 Deep South Speedway
will be running Super Late Models this weekend for $2,000 to win, but the
schedule does include the regular classes: GM Performance Crate Late Models,
Limited Sportsman, Super Hobby, Hobby Stock, Stinger and Vintage. Remember, the racing program will begin later
than usual (7:00 p.m.) because of the heating of the day on the track surface.
Temperatures are forecast to be in the 80’s and should be a great night for
racing. Pit admission is $30 for adults, $10 for kids 6-12, and 5 and under
free with paying adult. Grandstand admission is $15 for adults and $5 for kids
6-12 and 5 and under free with adult. Also, don’t forget to ask about your
senior citizen discounts and military discounts.

Helmet Up For Bid for Cystic Fibrosis… |
|
Tuesday, 06 May 2008 |
|
 Deep South Speedway is
continuing efforts to raise awareness and funds for the Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation of Alabama through the offering of a special bid opportunity. One
hundred percent of the proceeds from the special helmet will be given to the CF
Foundation.
The idea came from Stacy
Tatum, general manager for Camping World’s Robertsdale store, who was getting
ready to take her first trip to Talladega for the race. She wanted to do
something from the local Camping World location so she suggested taking a
helmet and get as many NASAR drivers to sign it as possible, and then let
people bid on it. Morris Bye, owner of Hi-Rev Speed Equipment in Theodore, was
first to lend assistance by donating a new helmet and tote bag for the effort.
“I think it is a great thing
to use this sport we are in to help raise awareness and money for the CF
folks…I know they really appreciate it,” Bye said as he delivered the helmet.
Stacy was excited to be able to contribute her time to the cause as well,
adding “I just thought that since I was going to be around a lot of NASCAR
drivers like Kevin Harvick and Cale Gale, that it would be a good thing for us
to do from Camping World, but also a good thing for the drivers to do as well.”

The rules for the Super Late Model race will be the Mississippi State Championship Challenge Series (MSCCS) rules for car tech. The Super Late Models will qualify for positions in heat race lineups and heat race finishing order will determine the feature lineup.  There will be a $100 entry fee per late model with $175 to start the feature. Admission to the grandstand area is $15 for adults, $5 for kids 6-12 years old and 5 and under free with adult.

Mother nature reigns supreme! |
|
Saturday, 03 May 2008 |
 Mother nature reigns supreme this weekend. With two feet of water in the infield, owner Bill Webb says, "There is no way we can dry this surface out enough today to get this track ready for tonight. We've battled several rainy days in the past month or so and have pulled off some outstanding races, but alot of rain has already been dropped and there are no signs of it letting up for a while." The regular season racing program slated for tonight has been postponed and will continue next weekend May 10th, when the Super Late Models storm the Gulf Coast! Check the calendar for details and keep checking back for news and updates!
