will be available at the gate or by calling the track office at 770.599.6161.
Pit passes and Trackside Parking tickets are $30; kids 5-12 are $20 and four and under are free.

(Senoia, GA – April 7, 2019) Whitesburg’s Austin Horton decided to stay closer to home this weekend to compete and it paid off as the former champion of the travelling Southern All-Star Series captured the K-Mac Electric special for the Limited Late Models at Senoia Raceway. Horton pocketed the $1000 top prize by holding off Stapleton hot shoe Travis Pennington for the win on a night that featured free tickets to all children under the age of twelve.
“We want families to be able to enjoy our sport,” said Mayes Massey, promoter of the 3/8ths mile race track just west of Senoia. “Offering free tickets once in a while allows for those with young kids and tight income to come to the races and have some fun. We will do this a few times this summer, too.”
