(Las Cruces, NM)-The forecasted rains would not fall as the Southern New Mexico Speedway lucked out as the Renegade Sprint Car Series, 4-Corner Late Models, Rick’s Performance Center Street Stocks, Hornets, and Limited X-Mods brought a total of 111 cars from three states and two countries to the pits in anticipation of a great night of racing.

To the drop of the green flag as the Limited X-Mods started off the nights A-Mains with Israel Ortega showing the way early on as the field ran side by side and three wide. Up to sixth, the 44 of Christy Georges was on the move as the 44 looking to move into fifth as the caution waved for a three car pileup. Back underway, the battle for third would go three wide for a moment before the caution waved again. To the restart and the battle was for second between Duane Murphy and Dustin Smith with Murphy holding the runner up position. After nearly spinning on an earlier restart, the 44 of Georges was back up to fourth as Dustin Smith finally made the move to second. Side by side for second, Georges and Smith would make some contact but both drivers would roll away as the track stayed green. Tripping over the high line, the 11 of Ortega would lose the lead to the 44 as Georges and Smith both moved by. As the 44 and the 65 began to pull away, the battle from sixth to tenth was very good with Duane Murphy holding tough over Kenny Medina then Mercedes Harris as Dusty Riggs and Todd Harper battled behind the 29 and the 5 before the caution waved. With ten laps to run, the 44 of Georges would have no problem pulling away but the drivers on the move were the 85 of Austin Adams, the 5x of Patrick Carney, and the 96 of Dusty Riggs as all three drivers moved up into the top five with Adams up to second but would not be able to run down the 44 as Christy Georges took the win. Austin Adams would hold onto second with Patrick Carney, Dustin Smith, and Dusty Riggs rounding out the top five.

To the Hornets as the 241 of David Jay Jr. showed the way for much of the early part of the A-Main before contact with a lapped car would hand the lead to the 005 of Jose Duran. Starting to work form the back of the running order, the 8 of Cory Brownwood and the 88 of Mike Mays would move into the top five along with Jeffery Maag as all three drivers gave chase to the 005 who was to a half track advantage with just under half the A-Main left to run. Weaving in and out of slower traffic, the 005 would be unfazed as Jose Duran held on to win with Cory Brownwood working from the twenty third position to second. Jeffery Maag, Mike Mays, and George LeRose rounded out the top five.

To the racing surface, the 4-Corner Late Model/Advanced Towing Limited Late Models brought 24 cars to the racing surface with Ron Frazier taking full advantage of his front row starting position. Trying to pull away, the 26 of Frazier would begin having trouble with his car as it started becoming tighter and tighter from the center of the corner off; allowing the 40j of Jeff Davis to make the pass into the race lead. Moving into third, the 44 of Christy Georges would begin going to work on taking over second from Frazier with the 24 of Rick Ortega looking to move into the top five after a close side by side battle with Richard Johnson. With cautions plaguing the Late Model A-Main, Georges would have several chances to get the jump on Davis but on the high line the 40j would just pull away as Georges held onto to second. On the move, the 94 of James Chaves Jr. would pick his battles carefully after starting twenty-second on the lineup, using cautions to his advantage to get the jump. With no one able to run with the 40j, the Aztec, New Mexico racer ran in a league of his own as Chaves worked into third after a late restart with just under ten to go saw the 94 charge up from tenth. With the final couple of laps approaching, the 94 would go after Christy Georges for second as the two battled side by side with Chaves making the pass. Out front, the 40j of Jeff Davis would cruise to victory as the battle for second was a drag race to the line with Christy Georges taking the runner up spot away at the line. James Chaves Jr., Rick Ortega, and Ron Frazier rounded out the top five.

To the Rick’s Performance Center Street Stocks with the 37j of Joe Rodriguez spinning after starting at the front of the field ending his night less than 300 feet into the race. To the restart, the 48t of Paul Telles Jr. would get the jump of the night as the two drivers scheduled to start in front of him would drop out, giving the 48t the pole. Taking full advantage of his luck, the 48t would show the way before the 5 of Dewayne Thurman was able to take over the lead. Pulling away, slower traffic did not seem to be an issue for Thurman as the 5 weaved in and out of cars without missing a beat. A half straight back, the 2 of Tyler Jackson was on the move with Donovan Flores throwing his name into the mix as they ran three wide with Paul Telles Jr. for second. Holding the spot, the 48t would finally fall to third after being held up behind lapped traffic; giving second to Donovan Flores before the caution waved for Telles who came to a stop on the high side of turn three. On the restart, Thurman would immediately begin to pull away as the battle for fourth would heat up between the 88 of Ozzie Noder and the 2 of Tyler Jackson with Noder taking the position. For second, the 07 of Donovan Flores would have plenty to contend with as Jason Ziehl worked high and low trying to get the run but no one was going to touch Dewayne Thurman as the 5 took the win. Donovan Flores would hold onto second with Jason Ziehl, Ozzie Noder, and Tyler Jackson rounding out the top five.

