Weekend Recap: Boggs wins at Southern & Owens wins Lucas Oil

The dirt track racing season closed for many track in the region this past weekend, with 191 Speedway promoters announcing last week that they wouldn't even be racing their final race of the season this past Saturday due to economic times. A lot of race tracks around the country are struggling, that's why it's so important that people get out and support their local dirt track. 191 promoters did say that they would announce their 2014 rules on their Facebook page soon.

Willard Speedway was one of only two tracks that raced in the area this weekend. Although they don't race super late models, they still host limited late models, open wheel mods, bombers, sport mods, and 4 cylinders. 

Friday night winners at Willard where: James Williamson (Limiteds), Jimmy Crabtree (Mods), Fred McGlone (Sports Mods), Brett Carey (Bombers), Brandon Kelly (4-cylinders), Dustin Gwinn (Enduros).

Willard will be racing against this upcoming Friday night as well (Oct. 11).

Lucky 7 raced Friday night as well, but they haven't posted any results on their Facebook page, however we do know that #9 Justin King won limited late model feature.
