down at it most Saturday nights and weekends and such man I tell you what Lenny I mean right now the track is looking pretty good uh Jason Smoot and Bill link of course the track prep crew here throughout the week and they do an excellent job and I mean it it looks good to me um you know we’re just getting it rolled in uh you know trying to get another Groove over here in turn three it looks like but Jason smoo who runs the Blue Ridge Outlaw late models and the southern wedge late models the Vintage shows and stuff it’s neat to watch him on Facebook because if you you’ll wake up in the morning you go to your Facebook and typically he’s been on a tractor somewhere while you were asleep here at ultimate Motorsports in RV park getting the work done exactly and and sometimes not even here he goes and helps other people and helps them out and gives them some tips and pointers and they they call him the Dirt Doctor around here yep a dirt doctor for sure and and just a great guy that

in on social media wherever you’re at if you uh haven’t seen who is here certainly uh you know you would understand uh that Brandon overin would be here Chris Ferguson Scott Bloomquist uh many of our hunt the front super dirt series regulars but we’ve also benefited tonight from having Jimmy Owens we have Carson Ferguson who is back uh joining us gra Haron and Luke Mory that’s some of them and then you know Christian Thomas a a widely known uh modified driver and now late model driver here in the Carolina Jameson McBride who uh set the track record what what was it last month Jack were you here for that it was two weeks ago Burning It Up wasn’t he two weeks ago that’s correct you know amazing stuff there John Henderson from Akin South Carolina is with us bad boy David McCoy get to watch him race hadn’t done that in a while and The Rock Hill bad boy Ben Watkins going to trying to destroy another series that comes in his area that’s right man and and one of the coolest names too I mean the Rock Hill bad boy I mean come on how how could how could you just not get behind that no like Willie milikin is here Joey Colter askar guy here so I do have to say real quick Lenny um you you mentioned One driver and I’d like to talk about him for just a quick second Luke my um I watched Luke’s first race around the Carolinas in a modified and I’ve watched his progression in his first couple races in the modified and then stepped into the super late model and man I tell you what watch out for this cat he’s coming I think he found his his place yeah he’s coming mhm Luke myy don’t forget that name guys no no good kid and um you know good good Mom Dad the whole deal and you can just tell he’s he’s got a little bit of swagger now going walking through the pit area he feels like this is is where he should be and I I think you know we’ll start seeing it tonight and probably by the time we’re back here next year we’ll be talking about him of winning somewhere and other things you can just kind of feel that that charge when you go around him most certainly most certainly and and like I said I mean just seeing his progression it I mean it’s he this kid’s going somewhere Lenny I I think so as well and we’re we’re so fortunate to have folks come and race with us on a regular basis on the hunt the front super dirt series but also the ability to welcome them as one or two race guests throughout uh this early part of the Season you know we’ve had four different winners and in our top five in points are five separate chassis manufacturers so it’s a wide openen series folks can come in they can give it a try see where they like it and then maybe you know get themselves already ready for next year if they want to go full-time with us or pick and choose a race along the season to come back and maybe uh you know find theirself in Victory Lane in our Arizona sports shirts Victory Lane and I do like that number four races four different winners that is that is some cool stuff right there you don’t have anybody dominating the series and it’s that’s what everybody likes to see yeah you get to see the different uh drivers and it and it’s not been all local based guys that have taken it it’s it’s been you know people that have have just I I was impressed with Joseph Joiner at the Altech racetrack now I know Joe Kelly the announcer down there had said that he had come and raced a couple of time some big races down there prior to it and done well but Joseph uh on a track that was certainly unique and challenging had it handled and overden and Ferguson and of course last week to be able to have have the reaper in in the house at Smoky Mountain all cool stuff and Smoky Mountain I went there for the first time yeah you did what the big steel block Ste steel Block band two weeks before hunt the front went there and man isn’t that a cool place it is yeah I mean that is that is a cool place right there um that that press Tower man I was impressed yeah I looks like an air traffic controller Tower or whatever know I was there for uh the uh one-of aind ndra or indl whatever whatever it was echelman and all of Kelly oh yeah yeah you know they they ran that series for a minute yeah but uh it was a cool race and still got a sweatshirt so not too bad so you know and and talking about Altech and Smoky Mountain and coming here and I believe you you raced at the short track at Talladega if I’m not mistaken we did y started the season out there so just the variety of racetracks you’ve been to already and they all race different and they all have a different race surface and they’re all configured different and and I think