Dillon Wood Finishes Sixth in WoO Action at Smoky Mountain

Daytona Beach, Florida (05/01/13) – Dillon Wood took his #1w Keyser Manufacturing/Gotta Race/Rocket/Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model into battle last weekend with the World of Outlaws (WoO), and it was another up-and-down weekend for the 22-year-old competitor.

Dillon Wood resumed action with the World of Outlaws (WoO) Super Late Model tour on Friday evening as he entered a $10,000-to-win event at Smoky Mountain Speedway (Maryville, Tennessee).

With thirty-five entries in the pits Dillon piloted his #1w Keyser Manufacturing/ Gotta Race/Rocket/Clements Racing Engine/ Super Late Model to a second place finish in his heat race to lock into the redraw for the feature. In the redraw he was the recipient of the pole starting spot for the 50 lap finale with Shane Clanton joining him on the front row. Clanton grabbed the lead at the drop of the green flag as Wood battled throughout the top five throughout the event. When the checkered flag dropped on the event, Wood finished sixth behind race winner, Shane Clanton, Steve Casebolt, Jimmy Owens, Josh Richards, and Billy Ogle Jr. The finish matched his best career performance with the tour. Dillon also received the Rookie of the Race bonus for being the highest finishing rookie contender.

With Saturday night's WoO event at Tazewell Speedway (Tazewell, Tennessee) falling victim to Mother Nature, Dillon Wood traveled to Duck River Raceway Park (Wheel, Tennessee) on Sunday evening.

The night started on a great note as Dillon registered the second fastest time in the thirty car field in time trials, and went on to finish second in his heat race to lock into the redraw for the feature. In the redraw Wood received the sixth starting spot, and as the 50 lap finale went green Dillon began working his way forward. By lap 34 he had raced his way into the second spot, but bad luck struck on lap 36, when transmission issues forced him to retire from the race to a disappointing fifteenth place finish.

"The run at Smoky Mountain was a great one for us, and I really think we had a chance to win at Duck River before the mechanical failure," comments Wood. "As down as we were after the Duck River deal, at least we know that we are already putting ourselves in contention for a win with the WoO tour, and that's a really good feeling."

Wood is currently thirteenth in the latest series standings and third in the rookie battle. Full event results from the event are available at www.WoOLMS.com .

This weekend, May 3rd-4th, Dillon Wood will resume action with the WoO Super Late Model Series with a pair of $10,000-to-win events in Georgia. Action begins on Friday night at Lavonia Speedway (Lavonia, Georgia) before concluding on Saturday evening at Swainsboro Raceway (Swainsboro, Georgia). For more information on the events, please visit www.WoOLMS.com .

Dillon Wood would like to thank all of his sponsors including Keyser Manufacturing, Integra Shocks and Springs, GottaRace.com, Rocket Chassis, Clements Racing Engine, GW Performance, All Star Graphix, Derek Gahring Enterprises, Hoosier Race Tires, and MSRMafia.com Marketing Services..

William Thomas Wins $2,500 at GVS; TST Up Next

Phenix City, Alabama (05/01/13) - It was an up and down weekend for William Thomas as he participated in a trio of events in Alabama and Georgia.

The weekend started at Green Valley Speedway (Glencoe, Alabama) with the Crate and Limited Late Model Nationals, which was slated to feature $2,500-to-win programs for each division each night.  On Friday evening William started his night by powering his #22 Thomas Motorsports Mastersbilt Limited Late Model to fast time honors over with a lap that was a half second faster than the twenty-two car field to lock into the pole position for the feature.  The initial start would see sparks fly as Thomas and fellow front row starter, Kenny Compton made contact exiting turn two as the duo spun and collected several other cars.  Luckily William would be able to continue despite body damage and a broken, left-rear shock, and the field lined up for a complete restart with Thomas on the pole.  He would go on to snag the lead as the race successfully started.  Once out front he never looked back on his way to the win, which came over Joe Armistead, Heath Hindman, Gar Dixon, and TJ Alford.

In the Crate Late Model division Thomas again qualified fastest in the twenty-four car field to earn the pole for the feature in his #A19 GRT entry.  He led the majority of the feature before a flat tire on a late-race restart relegated him to a disappointing seventeenth place finish.  Full results from both divisions are available at www.GreenValleySpeedway.com .

Saturday night's portion of the program at Green Valley Speedway fell victim to Mother Nature, and as a result William returned home and entered a NeSmith Weekly Late Model Series event at East Alabama Motor Speedway (Phenix City, Alabama), where he finished in the second spot in the feature behind race winner, Montana Dudley.  Full results from the event are available at www.EAMSDirt.com .

"It was a wild weekend for sure," notes Thomas.  "I really felt like we should've left Green Valley with two wins, but that flat tire just bit us.  Either way we had a great car in both divisions."

This Saturday, May 4th William Thomas will invade Talladega Short Track (Eastaboga, Alabama) for a $4,000-to-win, Southern All Star (SAS) Super Late Model event at the 1/3 mile oval.  For more information on the program please visit www.SASDirt.com .
