Season Preview and 2020 Recap

April 8, 2021

We're just one night away from the start of the racing season over at Thomas County Speedway! The five classes navigated a unique 2020 season and are looking forward to 2021. Hot laps start at 7:20 PM, the racing starts at 8:00 PM, be sure to head over to see a great night of racing, and at the end stick around for the 2020 championship awards. The modifieds class will pay out $500 to their feature winner, defending track champion Clay Money looks to keep the success train rolling. In the seven races last year Money never finished outside of the top ten, he collected one win, and six top-fives. Daniel Gottschalk who was track champion in 2019, finished just three points behind Money last year, it'll be interesting to see them two battle it out again this year. Could Kyle Rohleder who won twice last year, make a run for the championship? Time will tell, but being the only multi-time winner in the class last year, has to have him feeling confident going into 2021. 2020 Modified Points: 1. (7) Clay Money (267 Points) 2.