The salute, the lineup and the green flag as the Renegade Sprint Car Series mashed the go fast button with Robert Herrera leading on the opening lap. On the move, the 131 of Royal Jones would move into third with Don Grable in his sights. Not able to make the pass, the 131 watched as the 9 and the 148 would nearly collide as Herrera bobbled; allowing the 148 of Grable to squeak by for the lead before the caution waved for John Carney II. To the restart and Carney’s night would not get any better after having to drop to the back of the field only to nearly flip after contact with Jim Hardison and Cesar Fuentes. To the restart, the 131 of Royal Jones would move into second with Kyle McCutcheon right on the back bumper of the 131; shadowing Jones into third. Trying to run down Don Grable for the race lead, the 131 would have to contend with Kyle McCutcheon as the 5 moved to the runner up spot but not for long as the 5 planted his right rear on the high line to grab the lead. Moving into the top five, the 18 of Lorne Wofford would move into third now directly behind the 19 of Wes Wofford after Jones high stepped the high line; falling back to fifth. Flying past lapped traffic, the 5 would see his advantage leave when a late race caution put the field on his back bumper. Restarting to the inside line, the 18 of Wofford would trying and get the jump on McCutcheon but the high line was to good as Kyle McCutcheon took the win with Lorne Wofford second. Kyle Sager would take third with Royal Jones and Don Grable rounding out the top five.

(Las Cruces, NM)-The skies looked they were ready to open up but would stay just southwest of the Speedway as the Barnett Harley Davidson UMP DIRTcar West Modifieds, Rick’s Performance Center Street Stocks, Advanced Towing Limited Late Models, and Legends were set to headline the racing action this past Saturday at the Southern New Mexico Speedway.

Through the dashes and into the A-Main, the races were rolling right along as the Advanced Towing Limited Late Models started off the nights main events. Leading early on, the 22 of Jonathan Ortega would use the high line to his advantage as the Las Cruces native began to run away. Working the bottom, Roger Owens would move his Win Tax Pros 10 into third and was looking for second but the top of the track was coming in fast; allowing the 44 of Christy Georges to move by. Up to second in a matter of laps, the MSD Ignition 44 would pull right to the back bumper of the GRC 22 driven by Ortega. With the top two pulling away, cautions would play an integral part in the battle of the win as Georges would pull off a Sprint Car style slide job to grab the lead and pull away in the final laps of racing. Jonathan Ortega, Sherman Barnett, Roger Owens, and Cliff Hanson rounded out the top five.

In the Legends, the 3d would waste no time in laying waste to the field as the Alamogordo racer ran to the front and ran away. Back to the battle for second, the 95 of Donnie Reynolds would work several laps with the 357 of Landis Hartranft with the 95 able to take the position while Morgen Wright, Dave Snyder, and Tim Zuloaga all ran within striking distance of each other for forth with Wright taking the position. Up front, there was not battle for Don Reynolds as the 3d took the win to keep in main event win record perfect at the Southern New Mexico Speedway in 2010. Donnie Reynolds, Landis Hartranft, Morgen Wright-Pfeiffer, and Dave Snyder rounded out the top five.

Thirteen rows of Street Stocks made their way to the Southern New Mexico Speedway with the 31jr of Jacob Rodriguez showing the early on as the battle for the lead would see the 5 of Dewayne Thurman make several attempts on the 31jr but Rodriguez would hold the top spot until his car began to push handing the lead to Tyler Jackson. Into slower traffic, the 2 of Jackson would be joined by the 45 of Jason Ziehl and the 07 of Donovan Flores as both drivers were able to work into second and third amidst cautions and slower cars. As the race came within 10 laps of the checkered flag, the battle for the lead would see the 45 of Ziehl pull off a huge pass for the top spot, leaving Jackson to fight off Donovan Flores who was in a good battle with Dewayne Thurman for third. Looking high and low as the leaders raced back into slower traffic after an earlier restart, the 45 looked to be on his way to win but as the white flag waved, the battle for the win was on as Jackson ran right to the back bumper of Ziehl as the two raced off of turn two for the final time. Into turns three and four, Ziehl would run the high line while Jackson turned ever so slightly in the middle of the corner, catching the middle just right to diamond off of turn four to steal the win away from Jason Ziehl. Third would go to Donovan Flores with Dwayne Thurman and Patrick Beach rounding out the top five.