that’s what really makes a series you got to go you got to travel you got to put some miles on you got to challenge yourself with the the just the effort to get up and down the highway uh you know all of us uh you know packing the family up to go just about anywhere on a on a given weekend whether it’s a race or you know the lake or what have you and these race teams have to be ready to do that you know every couple of weeks or so and that that’s a grind it puts it to you it’s a test of man metal machine and and all and I think right now you know it’s testing them that’s where Champions are built MH yep you know uh what do they say pressure makes diamonds uh isn’t that what uh you know sketch says you know so uh pretty pretty neat to watch um track used to have pavement under the surface and um Coler cleared it up and took it out and such did that dra itic Le you know change things um well you know it did uh you can I don’t I don’t know if you can see at home where basically where the UK tires are set out uh we had a retaining wall all around the inside of the speedway and I mean bum Gardner’s dad used to hang on it in the car oh that was breathtaking I have I have a video I took a video down here in turn one and two and I was hanging like I could give these guys a high five as they came by just hugging that wall but anyway tell us more so of the inside wall you can see where it used to be they’ve widened it out M and we used to pit in the infield so they’ve moved that out as well and opened up the track entrance over here in turn two as you said they took up all the pavement from under the dirt so it’s got all brand new dirt and the dust Podge crew has been down here um working with Jason Smoot you know trying to get all this new dirt worked in and and doing the dust pod deal and all that good stuff so I mean yeah B Bobby ker man he’s he’s done a 100% turnaround it’s fantastic yeah it really is all back in and what we’re looking at while they’re doing track prep below above the grass those are fans parked in there with really one of the best uh views in all of Motorsports yeah that is the best seat in the house right there that’s our Tailgators and as you’ll see they wrap around from the entrance to turn three all the way back to the entrance to turn one so so where we’re looking is turn one kind of going to turn two the center of one and two right there and yeah those guys are just having a good time over there they got the barbecue grills and got the family and everybody’s camped out on the trucks and the truck beds and well great looking spots and and also Lenny I’d like to introduce you to our fire crew here at the speedway CC volunteer fire department oh yeah and they they’ve been over here for years and I I tell you what this crew something special about these guys right here is we’ve had a couple driver one of our 602 late model drivers that used to race with this Dalton Blackburn MH he took a car to these guys down to their station oh did that the jaws of death so when if if they knew knew what they had to do to get somebody out of a race car when the time is needed so these guys are on top of it right here that that is impressive and uh you know it’s good to see tracks uh work with their local safety folks and First Responders to be able to uh have you know the care that these drivers and Crews need because sometimes you’re back there and you know the crew guy May bust a uh a finger or what have you you know under those race cars it’s not it’s not a friendly Zone very much so and um you know may need more help uh than than they realize and good to have the safety folks here uh funnel cakes I I understand they a good thing here funnel cakes are a good thing here funnel cakes are a staple here at ultimate Motorsports Park I like funnel cakes I’m sorry who doesn’t like funnel cakes we me and my girlfriend went to the fair a couple weeks ago just to get a funnel cake like that’s the only reason we went to the fair just to get a funnel cake I I know uh you know we’re watching one and two but if you’re if you’re looking down there at one and2 and you’re on on Hunt thefront dotv as TR track prep is going on just to the right of turn one uh you know if they get those funnel cakes to the the breeze blowing the drivers’s under caution might be able to smell that for sure I’ve seen I’ve seen a couple of them over here after their race you know they’ve got they’ve got the driver’s suit pulled off they’ve got the tank top or the driver’s shirt their favorite driver’s shirt on and they’re over there standing in the funnel cake line I’ve I’ve had drivers tell me they can smell the butter from the popcorn machines at different tracks yeah and um you know it’s uh like man this cautions got to got to hurry up so I can go green and then get over and grab some popcorn or whatever and I would imagine where the funnel cake uh folks are maybe uh they might get a sweet tooth that they don’t even realize for sure and of course everybody at home’s going man I want a funnel cake right now but that’s okay um Joseph Joiner and the hunt the front uh YouTube crew are here and they they pulled in to uh see a lot of fans here wearing the the hunt front uh you know shirts and such that those guys have made so famous on YouTube and uh you know been able to be around uh Jesse and Joseph and Jonathan Joiner and just just what you’re seeing on uh on the YouTube is that’s them guys they’re way cool and I’ve heard our race fans for the past couple weeks they’ve come up to me and you know they’re talking about how excited they were to meet these guys I mean they’re