Southern All Stars
Tonight’s Brad York Memorial Postponed to Friday, August 29 Due to Impending Weather
(LAVONIA, GEORGIA) With the probability of late afternoon showers and thunderstorms developing and another round coming in later this evening, tonight’s Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series presented by Franklin Enterprises contest at Lavonia Speedway has been postponed. The ‘Brad York Memorial’ at the Lavonia, Georgia facility has been rescheduled for Friday night, August 29 and will pay $4,004 to win - honoring Brad’s #4 car. More details on this Labor Day weekend event will be made available as the race nears.
The August 29 date was available to Lavonia after 191 Speedway in Campton, Kentucky was recently removed from the Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series schedule for August 29-30. The SAS staff is actively working to find a replacement track for Saturday, August 30 before the series wraps up Labor Day weekend at the bad-fast Tazewell Speedway in Tazewell, Tennessee on Sunday, August 31. In addition, the Friday, August 22 date at Ponderosa Speedway in Junction City, Kentucky has been removed from the series schedule and will be replaced by another venue.
Next up for the Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series will be a doubleheader in the state of Georgia on June 20-21. Next Friday night, a $4,000 top prize will be up for grabs at North Georgia Speedway in Chatsworth, Georgia. The dirt slinging action will quickly shift to Sugar Creek Raceway in Blue Ridge, Georgia next Saturday evening, as a $5,000 top prize awaits the winner. Billy Franklin will bring an 82 point lead into the Peach State double-dip, while his son Kendall Franklin, Hall of Famer Ronnie Johnson, Joe Denby, and Michael Luna round out the top five in series points.