With 28 cars on the track, the green flag was set to wave for the UMP West Modifieds as Jacob Gallardo would jump out to the race lead. Working the high line, the J17 would not run away for long as the 44 of Christy Georges ran the bottom the Southern New Mexico Speedway into the runner up spot with leading on her mind. Side by side, the 44 of Georges would have her work cut out for her as Gallardo held tough on the high line before falling back to third as Royal Jones began to make his presence known. Switching lines to the high side, the 44 left the bottom grove wide open as the 131 of Jones worked wheel to wheel with his arch rival for the lead. Lap after lap, the 44 would hold the top spot then lose it for a moment as Jones would gain the advantage before Georges was able to power back to the lead before the top finally deteriorated allowing Jones to lead to the caution. On the restart, the 131 would stick to the bottom while the 111 of Bumper Jones was still able to work the top with the 2s of Stormy Scott and the G17 of Fito Gallardo in pursuit. Side by side for the lead, the 111 worked by his father Royal to show the way but the car on the move was the 3j of Josh Cain as the Moriarty, New Mexico racer moved into the top five before the caution waved for Christy Georges. On the restart, it was dash to the bottom grove as Stormy Scott worked into second with the 131 of Royal Jones falling to third where the battle with Cain would shape up. Able to move up to round out the podium, the 3j would begin to run after the 2s and the 111 but as the checkered flag waved, Bumper Jones would not be denied as the GRT by Team Speed 111 took the win with Stormy Scott, Josh Cain, Royal Jones, and Fito Gallardo rounding out the top five.

Holding the lead, the 33 would now have to contend with the 96 of Dusty Riggs as he got the pass on the 33 of Allen. On the move, the 44 of Christy Georges worked into forth and quickly began looking for more as the 44 raced into the race lead as the field came to the caution. On the restart, Riggs would fall to fourth as Sherman Barnett would make a big move into second as the battles at the front would go three wide before the caution waved. Running away, the 44 of Georges would run right around the tires as back up to second would be the 96 of Riggs but with just a few laps to run, the 44 of Georges would make it win number three of the weekend.

To the Hornets as the 18 of Gary Mays would work into the race lead after the 57 of Harry Binkley bobbled. Out front, the 18 would quickly put a good amount of distance over the field as the 1x George LeRose worked into second. In lapped traffic, the 18 would find himself held up allowing the 1x to close in but just as LeRose would close in to pass, slower traffic would bite the 1x and the 18 would pull away. After starting as the back of the field, the show to watch was now the 8 of Cory Brownwood and the 88 of Mike Mays as both drivers worked into the top five but with laps clicking down to zero, the 18 of Gary Mays would not be denied as the TorC, New Mexico racer took the win.

The Super Trucks to the race surface and the Walton Kyle Jr. would lead the drop of the green flag but on the high line it was the 241 of Brady Alberson would get the jump into the race leads as the Sherman Barnett worked to grab second in the opening laps. Up to battle, the 3d of Brent Deetz would begin working into the top five as the caution waved for the 01 of Dave Deetz after contact with the 77 of Mike Day. On the restart, the 241would be briefly challenged but would again pull away as the driver on the move as the 01 of Dave Deetz who was on a mission. Back to the front of the field, the 241 would continue to show the way as the battle for the top five was on with Walton Kyle Sr., Walton Kyle Jr., Rick Jackson, and Dave Deetz all trading spots in a family versus family race that would see Dave Deetz rebound in a big way but the win would belong to Brady Alberson.

The Rick’s Performance Center Street Stocks with two starts as the 87jr of Justin Rodriguez would spin to force the restart. Back to green and the 15x of Sean Bowman would jump up to grab the lead from the 31jr of Jacob Rodriguez before the caution waved again for Jason Ziehl. To the green and Bowman would pull away as Tyler Jackson, Donovan Flores, Jacob Rodriguez, Justin Rodriguez, and Tudy Barela started to battle through out the field while charging from the back was Jason Ziehl. Working back into the top five, the 45 would see all lanes blocked as the battle from second through fourth raged on with Donovan Flores giving chase to Sean Bowman. Up to second, the 07 would peek to the inside line several times but would not be able to get the run as Bowman held a firm line and at times used slower cars as picks to block the 07 from begin able to make a run for the lead as the 15x held on to win.

To the drop of the green flag and the Renegade Sprint Car Series was underway with the 9 of Robert Herrera taking the early race lead. Working right around the bottom, the 9 would be challenged by the 131 of Royal Jones. Working the high line, Jones would run wheel to wheel with Herrera to get the pass for the top spot. As the track started to take rubber, the line would move to the center to the top of the racetrack as the 21 of Brandon Schure moved to second and began going to work on Jones. Keeping thir momentum up, the 131 and the 21 would start to run away but it wouldn’t take long for the field to start running them down as Dylan Harris, Cesar Fuentes and John Carney II worked into the top five before the caution waved. Side by side on the restart, the 3s of Carney would get the jump into third and began going after Schure for second. Into the runner up spot, Carney would grab the lead but it would be short lived as the 3s worked the high line as the racing grove was no on the bottom part of the track; giving the lead back to Jones’ 131. Slipping back to third the race for the win was about to get intense as Carney worked back into second but would be blocked as every turn by Jones. With laps clicking downs the battle raged up front as Lorne Wofford was making up for lost ground. Into third, the 18 was all but smoking the tires to run down the top two drivers. Five laps, four laps, two laps, the 131 would slip just enough to allow the 3s to get to the inside in a drag race to the white flag with Carney taking the lead and the win as Lorne Wofford made a last second pass to second leaving Royal Jones to round out the top three.