they are celebrities in the dirt track racing world and they’re just as as humble and just appreciative as be course of course Jesse’s been winning over at Southern Raceway over in the panhandle of Florida too oh yeah yep little Gator bait’s been uh getting it done good for him good for him hacker cars starting to smooth things over as you are watching hunt front.top completed dirt draft hot laps and we’ll be getting uh set to go into other things in just a little while a little bit of track prep here from elen North Carolina just off of Interstate 77 what’s is it 85 is the um exit I think so actually Lenny I cannot tell you that I do not know the exit number it’s got the pirate place though it’s the pirate ship that’s if you passed the pirate ship you went too far yeah you went too far but there’s a restaurant that is like a pirate ship and that’s where you got to go and it’s actually I’ve seen in a magazine it’s one of the top 10 stakes in North Carolina oh my well that that’s good to know come to a race and get a steak exactly yeah so very very cool I know uh you know some friends that have have uh done both in many an evening coming up here and um always great and thank you folks uh if you are on social media out

altimate Motorsports and RV park that is correct 604 late models getting ready to roll on Speedway for their hotlap qualifying session and yes don’t burn the funnel cake at home I think supers are going to be next before your 04s oh yep we we’ll have the supers come out and then the 604s my mistake oh no we’re we’re up here having a good time like anyone else getting set Dalton Wilson big perm going to lead him out so wherever you are and you’re watching we have our first three getting set to come out onto the track qualifying and Joshua Joiner joining us back here and how about big perm cool to have him here fville North Carolina dropping in there all three are going to come in at once because you can see that short shoot and then they will self-park prep and not ideal to do it right before qualifying um so we’re going to these these first group uh these first three cars out we’re going to let them roll at a slow pace roll a lap or two here just so they can see it and see what was done um you never want to be the first cars out on a a fresh track so not a whole it wasn’t a whole lot of track prep nothing major um but just wanted to give them a a chance to see it and uh you know the other guys that are watching they have their crew guys watching going to watch these first laps um you know give them an idea what’s going on that’s a nice move um Travis Scott our race director

loose will dyes up in the SRI flag stand to throw the Gorsuch green flag and he does Dalton Wilson will be first out you’re looking at Ashton Winger on the camera right now Winger RSVP recreational vehicle Select Credit Union remarketing Solutions Super K Express Trucking rocket with Durham for power next up Benji Hicks Mount Ary North Carolina the Barett Colman Farms tnk Enterprises Double Nickel machine hammer down coming around the racetrack here and the final driver we talk about big perm Fayville North Carolina Dalton Wilson ISC mg L JRR a lot of letters a lot of great sponsors on his Longhorn Clement’s powered machine to the green and now the checkers dalt Wilson going quick initially a 1542 we missed it on screen but Ashton Winger got a little too high getting into turn three slap the uh the wall with the the rear of the car and looks like maybe some damage hopefully just cosmetic but he went ahead and pulled it in and did not take a lap but dton Wilson quickest out of the uh first group at a 15 420 and Benji H Hicks goes second at a 16 051 a sizable Gap there I’m imagine we’re going to see some times in between that be interesting to see if anyone can knock Dalton Wilson off will they take a slow lap for this group or we’re going to go right to it okay well the first car out is Zack MIT will enery South Carolina Clary Hood greeting South Carolina chemicals Fox shocks Longhorn by Wells Clement for power on the 57 next up and around the 96 93 Carson Ferguson Denver North Carolina Colman Farms hopa grading Mega Plumbing Longhorn by WP Clemens for power there way up on the racetrack and the final car on the racetrack of these three as they slow them down problems for a couple of cars looks like Austin Kirk Patrick originally from Ocala Florida the farmis bobarino’s drive shaft shop of Salsbury AKA race cars chassie machine the 11 sits there we have replay coming up we have a flat left rear on the 11 get an idea of what happened here get into turn one yeah right there traction and a little bit of a rough spot in at the same time pulled that left ear right off the wheel and I don’t know if we got a replay of it but I saw uh Carson Ferguson had kind of very similar situation to Aston Winger where he just kind of got up a little too high getting into three and uh got got up into the wall just a little B I didn’t think it was that bad but I guess it was enough to uh to to cause him to pull in with no I believe no time scored there uh Zach Mitchell looks like we get another lap one lap his first lap was a 16 202 so he’s going to get one more shot at it here and see if he can improve and looking pretty good through one and two and not sure what happened there I don’t know he just kind of sat on it for a second and lifted yeah yeah and he does not improve there it looked like I mean almost looked like his foot slipped off the pedal coming off a two there like he he was straight well we got a replay of what happened to Carson getting into turn three trying to