CCSDS: Four On the Floor For Wallace at Beebe

Ben Shelton, series report

BEEBE, Ark.  – Aug. 26. All-time tour win leader, Wendell Wallace, scored his series best fourth COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) win of the 2011 season by topping the $2,000-to-win event on Friday night at Beebe Speedway.

An racy surface greeted the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series competitors at the 1/4 mile oval on Friday, and it was Brandon Smith who topped heat race action to earn the JFR Graphics Pole Position for the feature, with Wallace joining him on the front row.

With the green flag in the air, Smith led the first lap with Wallace, Kyle Beard, Dewaine Hottinger, and Jon Mitchell nipping at his heels.  Smith saw Wallace shoot by him to take over the lead on the second lap,a lead that Wallace would never relinquish, although he would see a late race challenge from Beard.  Beard jumped to the cushion late in the event as he made a serious dent in Wallace's advantage, but would fall three car lengths short at the

NALMS Suspends Remaining Season

In a statement released to the racing media Monday, Northern All All Stars Late Model Series (NALMS) owners Shawn Hall and Bob Mooney relased the following statement:

To all NALMS drivers and fans,

Northern Allstars Late Model Series regrets to inform all of our drivers and fans that as of today (May 14, 2012) we will suspend all series races for the remaining 2012 season. The primary reason for the decision to discontinue the series was mainly economics. Tracks, teams and fans are having a hard time these days with the cost of living in general. With the cost of fuel, parts, tires, tickets and lodging, many people just cannot afford to travel to our shows, so we feel it's best to stop for now and try to regroup for the 2013 season.

Our series needs to be able to have at least 18 to 20 shows to cover our cost of putting on these shows and our drivers point funds. With many tracks cutting back on their special events and other tracks just choosing not to have specials at all, it's has really cut our options for race tracks down to a very few unless you are willing to travel several hours away from the Central Illinois area, and that is not cost effective for the racing teams or fans.

In closing we would like to thank all of the drivers and fans whom have supported the series over the years and we hope to be able to come back with a bigger and better season for everyone in 2013.
