SOUTHERN ALL STAR DIRT RACING SERIES PR#39   

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series Gobbler Set For Cleveland Speedway

FAYETTEVILLE, TN-The Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series Gobbler 50 will conclude the 2014 Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series Friday night November 21^st at the Cleveland Speedway in Cleveland, TN., and will pay $5,000 to the winner of the super late model event.

Cleveland Speedway’s future was uncertain at the beginning of the season and the racing community did not know if Cleveland Speedway would even be in operation as it had filed bankruptcy and it’s future looked bleak, but local area businessmen bought the track at auction and done major repairs to the facility to get in back in shape to open up and they have raced since the middle of September and will conclude the 2014 season with the Southern All Stars as it has done for  the past over 24 Gobbler races at the speedway.  Of the 24 Gobblers ran at Cleveland Speedway and current Boyds Speedway promoter Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, GA., has won the most Gobbler events at 4, Ronnie Johnson of Chattanooga, TN., 3 wins, Shane Clanton of Zebulon, GA., has 2 wins and single race winners of the event include Jake Knowles of Tyrone, GA., Randy Weaver, Ray Cook, Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, GA., Chris Madden of Gray Court, SC., Clint Smith, Scott Sexton of Pigeon Forge, TN., Skip Arp,  Patrick Duggan of Lenoir City, TN., John Jones of Rock Springs, GA., Danny Peoples of Margaret, AL., Don O’Neal of Martinsville, IN., Frank Ingram of Acworth, GA., Rex Richey of Ringgold, GA., and Lamar Lowry of Georgetown, TN.

Riley Hickman of Cleveland, TN., will be heading the Southern All Star drivers coming into the event as he will clinch his second straight series title in 2014 as he currently has two wins with the series, but he did have several challenges during the year and mostly from another local Chattanooga are driver Todd Morrow of East Ridge, TN., who has captured three wins this year and is second in points, Chris Wilson of Crossville, TN., will be crowned the Cruise with the Champions/DirtonDirt Rookie of the Year, who late in the season made a strong move to get into the top three from the fifth spot and could take over second if he outruns Morrow. Josh Putnam of Florence, AL., is currently fourth in series points and still has shot at third with a good run, but he will need to keep Dylan Ames of Harvest, AL., behind him to stay in fourth as Ames is only two points out of fourth place, so the battle in the final series point as far as a champion maybe settled but second through fifth is basically up for grabs on the final night of racing.

Drivers that are also expected to be in action include Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC., Randy Weaver of Crossville, TN, Tom Maddox of Centre, AL., Josh Adkins of Talladega, AL., Nick Latham Winchester, OH., Jason Welshan of Maryville, TN., David Seibers of Petersburg, TN., Aaron Ridley of Chatsworth, GA., Donald McIntosh of Cumming, GA., Skip Arp of Georgetown, TN., Clint Smith of Senoia, GA., David Payne Murphy, NC., plus man many more winner.

Local racing action will also include Steel Head Late Models, Crate Late Models; A & B Hobby will also be in action.  Pit gates will open at 4 pm with drivers meeting set for 6:30 pm and hot laps will be at 7pm.  Times may also be adjusted later in the week due to weather conditions as the event get closer.
