A Little History…

Oglethorpe Speedway Park celebrates it's 59th         Anniversary in 2010. The half mile speedway has     entertained race fans since March of 1951 when   championship motorcycle racing debuted in              Savannah.  The first stock car race took place at the historic half mile in May of 1951. Johnnie Parsons was the first winner.  Parsons was the defending Indy 500 winner that year.

 

The tradition of championship racing in a family     oriented facility lives on as Oglethorpe Speedway Park runs weekly racing events on Friday nights at 8:00pm.  Late Models, Street Stocks, Mini Stocks, Pure Stocks and 440s make up the weekly schedule.

Results from Friday, July 9, 2010:

 

Was the Wildcat Archery & Hunting Supply Pure Stock Special with the Pure Stocks running a 25 lap feature with a twist, after the first ten laps the entire field was stopped on the front straight away and Bill Henneman (owner of Wildcat Archery) spun the inversion wheel. The wheel landed on 8 which inverted the lead eight cars, the wheel was spun again at lap 20 which also had the lead 8 cars inverting for a five lap shoot-out.  When all was said and done Daniel Douglas would take the checkers for the Wildcat Archery & Hunting Supply Pure Stock Special.