go in high just kind of like Ashton you just you just went in too high if you want I know I don’t think we caught a replay of Ashton Winger but it looked almost exactly like that I watched it when it happened just got in got in a little high and hot uh into three and and unfortunately slapped the wall um looks like both of them unfortunately neither of them going to get a lap and going to see if they can get it repaired and get back out uh to start to the tail of a heat race I wish folks could see oh we may have a little bit of view new problem for turn three and four and you can kind of tell if you look here just even in one and two it’s real dark the uh the wall from a little bit of the mud up on it so uh we’re going to get it some scrape time looks like yeah that’s not uncommon it’s we got a heavy track surface tonight a lot of a lot of moisture in it and uh uh throwing this they’re getting in the corner throwing some dirt on the wall and got it kind of covered so we’re going to get it where they can see it better and some stripes up and down that is a part of track prep that have to go out there and do now and then that that ragged Edge that fine line between a really nice high lap around and the wall so close yeah you hate to see that uh for both those guys um you know Carson you know obviously he’s running l series competing for Rookie of the Year on Lucas o and runs with us whenever he gets the gets the opportunity and you know hate to see that we appreciate him coming and racing with us and and uh when he’s able to and and then Ashton obviously being uh you know competing for the series points uh Championship he’s had a rough start or an up and down start missed the show at Talladega just well qualifying at Talladega where he rolled a violent flip got up too high getting in a turn three at Talladega no wall there it was a you know went over the banking and rolled a couple of times he then he started tell prelims didn’t get in through the through prelims and um bounce back a little bit at Altech and Smoky Mountain and with the drop we do a drop one drop your lowest points night in our Championship Standings that definitely helped him out and vaed him from ninth to Fourth when we started counting that after the last race four races in um unfortunately it looks like he’s uh going to have to come from behind uh tonight to stay up you know near in the top five in the point standings well the driver about to come out uh didn’t start from behind the last time he ended up in front at the finish here at ultimate Motorsports in RV park you’re looking at the Fred Caldwell Chevrolet backed 87 of Ross bals Hells Bales set to come out and he will be the first of three drivers again coming that is a wild ride down that little slide into the racetrack that they have made just above Corner number two and you drop your way right in uh I guess if uh you were a skateboarder back back in your younger days you might remember how to go in one of them big bowls I didn’t do much skateboard no but uh those those folks I get I see what you’re saying you’re like dropping into the half bip exactly I did watch some X Games back in the day yeah I went to high school with the guy that uh invented the Oli the standard skateboard trick really yep I mean that’s like the the basic right that’s the one alanan and I I didn’t do a whole lot of skateboarding but that is the one that I everybody has to ollie before they do any other trick and um here we goone on my yeah first few times I tried that was curtailed my skateboarding yeah I figured you know I didn’t want to wear a wrist brace uh throughout all the school so I thought announcing would be better Ross Bales coming out on the racetrack the Fred Caldwell Chevrolet Mid-Atlantic Roofing Wakefield logging longhorned by WP Randy Clary powered race car for the boss Ross Bales next up it is our Series champion defending Series champion Florence Alabama Josh put the horn Towing and Salvage Thorton Iron and Metal CFR racing performance rocket xr1 with Pro Power and the final car on the racetrack the Newport nightmare Jimmy Owens Reese Monument boom test Well Service ultimate Towing and Recovery rocket with Vick Hill for power Ross Bells looking good lap one goes to Second quick at 15975 he improves a 15530 but stays second there and let’s see Josh putam he’ll go 161 117 he’s fifth quick so far and Jimmy Owens rounding out the group goes a 16023 that’s good enough for third currently after I believe we’ve had eight fars hit the track well I think uh folks will know this next one the zero Scott Bloomquist coming out onto the racetrack look at that uh man it’s always so cool you know we don’t we don’t get to uh see Heroes uh in real life a lot but boy this is one the morberg Tennessee Boomer custom home builder Cadillac Ranch Arizona sport Church zero powered by Vic Hill on the track here at ultimate next up down into one the 14 114 of Jordan ker Mount AR North Carolina ultimate Towing traffic control services Capital ways Longhorn with cornet for power and the final car Joey cter Miami Springs Florida SRI performance PFC breaks billin and uhoh problems for Jordan ker on the race I didn’t see what happened uh but he slowed up over here in three and four and got a replay yeah looks like he had some contact with the wall judging by the right re well gets in a big push yeah not a not a not heavy contact just uh enough to get the right rear there hopefully not nothing under the car cosmetic but he thought it was enough to shut it down I got in there a little high and couldn’t get it to turn so one lap remaining for Scott and