We want to thank everyone who mcade tonight possible at Jacksonville Speedway.  For 30 years we have raced Sprint Cars at Jacksonville and tonight was our night to be on the big stage.  Jacksonville should just be a blip on the radar for the Outlaw brass, but we haven't encountered a better group of folks to work with. We are indebted to all of the drivers, teams and fans who made this event happen.

One other thing worth mentioning.  After the races we came across the Fox Bros. team filling with gas at a local pump.  It quickly became obvious that they had 3 things that the other frontrunners didn't"

1. A dually

2. A 28 foot trailer too short to fit the car in without taking the wing off first

3. The winner's check.

For multiple reasons I loved this post:  (A)  track personnel thanking all involved (fans, drivers & teams) for making the night a success  (B)  great to see a lower budget team can still win a WoO "A" main.

That's the beauty of the short tracks! Bell said they ran poorly at Eldora but a low budget team doesn't have the horsepower to compete at Eldora, but they competed/won at Jacksonville! 

Sounds like this race was a huge sucess. Will this become an annual event by any chance?  These little tracks even up the cars as see by the Bell win. GOOD JOB Bell and Jacksonville Speedway.

Just goes to show you it was driving ability that won last nights race and not the $50,000 engines that finished 2nd and 3rd! Honestly, Bell just simply out drove Pittman and Schatz. He drove the perfect race!I Its refreshing to hear that a smaller  team out-competed 2 multi million dollar teams! Just proves its not about who has the most horsepower on smaller bullrings but who is the better driver! Great job Christopher!

You dont see to many promoters come here before the race and post their  phone number for people to call if they have any questions,like they did as well. 

Ken Dobson has rolled the carpet out, for example, at last years innaugural POWRi Speed Week event at Jacksonville,similar to what he did for the WoO show this year. 

To bad other promoters dont take notice of this like this.....

Thought we would share this pic we took today for those of you who didn't see it floating around social media.  I think Chris hit his mark here with no room to spare for about 30 laps in a row.

are you going do it again next year
