Pleasanton, Tx.,(April 24th, 2010) After a scheduled week off, which was probably a good thing after rains soaked the track, racing resumed at Pleasanton’s I-37 Raceway Saturday evening under sunny skies. Several new drivers showed up making their first appearance on the 1/4 mile, semi-banked clay oval just south of San Antonio.
There was plenty of action throughout the night with two cars taking tumbles, and two new first time winners. During intermission James Blaylock, still trying to shake down a new car, rolled over the turn 3 hill in hot laps. Blaylock rebounded to finish third in the main. Roy Easler clipped an infield tire while battling for the Front Runner lead and ended up on his roof. He was able to climb out uninjured. Continue reading »

Greenbrier Arkansas’ Jack Sullivan wasn’t planning on a trip to Texas this weekend, but when the race he had scheduled rained out, the team headed west.

Chasing Sullivan throughout most of the race was yet another pro, Billy Moyer. Moyer caught Sullivan in traffic for the final few circuits, but could get no closer than Sullivan’s rear bumper as the Arkansas duo finished one-two to sweep the local SUPR stars. Continue reading »
