Westville, Oklahoma (10/06/15) – Jason Hughes continued his red-hot pace in his West Siloam Pawn #12 Hughes Race Car over the weekend by claiming wins in two of the three rounds at the 3rd Annual Sooner Showdown.

On Friday night the 9th starting Hughes rocketed through the field to bring home his 12th win of the season in the $2,000-to-win feature. The Oklahoma driver gained eight spots in the A-Main to score the victory with Thomas Tillison Jr. and Rodney Sanders completing the top three.

“Salina (Highbanks Speedway) is one of my favorite tracks, and it’s always a blast to race there,” commented Hughes. “This hot rod just keeps performing each and every night. We really have things rolling right now, and I can’t wait for the next race.”

Kyle Beard Tops Gumbo Nationals Modified Finale; Mag State 100 Next

Trumann, Arkansas (10/06/15) – Kyle Beard raced to his sixteenth victory of the season over the weekend with a $1,500 triumph in the 9th Annual Gumbo Nationals in the Shawn Mann Motorsports #86 GRT Modified.

The team traveled south to Greenville Speedway (Greenville, Mississippi) over the weekend for the 9th Annual Gumbo Nationals, where Kyle competed in both the Super Late Model and Modified divisions.

In the Super Late Model ranks Kyle went out late in his group for qualifying on Friday evening, and by that time the track had slowed significantly. As a result he was forced to start deep in his heat race grid. He would fall short of racing his way into a transfer spot, and as a result had to run a b-main on Saturday. In the b-main he ran as high as the 2nd spot for a majority of the race before getting shuffled to a 4th place finish coming to the checkered flag. With only the top three finishers transferring to the feature, his outing came to a disappointing, early end.

Modified competition would treat Beard far better. With thirty-three entries registered for competition, Kyle won his heat race from the 5th starting spot on Friday night to earn the pole for Saturday's $1,500-to-win finale. He grabbed the lead at the drop of the green flag. Beard led early before slipping back to the 2nd spot. He would regain the lead late in the feature and went on to score the victory. Caleb Shown, Chris Moore, Keith Hammett, and Troy Dow completed the top five finishers. He now has sixteen wins this season.

“We were disappointed to miss the Super Late Model feature because we had a really good car, but it felt good to get redemption in the Modified class,” said Beard. “I want to thank Shawn Mann and all of my great sponsors for their support.”

Full results from the event are available at www.GreenvilleSpeedway.net .

Next on tap for the team is a trip this weekend, October 9th-10th, to Magnolia Motor Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi) for the annual Magnolia State Cotton Pickin 100. The program will be headlined by a $20,000-to-win/ $1,200-to-start finale. For more information on the event, please visit www.MagnoliaDirt.com .
