CARSON LOFTIN CHARGES LATE FOR HICKORY HUNDRED VICTORY Teenager Wins 4 of First 6 Races of 2024 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Newton, NC (April 7, 2024) - Carson Loftin entered the Hickory Hundred on Saturday night (April 13) as the only multi-time winner of the season for the SMART Modified Tour powered by Pace-O-Matic. The 16 year-old driver ended the night by collecting his fourth Bankers Life SMARTY trophy of 2024, this time at the famed Hickory Motor Speedway. “I have no words,” Loftin said in Pace-O-Matic Victory Lane. “We were 18th in practice, we were really shaking our heads there, but Tony helped us figure out what was going on with the motor. Justin Link and all these guys, they put this thing in Victory Lane. This is for all of them. This thing (car) was a rocket ship tonight and I was the one who got to drive it.” After chasing the rear bumper of Pace-O-Matic Pole Award winner Matt Hirschman for several laps, Loftin got to the inside of Hirschman in turn three with 33 laps to go and took command of the race. “I wanted to get by Hirschman there since track position would be so big when we took the tire (during the pitstop),” said the driver of the L&R Transmissions / Le Bleu Bottled Water / QMF Metal Fabrication number 23.

THE SMARTY TROPHY
The Tom Dawson Trophy belongs to the winner of the Snowball Derby, the Guitar is given out at Fairgrounds Speedway in Nashville for the All American 400, Martinsville rewards winners with a Ridgeway Grandfather Clock. Now there’s a new special trophy that’s arrived to the racing scene. Like at Kentucky Speedway you get a Crosley jukebox for winning, Meridian Speedway gives it’s winners a unique trophy that features the town’s water tower that’s behind the track. The SMART Modified Tour will showcase a brand newly created trophy at the next scheduled event which stands to be Caraway Speedway in July. The tour director Chris Williams extended his personal thoughts about generic trophies. “Traditionally winners are presented column trophies.” Said a reluctant Williams. “I was looking for something completely different. I wanted something so unique and interesting that the drivers will be shocked and astonished to see it. I want those drivers to keep coming back to claim one of these uniquely created trophies.” READ MORE.... |
