RYAN NEWMAN FOCUSED ON WINNING THE OCT. 12 SMART MODIFIED TOUR RACE AT SOUTH BOSTON SPEEDWAY, ADVANCING IN TOUR PLAYOFFS By Joe Chandler Director, Public Relations South Boston Speedway SOUTH BOSTON, VA (October 1, 2024) – Ryan Newman has a singular focus heading into the 99-lap SMART Modified Tour race that headlines the Hitachi Energy Power Up Race Day event on Saturday afternoon, October 12 at South Boston Speedway. “We’re here to win,” Newman said at a recent testing session at South Boston Speedway. The October 12 race at South Boston Speedway is the next-to-last race of the season for the SMART Modified Tour powered by Pace-O-Matic and is a key race in determining the tour championship. The tour championship will be determined in a playoff among the top five drivers in the point standings heading into the South Boston Speedway event. Two playoff drivers with the least amount of points after the South Boston Speedway race will be eliminated, with the top three drivers in points, known as the SMART 3, advancing to compete for the tour championship in the October 19 season finale at North Wilkesboro (NC) Speedway. However, if one of the two drivers with the least amount of points wins the race, that driver will become one of the SMART 3, and the next lowest driver in points would be eliminated. Newman, a two-time winner on the tour this season, sits fourth in the standings 30 points behind third-place driver Danny Bohn, 38 points behind second place driver Luke Baldwin and 58 points behind tour points leader Carson Loftin.

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.... |