Joey going to get his full two laps in his Longhorn with Mullins for power that’s the two-car said he hasn’t been really on a dirt track in a couple of years made some laps uh at Cherokee somewhere in between there but in competition in a dirt late model the driver of the two has been out of the seat for the last couple of years and good to have him back I did honestly another surprise entry did not know that was in the works but uh good to see him here good to have him back uh looks like did he roll no I thought C was going to keep rolling not sure if he was going to get another lap anyway but uh he takes it to the pit area all right so here we go see if Scott blunos can improve 15762 was quick or was his lap on time on lap one good enough for third currently Scott has been ready to win one of these races he won his heat race last weekend finished second at alltech yeah Scotts had uh been quick he just uh kind of struggled to put a whole night together there he does not improve he’ll stay third alter’s going to get two laps here hopefully Scott knows that and nope okay yep Jo we took one and that’s all okay so uh all right he’ll uh Joe be where was he8 16 336 so uh knocking the knocking the rust off a little bit a guy that wants to knock off the uh the bad

inside row will be your transfers from uh Heats one and two the outside row will be your transfers from heat three and four so a little different format same format uh generally that the Lucas old series and World of Outlaws use a little different than the traditional format where Heat 2 usually is your outside po of course we also do a redraw among heat race winners so they’ll all get to redraw after their heat race f look like’s getting a getting a second lap here so we had a inadvertent uh Interruption on the rer and he slowed apparently slowed down thinking it was a caution or appeared to so we’re giving him an extra lap there and and it pays off he goes a 16122 move moving him up to uh seven currently not bad for the uh kid that came up through sharp mini late models and

a lot that goes into it just on the series side also on the track side you know all the the folks you see running around here staff shirts and um you know from the officials on the track to the the pit stewards to the folks working the concession stands we appreciate them all and looks like we’re going to get back rolling that is the double zero Josh hen or no Rick kin excuse me uh yeah I want

sponsor Victory Lane Oil chains Souls Automotive all right rocket with Durham for power and now got to spin off four o yep that’s kin kin looping it around just got up high these guys having some issues getting off of turn four uh have been since since hot laps all night uh slip this slick over there and those guys get up high and he look like he looped it around to maybe Keep It Off the Wall there I not sure if for sure if we got a replay of it but so that double zero spun while the other dble zero was making his way out to the racetrack yeah if looks like no harm no foul I don’t think there’s any contact here from our static cam gets in there hot trying to turn it and loop it around looks like he’s going to be good to go to get back rolling yes indeed so Josh Henry this is kin on camera the other double zero that’s out on the RAC track yeah having troubles again getting off of four SL it’s slick up there he’s not the only one we’ve seen other guys have issues getting getting off of four uh getting up way up close to the wall that’s Christian Thomas he he had trouble with it as well and then Josh Henry the uh trade champion from uh Newport Tennessee can’t Trail Trucking Piney Grove beach freezers William electric starters and alternator Savage chassis with Vic Hill on this D zero that is on camera coming out of corner number four and these guys having all kinds of

third quick as so far with a 16685 well the track record holder coming up all so we know we I believe we’ve got a red flag yeah I think um we had a little bit of light rain it actually might be I think we’re going to need to do some track so you know get the track here um looks like we’ve had a little bit of rain a little bit of drizzle and might be having more of an effect on the track than was initially thought and we are switching the radar there you see it coming over the track and uh believe maybe we’re going to roll some cars out to keep uh keep the track rolled in or or not okay so those guys were already on the ramp is what it was and uh the the drop in you were talking about so we’re going to bring those guys uh uh onto the track and then back off the exit here to the track and um going to kind of wait for this drizzle to to stop get the track rolled in and uh regroup here with qualifying so I think group a is done I don’t think there’s any issues there with with Group B we’re going to have to evaluate how that’s going to be handled with the guys some guys haven’t already qualified uh and and more than half the group left to go so going to be a a bit of a break here uh look like just a light uh patch green patch on the radar coming through hopefully it moves through quick and we can get this track back rolled in and good to go I don’t think we’ll be waiting very long so y’all hang tight but we’ll get back going in a second from Ultimate Motorsports and RV Park in Ela North Carolina un thefront dotv and we’ll be back with more as you’re looking at will dkes he’ll be watching we’ll be watching him we’ll be back to Ultimate Motorsports in RV park stay with us dirt track fantasy sports is finally here introducing dirt draft the online fantasy sports app
